Saying Goodbye to Gluten / Gluten-Free Living, Celiac Disease, Gluten-Free Support

Are you staying quiet about your gluten-free needs… even when you know you probably shouldn’t?   Do you find yourself avoiding asking questions so you don’t feel like a burden?   Do you ever downplay Celiac Disease so you don’t make others uncomfortable?   Keeping quiet can actually cost you more than you think!   The truth is that staying silent doesn’t keep the peace . . . it often leads to getting sick, feeling anxious, and struggling more than you need to.   This is why it is so important to advocate for your GF needs, which is exactly what we are talking about in today’s podcast episode.   When I first went gluten-free, I found it quite hard. It took me a bit to gain the courage and confidence to advocate for staying safe and healthy.    You may be feeling this as well, which is why it’s so important to discuss.   When we don’t speak up, we don’t get what we need!   🎧 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: The real reasons you’re not speaking up about your gluten-free needs How being “easygoing” can actually put your health at risk What happens when you start advocating for yourself (this is powerful) Why advocating builds confidence, safety, and trust in your daily life How your actions influence how others respect your celiac disease   We are managing a medical necessity, trying to stay safe and healthy all day long to protect our future.      What has been holding you back? What can you do about that now?   Also Mentioned in the Episode: **🎁 Grab your ticket to the Gluten-Free Resource Toolkit (May 16–22) For FREE expert resources to help you build, strengthen, and expand your gluten-free life.

Do you get frustrated when people don’t understand why you need to be gluten-free?   While gluten-free living has become more visible than ever, the truth is… celiac disease is still deeply misunderstood.   As May is Celiac Awareness Month, I wanted to share some top facts that people still don't understand about Celiac Disease.   In this episode, I’ll unpack common misconceptions people have about celiac disease and what you really need to know to stay safe and thrive.   Maybe you’ve been questioned at a restaurant… Or, someone has said, “just a little won’t hurt, just take a bite”… Maybe you’ve even questioned yourself in this journey.   If you’ve ever felt frustrated or just plain exhausted trying to explain your needs, this episode is for you. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why celiac disease is not just an allergy—it’s an autoimmune condition The truth about “just eating gluten-free” (and why it’s not that simple) Why even a crumb of gluten can cause harm The hidden risks of cross-contamination at home and in restaurants Why a “cheat day” isn’t an option The surprising symptoms of celiac disease Why you may not feel symptoms—but damage is still happening The long-term impact of unmanaged celiac disease (nutrient deficiencies, bone loss, and more) Why celiac disease is lifelong and requires a sustainable lifestyle approach The connection between celiac disease and other autoimmune conditions   If you’re living gluten-free, this will help you feel supported and empowered to protect your health with confidence.   And … this isn’t just about awareness.   This is about helping you build a gluten-free life that actually works.   As you listen, think about who you can share this episode with so that we can continue to spread awareness all month long and beyond!   Also Mentioned in the Episode: **🎁 Grab your ticket to the Gluten-Free Resource Toolkit (May 16–22) For FREE expert resources to help you build, strengthen, and expand your gluten-free life.

Do you believe that going gluten-free is easy now?   The truth is that gluten-free products are everywhere, from grocery store aisles to restaurant menus to social media. It looks like going gluten-free should be simple.    Yet once women start this journey on their own, they are still feeling overwhelmed, confused, and continue to get sick.   In this episode of Saying Goodbye to Gluten, we’re breaking down another common myth in the gluten-free world: “Gluten-free is so easy now—I don’t need help.”   The truth?   Gluten-free has become more visible… but not more understood.   And that gap is exactly why so many women struggle.  In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why gluten-free appears easier today—but isn’t necessarily safer The hidden dangers of cross-contamination at home and in restaurants Why gluten-free products don’t automatically mean a healthy lifestyle The mental load of living gluten-free (and why it feels so overwhelming) What’s actually missing when you try to “figure it out on your own” How to shift from reactive gluten-free living → confident, sustainable routines I can honestly say, from personal experience, that going gluten-free on your own is not an easy path to take!    But, we can create an easier gluten-free life moving forward.   If you’re not there yet, possibly it’s because: You haven’t been taught the systems You’re trying to piece everything together alone You’re relying on products instead of building a lifestyle   What looks easy on the outside is usually supported by systems you just don’t see.   Once we set the foundation and boundaries we need, we can start living an easier gluten-free life.   Join Jennifer in this third episode of the Debunking Gluten-Free Myths Series to learn why it’s not as easy as it looks and what you can do about it starting today.   Continue to grow your gluten-free lifestyle: **Grab the GF Starter Guide to discover the 5 most important steps to successfully implement a gluten-free life that works for you.

