Gluten Free Unwrapped – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode of Gluten Free Unwrapped, Jenny Finke speaks with Suzie Carpenter, the founder of Savor by Suzie. While Savor by Suzie is now famous for its irresistibly crunchy, gluten- and grain-free pretzels, Suzie’s path here was anything but simple.

In 2000, when her daughter Kelly was diagnosed with autism, celiac disease, and more than twenty-five food intolerances, Suzie and her daughter faced a world of limited food options. Suzie channeled her family’s love of pretzels to create the world’s first grain-free pretzel. Not only that, Suzie has been on a mission to provide meaningful employment opportunities for neurodiverse individuals.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How Suzie got into the pretzel business – hint, it’s a family affair.
• What she was doing before the inception of Savor by Suzie and how it relates to her business today.
• What led her down the path to creating the world’s first grain-free pretzel?
• How her daughter’s autism diagnosis challenged-yet-inspired their family.
• Suzie’s commitment to employing neurodiverse employees.

In this episode, talk with Trish Thomas, the co-founder of Every Body Eat, a snack brand built on the belief that everyone deserves to feel included at the table, no matter their dietary restrictions.

Trish’s journey began after a personal health transformation—dealing with weight gain, hair loss, and extreme fatigue following her first pregnancy. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and, after eliminating gluten, dairy, and corn, experienced a complete turnaround in her health.

That transformation led to the creation of Every Body Eat, a brand that’s reshaping the snack aisle with allergen-free, clean, and delicious options. Trish shares her philosophy of "ingredients we left out on purpose" and discusses how Every Body Eat stands out in the crowded gluten-free market.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Trish’s health journey and the inspiration behind Every Body Eat.
• The importance of transparency, and why Every Body Eat puts its ingredient list on the front of its packaging.
• Insights into why many small food brands fail and how Trish is combating the stigma.
• How she balances being a mom and an entrepreneur.
• A sneak peek at an exciting new product launching soon—shhh!

Every Body Eat’s product line, including crunchy crackers and sweet cookie bites, is certified gluten-free, vegan, and free from the top 14 allergens. Trish’s story proves that when you create food that’s safe, clean, and delicious, you can bring everybody together—one bite at a time.

When Karissa Francis couldn’t find safe snacks to meet her family’s dietary needs, she did what so many of us only dream of — she rolled up her sleeves and started baking her own. With the help of her husband, Josh — who brought years of baking industry experience to the table — the couple set out to create treats their whole family could safely enjoy.

In this episode of Gluten Free Unwrapped, you’ll:

• Hear how Karissa and her husband, Josh, founded Jack’s Allergen Friendly Bakery in 2015 to create treats Josh could safely enjoy after developing a gluten intolerance — and how their daughter’s health struggles made the need for safe, delicious food even more urgent.
• Learn how they started with cookies (their Chocolate Chip is still the #1 bestseller!) and are now expanding into cinnamon rolls, breadsticks, and dinner rolls — with shelf-stable cinnamon rolls hitting Sprouts this fall.
• Discover why being top 14 allergen-free is central to their mission, how they started with paleo-friendly recipes, and what it means that five of their cookies are AIP-compliant.
• Get a behind-the-scenes look at their early days — from Karissa perfecting a shelf-stable cookie over a year of trial and error to Josh leaving a frustrating career path and rediscovering his purpose through baking.
• Uncover the meaning behind the name “Jack’s” — an acronym made from their family’s initials — and why everything they do is rooted in love, family, and helping others eat safely.

Karissa’s story is more than just a gluten-free bakery making allergen-friendly treats — it’s a story of family, resilience, and baking with purpose.

When Jason Elmore got his celiac diagnosis, he faced the same crushing realization so many of us in the celiac community know all too well: dining out had become incredibly complicated and scary. But instead of resigning himself to a life of packed lunches and sad salads, Jason did something extraordinary—he built the solution we all desperately needed: Find Me Gluten Free.

What began as Jason's personal quest to eat at restaurants safely in 2010 has blossomed into the app that's become the gluten-free community’s collective lifeline, helping millions of us discover safe restaurants, bakeries, and travel spots around the globe.

Jason's story is one of turning personal struggle into community triumph, and I absolutely loved our conversation. In this episode, he opens up about:

• The deeply personal story behind Find Me Gluten Free and how his own diagnosis sparked a mission to help all of us
• The incredible (and sometimes lonely) journey of building and scaling an app from his kitchen table as a solo entrepreneur
• How the app has grown and evolved over the years, plus the unexpected challenges Jason faced along the way
• Jason's favorite spots to eat—and yes, he uses Find Me Gluten Free when he travels!

This conversation reminded me why I love this community so much. Jason saw a problem we all shared and refused to accept that it was just "how things are." His dedication has made dining out joyful again for so many of us. Tune in to hear his story.

In this episode, you'll meet Alex Murphy, the CEO behind BFree—the gluten-free bread brand that's actually changing how we think about gluten-free carbs. And trust me, that's no small feat.

Alex has been with BFree since day one, and she's turned it into one of the fastest-growing gluten-free brands in the world. But here's what makes her different: she's obsessed with making gluten-free bread that doesn't just work—it's bread you actually want to eat.

We dive into BFree's mission to completely reinvent what gluten-free bread can be, the crazy amount of R&D that goes into each product, and how they've managed to thrive while so many other brands struggle to get it right.

Alex also gets refreshingly real about the ups and downs of leading a company, plus she spills the tea on why Ireland might just be the ultimate gluten-free foodie destination.

Here's what you'll discover:

• The "bread in a can" moment that changed everything—Alex's childhood friend with celiac had to eat bread from a literal can, and that memory became her "never again" motivation
• Flatbread domination: They've built the biggest gluten-free flatbread line on the market—seriously, have you tried those Sweet Potato Wraps yet?
• The mystery of the holes: Ever wonder why gluten-free bread sometimes looks like Swiss cheese? Alex explains what's really happening and how they're fixing it
• Real talk about growth: The biggest challenges Alex has faced building BFree, and why staying wheat-free isn't negotiable
