Why I went gluten-free...

My Interview on Gluten-Freeway

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by my dear fellow-health nut and gluten-free baker extraordinaire friend Lauren Marts on her YouTube show Gluten-Freeway (interviews take place whilst driving). We delved into GMO dangers, healing the gut, our most missed gluten containing foods and more. Tons o' fun! Lauren is the best.

Check out our interview and Ms. Marts's amazing gluten-free goodies on her site Baked True North.
