Are gluten-free diets the panacea they are claimed to be? Listen in Elikqiti and I explore the importance of living gluten-free the right way.
Imagine waking up every day with inexplicable joint pain and discovering that it's a symptom of Celiac disease. That's what happened to our guest, Elikqitie, who embarked on a fascinating personal journey that led her to functional medicine and a gluten-free lifestyle. Together, we'll share her experiences and discuss the critical role of personalized care, lab tests, and blood work in managing autoimmune diseases. You'll hear how she manages her symptoms, the struggles she faces, and how her health coach is aiding her in finding relief.
We emphasize that gluten-free does not inherently mean healthier and touch upon the potential nutrient deficiencies that can arise if such a diet is not properly planned. From the trials of avoiding cross-contamination to the nuances of dietary planning, we cover it all.
