077: "I felt like I couldn't survive much longer": Jan

Jan Steele found out that she's celiac early on in life. The transition to a gluten free diet was done by her mother because Jan was a child. Because she grew up with celiac disease, and because of the immediate physical reaction she had whenever she did eat gluten, her gluten-free habits became second nature.When pregnancy and the exhaustion of having small children made her auto-immune issues flare up again, Jan became motivated to look after herself as a mother so that she could be there for her children.She started with the GAPS diet (Gut and Psychology Syndrome), and the fog started to lift. As she started to feel better, she felt more motivated. She focused on real, whole foods. De facto, she also eliminated sugar.Everything started to get better, especially less inflammation. Listen to the inspiring story of how Jan educated herself and turned her health around. Today, as a Nutritional therapy Consultant, Jan helps people learn to harness the power of real food, to feel better.  Jan's B&B is in the beautiful Cévenne mountains, near Montpellier (France). She hosts people for holidays, allowing them to discover this beautiful region while, at the same time, ensuring that their food restrictions and sensitivities are respected to a T.
