| How Coeliac Disease Inspired Wholegreen Bakery with Founder Cherie Lyden | 12 Jun 2022 | 00:37:58 | |
A Gluten Free Podcast On today’s episode, I chat with Cherie Lyden, owner of the award-winning Wholegreen Bakery. We’ll talk about her background as a nutritionist, her and her daughter’s coeliac disease diagnoses, and how this life-changing moment led her to launch one of Australia’s top 100% gluten-free bakeries. After being diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2014, Cherie struggled to find gluten-free food that wasn’t full of sugar, additives, or artificial ingredients. Frustrated by the lack of nutritious, great-tasting options, she took matters into her own hands. Combining her love of food with her expertise in nutrition, she began creating gluten-free recipes from scratch—focusing on flavour, health, and quality ingredients. What started as a personal mission quickly grew into Wholegreen Bakery—a now iconic gluten-free bakery and café that has earned national recognition for its innovative and delicious gluten-free menu. Cherie’s approach centres on using fresh, seasonal produce, less sugar, no additives, and 100% gluten-free ingredients—without ever compromising on taste. Whether you’re newly diagnosed with coeliac disease, living gluten-free for health reasons, or simply seeking better gluten-free options, this conversation will inspire you. Hear Cherie’s entrepreneurial journey, how she balances coeliac life with family, and her vision for the future of gluten-free food in Australia. 🎧 In This Episode

A Gluten Free Podcast Welcome back to another episode of Snack & Screen — the podcast where movies meet munchies, all with a gluten-free twist!

| Ezequiel Peña, General Manager of Glutagen, Discusses the Gluten-Protection Supplement ‘GluteGuard’ | 20 Mar 2022 | 01:09:46 | |
A Gluten Free Podcast In this episode of A Gluten Free Podcast, I chat with Ezequiel Peña, General Manager of Glutagen, the company behind GluteGuard — a popular enzyme supplement designed to support people on a gluten free diet who want extra protection against accidental gluten exposure. We discuss Ezequiel’s background, the scientific studies behind GluteGuard, and how the product works to break down gluten peptides, helping reduce the symptoms and immune reactions caused by cross-contamination. What is GluteGuard? GluteGuard is an enzyme supplement aimed at those medically diagnosed with gluten-related disorders such as coeliac disease. It is not a replacement for a strict gluten free diet but can offer extra reassurance when dining out or travelling. How Does GluteGuard Work? According to Gluteguard, the product’s enteric coating ensures that the enzymes reach the small intestine, where they break down gluten proteins into harmless fragments. These fragments then pass through the digestive system without triggering symptoms or immune responses. Scientific Evidence and Clinical Studies GluteGuard has been extensively researched, starting with in-vitro studies and advancing to randomised placebo-controlled clinical trials. These studies demonstrate that GluteGuard is effective at protecting individuals with gluten-related disorders against symptoms caused by daily gluten challenges. Coeliac Australia’s Advice on GluteGuard While GluteGuard shows promise as a protective supplement, Coeliac Australia clearly states that it is not intended to treat or cure coeliac disease or any medical condition and should never replace a strict gluten free diet.

| Dietetics Meets Lived Experience – Penny Dellsperger on Coeliac Disease, Advocacy & Research | 30 Jan 2022 | 00:34:37 | |
A Gluten Free Podcast On this episode of A Gluten Free Podcast, I’m joined by Penny Dellsperger, an accredited dietitian, Health Advocacy Officer at Coeliac Australia, and someone who also lives with coeliac disease herself. Penny brings a rare dual perspective — both professional and personal — to the world of gluten-free living, patient support, and cutting-edge research. We dive into Penny’s own coeliac diagnosis and how it shaped her career path in nutrition and dietetics. As someone who not only educates and advocates for people with coeliac disease but also manages the condition herself, Penny offers incredibly insightful advice on navigating the gluten-free diet with confidence and evidence-based guidance. We also explore her role at Coeliac Australia, where she’s deeply involved in advocacy, public education, and national projects that aim to improve the health outcomes of people living with coeliac disease. Penny unpacks some of the major research projects she's contributed to, including the Gluten Threshold Study, the role of oats in the gluten-free diet, and challenges around coeliac disease diagnosis in Australia. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, supporting someone with coeliac disease, or working in healthcare, this episode offers clear, science-backed information from someone who truly “gets it” from both sides. In this episode, we discuss:

| Coeliac Through a Partner’s Eyes – A Candid Chat with My Wife, Bec | 23 Jan 2022 | 00:35:41 | |
A Gluten Free Podcast On this special episode of A Gluten Free Podcast, I sit down with someone very close to me — my wife, Bec. Living with coeliac disease doesn't just affect the person diagnosed; it impacts their partner, family, and the entire household. Today, we have a heartfelt and honest conversation about how my diagnosis changed our lives — from unexpected challenges to the positive shifts it created in our lifestyle, mindset, and relationship. Bec shares her unique perspective as the partner of someone with coeliac disease — what it was like during the lead-up to my diagnosis, how she adapted to gluten-free living, and how she’s supported me (even on the tough days). We discuss things like food prep, social settings, shared responsibilities, and how coeliac disease has deepened our connection in some unexpected ways. We also touch on the emotional toll coeliac can have on both partners, as well as the importance of support, communication, and humour. And stick around — there’s a surprise little guest who joins us later in the episode to bring some extra smiles! Whether you’re living with coeliac disease or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a personal and relatable look at what gluten-free life looks like behind the scenes. In this episode, we chat about:

| Turning Diagnosis into Awareness – Kylie Anderson on ‘Gluten Tootin’ and Her Family’s Coeliac Journey | 09 Jan 2022 | 00:36:30 | |
A Gluten Free Podcast We talk about the inspiration behind Gluten Tootin’, a fun and educational book designed to help kids (and adults) understand coeliac disease and the importance of a strict gluten-free diet. Kylie explains how storytelling can help children feel seen, supported, and less alone in their diagnosis. Beyond her book, Kylie and I dive into the broader topic of coeliac awareness — how much more education and support is still needed in schools, social settings, and the wider community for those living with coeliac disease. This episode is a powerful reminder of how creativity and advocacy can go hand in hand. Whether you're a parent of a child with coeliac disease, a teacher, or simply someone wanting to support the gluten-free community better, Kylie’s story will inspire you to raise awareness “one toot at a time.” In this episode, we chat about:
