There’s a new buzz in the world of celiac research. Scientists at UC Davis in California are working on gene-editing wheat to remove the parts that trigger an autoimmune response in those of us with celiac disease.

It’s being called “gluten free wheat,” and while that sounds like a dream come true, it’s not that simple.

In this episode, I explain what this research is really about, what it could mean for people with celiac disease, and why this new wheat would still cause problems for anyone with a wheat allergy. We’ll look at both sides — the potential benefits and the reasons to be cautious — so you can understand what’s really happening behind the headlines.

Tune in to learn whether this “gluten free wheat” is the future of gluten free living or just an interesting experiment for now.

Leaky gut is a term that gets thrown around a lot - but what does it really mean, and how does it tie into celiac disease? In this episode, I break down leaky gut in simple terms so you can finally understand what’s happening inside your body. You’ll learn:

· What leaky gut actually is (without the science jargon)

· Why people with celiac disease are more prone to it

· The everyday triggers that make it worse

· The symptoms to watch for, from bloating and fatigue to rashes and food sensitivities

· Simple steps you can take to start repairing your gut

I’ll also share why focusing on gut healing is one of the most important things you can do after a celiac disease diagnosis.

Eating gluten free is only part of the puzzle when it comes to healing with celiac disease. If your gut isn’t absorbing nutrients properly, you’ll still deal with fatigue, brain fog, hair loss, brittle nails, and ongoing digestive issues - even if you’re strictly gluten free.

In this episode, I’ll break down:

• Why nutrient absorption is a challenge for people with celiac disease
• The most common deficiencies (iron, B12, folate, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, zinc)
• How to spot the signs your body isn’t absorbing what it needs
• Smart supplement and food pairing examples for better absorption
• Lifestyle habits that make a difference for digestion and gut healing

You’ll leave with simple, practical steps to check your levels, support absorption, and feel more energized and resilient living gluten free.
