In this episode of Gluten-Free Unwrapped, Jenny sits down with registered dietitian and celiac specialist Jessica Lebovits to discuss one of the most overlooked aspects of living gluten-free: micronutrient deficiencies.Jessica explains why people with celiac disease are so prone to deficiencies in nutrients like iron, vitamin D, calcium, folate, and B12 — and why those deficiencies can persist even after going gluten-free. She also shares practical advice on nutrient testing, supplementation, and how to build a more nutrient-dense gluten-free diet.Jessica also discusses the published micronutrient guidelines she co-authored for people with celiac disease and why they’re such an important tool for long-term healing and wellness.What You'll Learn:Why nutrient deficiencies are common in celiac diseaseHow to approach supplements without overdoing itThe importance of a “food-first” approach to healingConnect with Jessica LebovitsInstagram: @gfree_rd & @bellybestieclubLinkedIn: @Jessica LebovitsMicronutrient Considerations for Celiac Disease published in Practical Gastroenterology: Micronutrient Considerations for Celiac DiseaseConnect with Jenny Finke (host)Love Me Gluten Free on Instagram and FacebookJenny on Instagram and subscribe to her newsletter.Jenny on LinkedIn Order a Love Me Gluten Free subscription boxChapters00:00 – Why Nutrients Matter on a Gluten-Free Diet06:00 – The Most Common Deficiencies in Celiac Disease13:00 – What Nutrient Levels Celiacs Should Be Testing21:30 – Food First vs. Supplements: What Actually Helps?
