How Macronutrients Support a Celiac's Gluten Free Diet - Part 2

This weeks episode we’re diving into protein – why it matters, how much you need, and how to easily get more of it into your gluten free lifestyle. If you’ve ever wondered whether you're eating enough protein (especially as a woman with celiac disease), this episode will help you understand just how important it is for your overall health. Protein supports so much more than just muscles – it plays a huge role in hormone balance, your immune system, healthy hair and nails, strong bones, and keeping your energy levels stable throughout the day.

You’ll learn why protein is essential at every age and stage of life, whether you’re going through menopause, trying to get pregnant, building strength at the gym, or just want to feel better day-to-day.

I also touch on what can happen when you don’t eat enough protein – like brittle nails, hair breakage, fluid retention, and muscle loss – and why that often gets overlooked in gluten free diets. I’ll be sharing tips on how to make it simple, practical, and realistic, even if you’re not a fan of calorie counting or meal tracking. You’ll also hear about plant-based options, how to sneak more protein into your snacks, and why I love using my fingernails as a little “health status check.”

This is part two in our macronutrient mini-series, so if you missed last week’s episode on carbohydrates, be sure to go back and listen to that first. And don’t miss next week’s episode on healthy fats – we’ll be busting some big myths and showing you why fat is definitely not the enemy.
