The Gluten-Free Treasure Hunt: Molly McMillan's Story

When Molly McMillan was diagnosed with food allergies and potential celiac disease as an 18-year-old Division I athlete, she had no idea that journey would eventually lead her to become a registered dietitian, gluten-free advocate, and world traveler. In this episode, Channon and Molly talk about learning to advocate for yourself, navigating college and athletics with dietary restrictions, finding safe food while traveling, and overcoming the feeling that life has suddenly become smaller after diagnosis. Along the way, Molly shares lessons she's learned from years of helping others navigate food restrictions and explains why she sees the gluten-free journey as one giant treasure hunt. Filled with practical tips, honest moments, and plenty of encouragement, this conversation is a reminder that a diagnosis can be the beginning of something bigger than you ever expected.
