The Gluten Free School Podcast

If you’ve ever wondered “How much sugar is too much sugar?“, you’re in for a treat! Before I can break that down for you, you have to know how to figure out the amount of sugar in your food. That’s the most complicated part of this process. You’ve probably noticed that all of the nutrition…

I know you have good intentions, but we need to talk… You’re trying so hard to be healthy this holiday season… doing your best to make better choices and eat less junk even though you’re addicted to sugar. With the hopes that after the holidays, you’ll simply start fresh. But I know you have your…

One common thread for clients with hormone issues is post birth control syndrome that can rear it’s ugly head years later. Wait… did you just say post birth control syndrome? What the heck is that?!?! It’s a very real issue that results from being currently on or having taken birth control pills (BCPs) — even…

In my opinion, the term “detoxing” is thrown around way too much. (Especially liver detox!) It seems like every other product released into the marketplace is detoxing something. Your skin… Your gut… Your liver… Your blood… Your lymphatic system… The list goes on and on. But one thing has become quite clear to me →…

Apparently everyone who’s chronically tired has adrenal fatigue. It’s pretty easy to self-diagnose it thanks to the nearly three million search results for the term on Google. While I certainly believe in adrenal fatigue (and even had it myself back in 2009), most of my clients who swear they have this issue end up with…

Do food sensitivities make you sick? It’s certainly possible. There’s a lot of controversy around food sensitivities and if they’re even real! If you want to know more about what they are (and what they aren’t), I have a great post you can read (HERE). The reason I bring this topic up today is that…

Let’s talk about how to make a protein shake at home! I love protein shakes.  Every morning, I indulge and start my day with a protein shake that is both delicious and packed full of amazing nutrition. But not everyone enjoys starting their day with the same thing in the morning. I often get asked…

Everyone’s stressed out. And I’m willing to bet good money that until now, you’ve probably managed to muscle your way through it. You put on a strong, brave face, right? I get it… I’ve got plenty of clients who do that daily. Heck, I’ve used that method myself for many years in the past. But…

Your inner critic can be the most deadly opponent you face. Day in and day out, it’s willing to go to awful lengths to keep you small, feeling trapped, and never making any changes no matter how necessary. And for that very reason, today’s podcast is one of the most personal I’ve ever recorded. If…

I never wondered how long does it take to get better when I figured realized I was sick. Back in 2007, I felt like I was an elderly person. I didn’t feel like myself and knew inside that something was very wrong. Doctors told me that I was fine. Maybe I needed some B vitamins…

My advice on how to make New Years resolutions is unconventional. Simply put — don’t make any. I’m not advocating for you to do nothing. Instead, I think there’s something much more powerful that will actually get the job done. Allow me a moment to explain… Many years ago, I was living in a tiny…

I expected my very first holiday being gluten free to be a total bust. At the time, I didn’t have any strategies or gluten free holiday tips to rely on. Instead, I expected to hit a bunch of “speed bumps” pretty hard. Yes, I was embarrassed by a relative who mocked my diet change. No, I totally failed…

There’s an interesting overlap to MTHFR, Methylation, and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. One that should not be overlooked or ignored. Methylation and Hashimoto’s are two big topics on their own, but I wanted to know if some sort of connection exists. If so, then hypothyroid suffers should know because methylation challenges should really be addressed as part…

If you’ve ever asked your doctor if your diet could help you feel better only to be told no, keep reading. Today’s podcast is about the truly inspiring and remarkable journey of Linda. She decided to give functional nutrition a try after spending 35+ years going to doctors to figure out how she could get…

I wouldn’t be surprised that if your thyroid is out of whack, you’ve likely searched for solutions for Hashimoto’s online. Many people do because you may have more options available to you than what your conventional doctor offers. While I admit that thyroid care is in a terrible state, there is hopeful research in the works.…

Have you ever waited months (or years) for an appointment with a doctor only to end up blanking at your chance to tell your health story? It happens all of the time. Even though you know what you’ve been through, it can feel like a real uphill battle to organize your health journey in a…

No, you aren’t crazy. It is absolutely possible to reverse autoimmune disease with diet changes. Before you think you’ve found your silver bullet, know that taking the dietary and lifestyle change route is a long game. It’s certainly possible to feel improvements within days, but it doesn’t mean that your thyroid will kick back into…

