I am living proof of the healing power of healthy food and lifestyle changes. In 2016, I lost 90% of the hair on my head to an Autoimmune driven, Alopecia Areata flare.

My personal health transformation is the inspiration for my mission: to help those with autoimmune learn how to prioritize healthier food and lifestyle choices to heal their gut, reduce inflammation, reverse their symptoms and uncover their best lives

Gluten sensitivity goes FAR beyond the tell-tale symptoms of digestive discomfort, so if you’re struggling with autoimmune disease, depression, headaches, skin issues, fatigue, numbness and tingling, joint and bone pain, inflammation and swelling, anemia, muscle contractions, foggy thinking or behavior change you’re going to want to listen in! 

After this episode you’ll have a better understanding of the ins and outs of gluten and its far reaching effects on the body as a whole … even if you don’t think it’s impacting your life.
