In todays episode we discuss my own health struggles over the past year specifically but really my whole life, looking back.
After visit after visit to a plethora of different doctors, I finally found out that I have Celiac disease.
What is Celiac disease? According to celiac.org it's defined as, "a serious autoimmune disease that occurs in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. It is estimated to affect 1 in 100 people worldwide, but only about 30% are properly diagnosed."
I brought my sister Shantel with @rhythmic_healing on due to her vast knowledge in nutrition. We talk about what I can eat, what I can't, what to look for if you feel you or someone you love is suffering from Celiac, and honestly just health awareness in general.
We offer tips and what I have learned so far in this new journey! Health journeys can be hard, but my hope is to educate myself in looking at food as medicine and finally start taking care of myself! I hope that it encourages you to do the same.
If you have any questions feel free to reach out!
Love you all!