It’s about understanding how to protect your health through awareness, habits, and smarter choices.   Let’s talk about why and what you actually need to know to protect your health and build a gluten-free life that truly feels good.   If you feel overwhelmed at the grocery store, unsure what to trust, or frustrated by reactions you can’t explain, this episode will give you clarity and confidence.   Also Mentioned: Episode #68 - Overcoming the Fear of Eating Out Gluten-Free   Continue to grow your gluten-free lifestyle: ***Enter the 100th Celebration Giveaway: Write a review of the podcast.

Do you believe that gluten-free is just a diet?   Could it be another trend… or is it something much more serious?   This podcast episode is the first of my Debunking Gluten-Free Myths Series, where we’re breaking down some of the most common (and harmful) misconceptions.   Today, we’re breaking down the belief that gluten-free is “just a diet.”   If you’re living with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, you already know this isn’t about choice or willpower. It’s about protecting your health every single day. Listen to learn: Why gluten-free is not a choice, but a medical necessity The critical difference between a “diet” and a gluten-free lifestyle Why “cheating” when gluten-free has real consequences How the “trend” narrative puts your health at risk The hidden emotional weight of living gluten-free Why systems and habits are the key to long-term success   If you’ve ever felt misunderstood or frustrated when others don’t take your gluten-free needs seriously, this episode will help you feel seen and empowered.   Living gluten-free isn’t about restriction . . . it’s really about protection.   Gluten-free isn’t a trend, a phase, or a choice for many people.   A diet you can quit. Gluten-free, you can’t.   It’s a lifelong commitment to protecting your health.    When you stop treating gluten-free like a temporary diet and start building it as a lifestyle, everything changes.  You gain confidence, reduce overwhelm, and finally feel safe in your day-to-day life.   After listening to this episode, make sure you hit that follow button so you don’t miss the rest of the Debunking Gluten-Free Myths Series!

Does your gluten-free life support your health, energy, and your day?   Living gluten-free isn’t just about avoiding gluten — it’s about building habits that help you feel energized, supported, and confident in your daily life.   In Part 2 of the Building Your Gluten-Free Life, One Habit at a Time Series, we’re diving into the power of small eating habits and how the way you build your plate can shift everything — your mindset, your energy, and your confidence.   If you are stuck in a deprivation mindset, tired of overthinking every food choice, are ready for more energy, better digestion, and confidence around food, and crave simple systems that actually work in real life, then hit PLAY and listen to this episode! As you build your plate with intention, you begin to see how many options you truly have.    Food stops feeling restrictive, energy starts returning, and confidence grows — not because you’re doing more, but because you’re doing things differently.   These habits don’t live in isolation — they work together as part of a system.   When you shift your mindset, you say goodbye to deprivation. When you expand your options, you say hello to new food options, recipes, and safe restaurants. When you build a balanced plate, you create satisfying and delicious meals. When you focus on addition instead of deprivation,  you say hello to healthy options. You create clarity, safety, and confidence — the foundation of a sustainable gluten-free life.   If this episode resonated and you’re ready to put these habits into action, I’d love to invite you to continue the conversation with me inside the GF Secrets Challenge right here: https://bit.ly/GFSecretsChallengeLive   Check out these other episodes that also relate to building your GF plate: Episode 4: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e4-saying-goodbye-to-gluten-now-whats-left-to-eat/id1774748379?i=1000674846503 Episode 19: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e19-the-importance-of-changing-your-plate-to-change/id1774748379?i=1000680956172 Episode 37: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e37-reading-labels-for-your-gluten-free-health/id1774748379?i=1000697617962   Continue to grow your gluten-free lifestyle: ***The Gluten-Free Secrets Challenge is back - LIVE, starting March 2nd!

