We discuss the current science and what we have found from years of practice and outline the most important things that you need to know if you are trying to do this for yourself.

Nina is known far and wide for her wholesome and delicious recipes that she routinely shares with her fan base, but today I want to chat to Nina about Type 1 diabetes, a condition that she thrives with. See she not only has a serious passion for developing great nourishing recipes, but she is also deeply passionate about helping educate people about how to live and thrive with type 1 diabetes. 

We are going to deep dive into what Type 1 diabetes is, whether or not insulin is good or bad in the body, how to manage your insulin as a diabetic, we also discuss the roles of carbohydrates for exercise and why you shouldn’t pay much attention to low carb diets, and finish off with Nina's philosophy about how to best navigate the Nutrition space to find the diet that works best for you. 

Today I will be chatting to TFD Performance Dietitian Lauren Nash. Loz is our go-to when it comes to all things strength sports, endurance, medical nutrition, and many many other things and I could not think of a better person to do today's episode with. 

That is because today we will be talking about all things gluten and all things celiac disease, a condition that Loz lives and thrives with every day. 

In today's episode, we will be breaking down what celiac disease is, what it does in the body, what symptoms it presents, the tests that you use to diagnose it. We will also be clearing the air about gluten, what it really is, whether it is good or bad, what foods you can find it in, and whether it is something to be on your watch list or just another social media buzzword.
