History

Established in 2009.

I helped so many people to go gluten free, and I am so passionate about this healthier lifestyle, that I decided to go into this much needed business to help steer local Chicagoans in the right direction. I enjoy seeing others get so excited and then improve right before my eyes!

Meet the Business Owner

Denise S.

Business Owner

I am not a nutritionist but a dental hygienist educated in nutrition, and I myself have celiac disease (gluten intolerance). I was misdiagnosed by several doctors and specialists, and had previously thought I suffered from many different health problems when in fact I simply just could not digest wheat, a grain that is commonly difficult for most to break down. I have done countless hours of research on gluten and can offer help in decoding the sometimes confusing gluten free lifestyle. I do not sell any products, just offer my service in sharing my knowledge to make this dietary lifestyle easier to understand and follow. 1 in 33 are gluten intolerant but many are not aware since most doctors are not actively screening for it. My clients choose from various services based on what suits their needs and lifestyles best, some meet with me once while others prefer continuous meetings.
