Happy Friday Mama,

Have you ever wondered why so many people are now "sensitive" (not celiac) to gluten? Is it really the gluten, just the gluten or could it also be something else?

The little bumps on our (me and my daughter) arms and upper shoulders would come and go. The gut issues, the autoimmune issues. At first, I thought: Welp, gluten sensitivity. Time to cut it out. But something didn’t sit right. So on my health journey I dug deeper (as us mamas tend to do when our gut says, “This isn’t the whole story”). No answers from our doctors until we switched to a more holistic, root based pediatrician. Thankful for the switch of their thought process and lens of health for my girls.

What I found out? Honestly—it made me sick to my stomach.

It wasn’t always just the gluten. From research and connecting with others in this field we learned we were also reacting to pesticides like glyphosate—a weedkiller sprayed on many crops (especially grains) not just when they’re growing, but also right before harvest to dry them out quickly. This means it’s often baked right into the bread, oatmeal, chick peas, crackers, cookies, and cereals our families are eating.

And get this… bills are going state by state to be passed into law. Thankfully Florida stood by the health of their citizens, but a few states like Georgia was not so lucky. Now a bill is at the federal level trying to protect companies like Bayer/Monsanto from being liable if glyphosate causes harm to humans. Meanwhile, court after court is awarding money to families dealing with disease like non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma linked to this very chemical. 😔

But it’s not just cancer.

Glyphosate has been tied to:

• Gut dysfunction
• Hormone imbalance
• Fertility issues
• Liver and kidney stress
• And rising rates of autoimmune conditions

It’s a big deal. But most people still don’t know it’s even happening.

That’s why I invited Kelly Ryerson onto the podcast—she’s a fierce advocate at the intersection of agriculture and health and has made it her mission to expose the truth about chemical farming.
