You Had Me At Eat

Something on your mind? Erica & Jules would love to hear from you!

In this episode, Jules and Erica talk about recent gluten-free recalls, the current state of the FDA, federal recalls vs. brand-led recalls, and why gluten-free certification matters. 

Jules also shares about her recent trip to Ireland, where she was met with enough gluten-free fish & chips for a small Irish seaside village, but was once again disappointed by the "gluten free meal" on Air Lingus.

For our VIP listeners, did you catch the bonus musical number at the end of the show?

In her role as Regional Dietitian at Aramark, she specializes in nutrition, menu transparency, and student engagement, collaborating with teams to promote healthier lifestyles on campus.

Jules and Gabrielle discuss what students with celiac, gluten intolerance, and other food allergies should do before and once they get to campus to maximize their college experience while taking advantage of the accommodations and options available, no matter where they are in school.

In this episode, Erica interviews Debbie and Candice of Two Alpha Gals. These "gals" are about the sweetest nicest smartest kindest women around. And they both happen to have Alpha-Gal Syndrome. This means they both can't have mammalian meat - like beef or pork - or animal by-products like dairy or gelatin. Heck, they can't even have red algae (not because it's a meat, but you'll have to listen to the episode to find out why). We met the two gals at the FAACT Summit and we got to know them a little better and asked them about their new foundation, and what it's really like to live with AGS! 

"We’re using our journey with alpha-gal syndrome to seek new and exciting ways to live with our diagnosis without sacrificing JOY. " - Two Alpha Gals
