What if your chronic pain was actually your biggest breakthrough? After years of unexplained leg pain nearly ended her athletic career, Addison LaBonte made one life-changing decision: she ditched gluten. Not only did it heal her body, but it also ignited a mission to create clean, gluten-free desserts that actually taste amazing.

In this powerful episode, we go deep on training, entrepreneurship, clean ingredients, and how to stop letting fear make your decisions for you.

About Addison LaBonte Addison is a former D1 college athlete turned clean dessert entrepreneur. She’s the founder of Sweet Addison’s, a fast-growing gourmet gluten- and dairy-free dessert brand, and the voice behind the blog Organically Addison. After healing her own body through food, Addison is on a mission to redefine what “healthy” desserts can taste like.