Fibromyalgia is a debilitating, chronic illness. It steals the joy from your life and prevents you from caring for your family and home the way you’d like. Heck, chronic fibromyalgia even make it a total struggle to make it to and through work. I know some people who’ve ended up leaving their job and wish there was a way…

You’ve likely heard (or at least you will right now) that everything in your body is connected. One huge piece of this is the thyroid connection to feeling well. But too often women (and even some wonderful men) are blown off or brushed aside even though they have symptoms of thyroid dysfunction. Maybe you’ve heard…

Do you know how to talk to your doctor (or practitioner) so that they have enough information to be able to help you? Of maybe the better question is… have you ever lied to your doctor? It might be a little white lie (“no, I don’t take any supplements” when you actually do) or a…

Are you one of the many who feel that the process of healing costs a lot of money? If so, I have a question for you. Have you actually tried doing the free things that also can dramatically impact your health… you know, like meditation or mindfulness? Both are the two recommendations I share with…

If you’re like many out who were surprised to discover that something was actually wrong with your health, this podcast is for you. The question “How do you know if you are healthy?” when you feel fine is admittedly a good one. Using how you feel as the barometer might not be the most effective…

One of the biggest reasons I started Seasons 2 of the Gluten Free School Podcast was to help you get better in a much shorter period of time. My perspective is this… if you’ve been wondering why you aren’t feeling better after seeing your practitioner, then what CAN you do to make sure that progress…

One of the reasons that I started Season 2 of the Gluten Free School Podcast was to help empower you and other patients out there so that you can see results sooner. Clear, smart health goal setting for measuring progress with the practitioners deserves more attention. Why? Because you don’t necessarily have to rely on expensive…

Do you think that Functional Medicine can heal or cure you? Do you think it’s a surefire silver bullet that’s guaranteed to reverse any amount of damage to your body? Well, I think it’s high time for a dose of reality for managing patient expectations regarding what Functional Medicine can and can’t do for you.…

Have you wondered if there are some signs or red flags bad practitioners have that you could spot ahead of time? You know… before you spend money and time with them? There certainly are and that’s what today’s conversation is focused around… what red flags you can look out for so that you don’t end…

Have you ever felt depressed? Depressed enough to ask for and take medication? Before taking antidepressants, I want you to consider that they aren’t just easy-to-pop little pills guaranteed to make you feel better. Despite what all the happy TV commercials say, the side effects and long-term implications can be pretty troubling. I know the antidepressant battle…

After taking a bit of a hiatus, I’m back with Season 2 of the Gluten Free School Podcast that I’m calling “How to Be a Better Patient.” Each episode will focus around one step that you can do before, during and after your visits to see better, more efficient results working with practitioners. I know…

Known as the “great imposter,” Lyme disease is a growing epidemic that can be difficult to diagnose as well as treat. While you might think that in order to get lyme disease, you needed to discover a bull’s eye rash somewhere on your body after taking a walk in the woods, that notion may no longer…

If you’re life has turned into one perpetual state of exhaustion, I’ve got something really important to share with you — it’s not normal to be that tired. Regardless of how you got there, it’s possible that you’ve blown off many key, but not well known adrenal fatigue symptoms that could help you get your…

Have you found yourself staring at some produce at the grocery store, one row is organic and the other is not, unable to justify the added cost of the organic option? While I’m all for finding creative ways to buy better quality foods, sometimes you’ve got to understand the distinct value of why organic costs more.…

First it was a fear of fat, now it seems to be carbs. Have you found yourself asking with the increase in popularity of low carb and high fat or ketogenic diets – “are carbs bad for you?” While I wish the answer was cut and dry, it’s not and part of the reason why…

I thought that MSG was something only found in Chinese food, but apparently it’s found all throughout processed food products including those that are gluten free. This reality floored me because I honestly didn’t know very much about MSG other than it can make you feel awful if you’re sensitive to it and that it’s best…

Got stress? The answer to that question should undoubtedly be yes, no matter whether you feel “stressed out” or not. What you may not realize is that when stress is left unchecked, it can have long-term negative consequences. Do you realize how stress affects digestion and why even if you’re eating the best diet possible, you still…

