Why Gluten-Free PhD Exists

Gluten-Free PhD was created out of lived experience β€” as a parent, an educator, and someone navigating health decisions that too often come with confusion, fear, or shame.

When my daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease at a young age, it became clear that gluten-free living is not just about food labels. It affects family systems, school environments, emotional well-being, and long-term health outcomes.

This platform exists to translate research into practical guidance β€” without alarmism, guilt, or trends. The goal is clarity, sustainability, and trust.

The foundational book behind this work

What You’ll Find Here

Gluten-Free PhD focuses on:

β€’ Evidence-based explanations of gluten-free living
β€’ Family-centered strategies for managing celiac disease
β€’ Practical tools for daily decision-making
β€’ Connections between nutrition, resilience, and long-term health

This is not a replacement for medical care. It is a bridge between science and real life.

The Framework Behind the Work

The approach used across this site is grounded in a broader health framework developed through years of research, education, and clinical collaboration.

That framework is outlined in You’re Not Broken, which focuses on helping people understand their bodies without fear or blame β€” a philosophy that directly informs how gluten-free living is approached here.

While the book focuses on perimenopause, the underlying framework applies broadly to digestion, nutrition, and long-term health β€” including gluten-free living
