Previously, in Episode 48: Food Shortages and Celiac Disease, I discussed the challenges of accessing safe gluten free food during crises, such as natural disasters or pandemics. It's helpful to be aware of the resources available to ensure no one has to choose between going hungry or getting sick.​

If you or someone you know needs assistance, please reach out to these organizations. Alternatively, if you're in a position to support, consider donating, volunteering, or simply sharing this information to raise awareness. Small actions can make a significant impact in someone's life.​

In this special Podcasthon episode, I highlight organizations dedicated to providing gluten free food assistance to those in need. Discover how these charities are making a difference and learn how you can support their vital work.​

In this episode of The Healthy Celiac Podcast, I’m diving into a topic that has hit close to home for me this week—dementia. While there’s no definitive proof that celiac disease directly increases dementia risk, research shows that undiagnosed or untreated celiac disease may be a contributing factor. That’s why it’s crucial to stick to a strict gluten free diet and be proactive about your brain health.

I’ll also share 15 practical ways to slow down cognitive decline, from diet and exercise to stress management and social connections. Plus, I’ll open up about my own family’s experience with dementia and what I’ve learned through research.

If you or a loved one has celiac disease and you're concerned about brain health, this episode is packed with actionable steps to help you live a longer, healthier life.
