🤔 Is gluten really as harmful as some claim? As a Registered Dietitian, I’m here to clarify those myths and help you navigate your relationship with gluten!

With gluten being demonized online and every health coach suggesting you cut it from your diet, do their claims really have any proof? Will gluten increase disease risks? Is eating gluten giving you brain fog? And what if you switch to gluten-free foods? Are they really any better?

In this episode, I break down some common claims I see repeatedly and share my opinions on whether they are true or not, with some backed-up studies.
