Ep 54 - Gluten, Grains, and the Great Bread Debate: What You Need to Know

In this episode of Nutrition for Noobs, Michelle and Kevin dig deeper into the world of grains to uncover the truth about gluten: what it is, which grains contain it, and whether you really need to avoid it. From wheat, barley, and rye to pseudo-grains like quinoa and buckwheat, Michelle explains how gluten functions as a protein and why celiac disease, gluten intolerance, and general sensitivity are very different things.

They also share affordable, plant-forward meal ideas and debate the deliciousness of sourdough bread (spoiler: it might be friendlier for some gluten-sensitive folks!). Plus, a flurry of food puns and dad jokes make this episode equal parts fun and informative.