Do you ever feel like a total black sheep when it comes to your health? Getting picked on and teased by family, friends or coworkers who don’t get your dietary or lifestyle choices is by no means fun and at time undermine your commitment to being healthy. It’s normal to want to feel normal and…

Are you frustrated by how many different gluten free diets there are out there that might help you feel better? While I wish that going gluten free was enough to fix everything, that’s certainly not the case (do not believe anyone who says gluten free is “the” fix to every health problem there is). I should…

Did you ever walk into a room and totally blank on why you came in there in the first place? Lose your keys? While you’re not alone in these “senior moments,” the missing link that’s keep you from optimal brain function and power is lies somewhere you might not expect – in your gut. New…

Honestly, I thought MTHFR stood for a bad word when I first started seeing it pop up on the internet. “Must be some new acronym kids thought of.” But when I learned that the MTHFR mutation was something pretty important and involved with detoxification, I thought I should take a second look at it. Turns…

Good health starts in your gut, right? I’m sure you’ve heard me say this many time. But you’ve probably wondered (as have many listeners) about how to make fermented foods that are loaded with the good bacteria (aka probiotics) for your gut! You could take a probiotic supplement to help get the job done, however fermented foods…

Anyone who is chronically ill can attest that unendingly sickness is no fun. With the rate of autoimmune disease on the rise, some have turned to the Autoimmune Paleo Protocol (AIP) as a possible answer to getting their body back on track. The problem though is that the Autoimmune Paleo Protocol is, in all honesty, a…

While there’s some debate about whether it’s safe to go gluten free without a celiac diagnosis, the question about the safety of a gluten free pregnancy seems to be another can of worms. Women naturally worry if a dietary change can cause harm during a time when restricting foods generally considered healthy aren’t typically a…

Do you ever feel like your doctors (and other practitioners) aren’t giving you the attention and care you really need? Have you wondered to yourself how to get your doctor to listen to you? I’m willing to bet that nearly every single reader at GFS has unfortunately felt ignored, dismissed, blown off or downright disrespected at…

Got thyroid symptoms despite “normal” thyroid lab work, but your doctor says you’re fine? Think again. There are too many women (and men) falling through the cracks of our healthcare system when it comes to thyroid dysfunction. Symptoms are blown off and testing tends to be inadequate. And even those who do get diagnosed with hypothyroidism or…

Have you caught yourself asking why is eating gluten free expensive? If so, you’re not alone. I’d guesstimate that 85% of people who attend my talks would agree wholeheartedly that going gluten free became a financial burden. But it doesn’t have to be that way. While I personally know all about the challenges of the…

  When you went gluten free, were you told to beware of nutritional deficiencies as a result of not eating gluten? It’s one of the biggest issues about which critics of the gluten free diet (especially when you don’t have a celiac disease diagnosis) warn. While some of the rhetoric is rather silly since you can…

  Sugar addiction… this is a topic that few in the gluten-free community want to talk about, yet it happens to so many of us. It’s the same story many tell – they went gluten-free for their health and ended up with a massive sugar addiction. While I’ve talked about this a lot here at…

It seems everyone wants to know how to naturally beat a cold and the flu (or avoid them altogether!) this year since the transition of Fall into Winter is the prime time to get sick. Even I haven’t been immune to the bugs bouncing around and took nearly four weeks to clear out a nagging…

Have you ever wondered what gluten, heartburn and GERD have to do with one another? Apparently much of what we know about the latter two is totally wrong and has led to overuse of popular medications for years. The side effects of these drugs include issues close to the heart of women — osteoporosis (just…

I’ve spent the past year traveling the US and it continually amazes me how many people either don’t want to believe that there is such a thing as gluten free sugar addiction OR they chose to ignore it. I honestly don’t think that any of us who care deeply for our health are in the…

  If you’re still trying to figure out how to deal with being gluten free and finding a love of your new lifestyle and food, then this is for you! While my journey to being gluten free started off with a sense of relief because I knew what was wrong, eventually I dealt with the…

In the past several years, there’s been numerous articles on the effects that gut flora or gut bacteria can have on your health.
