Have you ever said (or heard),
“I tried going gluten-free—I just cut carbs—and it didn’t work.”?
This is one of the most common and harmful misunderstandings in the gluten-free world.
In this episode, I’m joined by Anna Tseng to share our 4th episode of the Debunking Gluten-free Myths Series.
Anna is a plant-based Registered Dietitian, a Transition Coach, and the Founder of PlantNourished. She’s also a recipe creator, speaker, and host of the top 1% ranking Plant Based Eating Made Easy Podcast. Anna empowers people with key skills, practical strategies, and simple-to-make plant-based recipes, so they can enjoy a health-transforming plant-powered lifestyle…without long hours in the kitchen.
Together, we will break down why cutting carbs is not the same as removing gluten, and how this confusion leaves so many women feeling worse instead of better.
What You’ll Learn
- Why gluten-free and low-carb are completely different
- What carbohydrates actually are (and why your body needs them)
- The difference between simple vs. complex carbs
- Why cutting carbs can leave you feeling exhausted and under-fueled
- Hidden sources of gluten you may still be eating
- Why many women incorrectly assume “gluten isn’t the problem”
- How to build a nourishing gluten-free plate without restriction
If gluten-free “didn’t work” for you before… this episode might completely change your perspective.
