Navigating the holidays can be tricky — and if you or someone you love is gluten-free, it can feel downright overwhelming. From family dinners and cookie swaps to travel days and potlucks, gluten seems to pop up everywhere.
In this episode, Allison shares her personal system for staying gluten-free through the holiday season without missing out on the fun or driving yourself crazy. Drawing from her own experience living with Hashimoto's and managing gluten sensitivity, she offers simple, realistic strategies to help you feel prepared, confident, and at ease — no matter what's on the menu.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to travel stress-free with simple "rescue snacks" and planning tips
How to communicate with family and hosts about being gluten-free (without feeling guilty or apologetic)
Why it helps to eat something beforehand when you're unsure what food will be served
Easy ways to recreate your favorite holiday dishes with gluten-free swaps
What to do if gluten sneaks in — and how Allison manages accidental exposure
A mindset shift that makes navigating food restrictions feel lighter and more empowering
