Going Gluten Free while Having a Life
Gluten could be holding your health hostage in ways you may not consider. Bread and other gluten-containing foods (yes, even "healthy" ones like wheat bread) can stall fat loss and trigger or exacerbate numerous symptoms like headache and fatigue. In this podcast, I'll provide easy swaps - what I call lateral shifts - to ditch gluten without deprivation. I'll also show you how to challenge gluten to see whether you can occasionally handle it. When many clients pull gluten for as little as 3 weeks, they feel a "new normal" and those last few pounds finally disappear. Are you up for the challenge? Learn more about your ad choices.
