Episode 217: Going Beyond Gluten for Celiac Disease
When navigating healing from food sensitivities and food allergies, the first action step is to remove the trigger. In the case of Celiac disease, that trigger is gluten and gluten-containing grains. However, while removing gluten from the diet is a crucial first step, it doesn’t necessarily heal intestinal permeability, reduce gut inflammation, restore a damaged gut lining, and stop the autoimmune response. Today on the show Lori Fish Bard, MS, CNS, LDN sits down with Erin to explain why this is the case.

Today Erin welcomes back to the show Toréa Rodriguez, FDN-P to discuss not just mold, lyme, and chronic illness, but also how to navigate symptoms, testing, and communicating your illness to friends and family (especially if they don’t understand).

In this episode, Erin sits down with Victoria Albina to discuss how traumatic experiences have a downstream effect on our bodily systems, why this occurs and what you can do to come down from this heightened state and heal.
Episode 125: Thyroid Health, Gluten & Hashimoto’s
I talk a lot about functional lab testing and supplementation, but don’t underestimate the power of food!

I break down underlying stressors related to hypothyroidism, the link between gluten and Hashimoto’s and how taking a food-first approach with your health can make a big impact on your life.
