  • Gluten Ataxia - What You Need to Know About This Neurological Condition Ep. 215
    Jul 8 2025

    If you’ve been dealing with slurred speech, balance problems, hand tremors, or other strange neurological symptoms and have been told it’s just stress or anxiety, this episode is for you. We’re diving into gluten ataxia, a rare autoimmune condition triggered by gluten that affects the brain, not the gut.

    You’ll learn

    • What gluten ataxia is and how it’s different from typical celiac disease
    • The key symptoms (that often get brushed off or misdiagnosed)
    • What to ask your doctor for (including specific tests like TG6 antibodies)
    • What to expect in terms of recovery
    • How to support your healing if you’ve been affected

    This episode was inspired by a listener named Kelly, who has been dealing with this for years without clear answers.

  • Life After Diagnosis - How Celiac Disease Still Affects Your Body Ep. 214
    Jul 8 2025

    So much of the celiac disease conversation focuses on getting diagnosed and avoiding gluten. But what about everything that comes after?

    In this episode, I open up about the long-term effects of celiac disease and why going gluten free isn’t always the magic fix. From food anxiety and stress, to unexpected weight changes, depression, social isolation, and poor food choices - I'm chatting about what life really looks like after a diagnosis.

    You’ll also learn:

    • Why lactose intolerance often shows up post-diagnosis
    • What can happen if you rely too heavily on packaged gluten free foods
    • How anxiety and stress affect your health (and what to do about it)
    • Why quality of life matters just as much as your diet

    If you’re still not feeling great despite following the rules, this one’s for you.

  • 9 Surprising Skin Issues That May Be Caused by Celiac Disease Ep. 213
    Jun 23 2025

    Could your skin be reacting to something deeper?

    If you’ve been dealing with stubborn skin issues and nothing seems to work long-term, it might be time to look beyond the surface. In this episode, I’m diving into 9 skin conditions that are commonly linked to celiac disease—and how going gluten free can sometimes be the missing piece of the puzzle.

    From the intense itching of dermatitis herpetiformis to skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis, we’ll chat about how these issues can be signs that your body is reacting to more than just a cream can fix. I even share a personal story about my brother, whose psoriasis only cleared up once he removed gluten from his diet after a celiac diagnosis.

    We’ll also cover some lesser-known links like alopecia, dry skin, mouth ulcers, and even acne because the skin-gut connection is real. If you’re newly diagnosed or just wondering whether gluten could be affecting your skin, this episode will give you some clarity, a few “ah-ha” moments, and hopefully a bit of relief too.

  • Why Your Gluten Free Diet Isn't Fixing Your Hormonal Imbalances Ep. 210
    Jun 2 2025

    Even after going gluten free, many women with celiac disease still struggle with hormone imbalances, painful periods, PMS, thyroid issues, or fertility challenges. In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly why that happens—and what you can start doing about it.

    I’ll explain how celiac disease impacts your gut and how that affects your hormones. We’re talking low estrogen, estrogen dominance, cortisol, insulin resistance, and how perimenopause can complicate it all. I’m also sharing my personal story of being put on the wrong HRT for five months—and what finally helped me feel balanced again.

  • If I Could Start Over with Celiac Disease… Here’s What I’d Do Ep. 209
    May 26 2025

    If you’re newly diagnosed with celiac disease - or it’s been a while and you still don’t feel great—this episode is for you.

    I'm sharing the honest truth about what I wish I’d known back in 2009 when I was first diagnosed. From the emotional rollercoaster to the lack of support (hello, useless handouts), there are so many things I would do differently if I had my time again.

    Tune in for the steps I should have taken, what I learned the hard way, and how you can avoid those mistakes. We cover:

    • What to focus on first after a diagnosis
    • Why “just go gluten free” isn’t enough
    • The real importance of label reading, cross contact, and gut support
    • And how to get proper help (from someone who actually gets it)

    Plus, The Healthy Celiac Collective is officially open! If you’re ready to feel great again and want real-time support from someone who’s lived it—you know where to find me.
