Christy answers an audience question about whether most people really need to go gluten-free—and how to tell when cutting out gluten is actually a disordered-eating behavior. When diet and wellness culture are constantly pushing gluten-free diets for one reason or another, most people have probably considered cutting out gluten at some point. In this episode we’ll discuss why it’s not likely to help, and may actually cause harm.