How do you feel about being gluten-free at the holidays?   There’s a good chance the holidays feel… complicated.   Maybe you love the season — the lights, the music, the traditions — but there’s also this quiet, heavy layer underneath it all.   When you’re gluten-free, the holidays aren’t just about celebration.   They’re about strategy, caution, and constantly scanning the room and wondering, ‘Is that safe for me?’  And that can get exhausting, right?   Maybe you’re grieving traditions you used to love — the family recipe you can’t have anymore, the special holiday treats you grew up with, or the ease of just showing up and eating what everyone else is eating.   Or, maybe you’ve already started worrying about how you’ll explain why you brought your own food again or whether someone will roll their eyes when you ask what’s in the gravy.   If this feels familiar, you need to know something . . .   You’re not dramatic. You’re not difficult. And this isn’t uncommon!   There is an emotional load that comes with being gluten-free — especially during the holidays — and most people don’t see it. But you feel it in your body, your mind, and your heart. I KNOW because I sure did - and sometimes still do!   Today, we’re going to talk about the emotions you may be experiencing and how you can lighten up — without apologizing for your needs, and without sacrificing joy this season.   So take a deep breath. You don’t have to carry all of this by yourself.   Let’s talk about it!   Continue to grow your gluten-free lifestyle: **Join the GF Growth Membership to gain clarity and confidence for the gluten-free life you need. Follow a proven framework with monthly support and accountability to create your sustainable and delicious GF lifestyle.

Have you ever wondered if a Gluten Detection Service Dog could help improve your gluten-free lifestyle?   I am fascinated by this concept and had a lot of questions on how the whole process works.   Today, my guest, Kendra Williams, is going to educate us on all aspects of gluten detection dog work and how her own dog, Suki, has changed her GF life for the better.   Kendra is a Celiac Disease Educator & Advocate and Gluten Detection Dog Handler. She trained her dog, Suki, through Willow Service Dogs under Dawn Scheu. As a blogger and social media content creator, Kendra discovered the hunger for more.  Unfortunately, Kendra often hears tragic stories from people who tried to train a dog either on their own or through a trainer, and ended up with a sad story of a dog that was completely untrained.     Professionally, she designs education and training programs for corporations. She took this knowledge and developed resources to answer the questions she had prior to training a gluten-detection dog.  She also wanted to help others not make the same mistakes she made on her journey.   Kendra also partnered with her good friend and fellow service dog trainer, Kari Bastyr, to design a series of courses to educate potential handlers on what they need to know prior to making the full commitment of training a service dog.   In our conversation today, Kendra helps us understand: ✅ how a Celiac Service Dog discovers gluten to keep you safe and healthy ✅ the benefits of having a gluten-detection dog ✅ Finding the right dog for the job ✅ training your dog, along with the cost and timeline ✅ And, steps to get started   Listen in to discover if a gluten-detection dog would be a good fit for you!   Connect with Kendra on her website: https://www.celiacservicedogs.com/   Or here on Instagram: [email protected]   Check out Celiac Service Dogs for more information about training a gluten detection service dog:  https://www.celiacservicedogs.com/   Continue to grow your gluten-free lifestyle: **Join the GF Resource Toolkit (May 2025) to unlock your best GF life with fabulous FREE GIFTS full of tips, strategies, and steps to help you create the GF life you need.

Traveling with Celiac Disease can be scary and may even feel impossible if you have just started living a gluten-free lifestyle.   In this inspiring episode, I sit down with a world traveler and fellow gluten-free warrior who shares how she explored the globe with her family—while navigating the challenges of Celiac Disease. From Italy to Japan, she opens up about the highs and hurdles of international travel on a gluten-free diet.   Courtney Radmall is passionate about helping others navigate gluten-free travel with confidence. She was diagnosed with Celiac Disease about 10 years ago. At first, traveling felt overwhelming—packing her own food, researching endlessly, and worrying about finding safe places to eat. But over time, she learned how to prepare, advocate for her needs, and still enjoy incredible experiences with her family.   Recently, they took a round-the-world trip, which came with its challenges, but it showed Courtney that gluten-free travel is not only possible—it can be amazing.    Courtney’s goal is to make travel less stressful and more enjoyable for others with dietary restrictions, so they don’t have to miss out on unforgettable experiences.
