Dietitian Cass Reacts to the Biggest Nutrition Debates on the Internet (Episode #27)
The internet has made nutrition more confusing than ever... so what should we actually believe? 🤔
This week, I'm joined by the amazing @dietitiancass to break down some of the biggest nutrition debates online—from protein and seed oils to juice, electrolytes, Brazil nuts, and viral wellness trends.
As someone living with celiac disease, I've learned that taking care of your health isn't just about avoiding gluten—it's also about building a balanced, nourishing diet without getting caught up in every nutrition headline or TikTok trend.
If you've ever wondered...
✨ Is juice actually unhealthy?
✨ Are seed oils really that bad?
✨ Do I need electrolyte packets?
✨ How much protein do I actually need?
...this episode is for you.
I loved this conversation because it's a reminder that nutrition doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. It can be evidence-based, practical, and yes—even fun. 💛

He Married Someone with Celiac — Then Built the Most Transparent Gluten-Free Restaurant | Jon Sherman, Founder of Matter (Episode #26)
Jon Sherman didn't set out to open a gluten-free restaurant. He ran a fried chicken joint. But when his wife was diagnosed with celiac disease — and his own health and wellness journey started to shift the way he thought about food — everything changed.
In this episode of the Celiac Diaries Founder Series, I sit down with Jon, the founder of Matter, a 100% gluten-free fast casual concept in NYC built around radical ingredient transparency and real, whole food. We get into the behind-the-scenes reality of the restaurant industry — including the truth about how most restaurants choose ingredients (hint: it's usually the cheapest processed option) and how to deconstruct a label like a pro.
We also go deep on the wellness side: olive oil quality, microplastics, creatine, how your body adapts to different diets, and how John personally balances a high standard of eating with a real life.
This one is equal parts celiac education, food industry transparency, and honest wellness conversation — and I think you're going to love it.
Topics covered:
How Jon's wife's celiac diagnosis shaped Matter's entire mission
The truth about restaurant ingredient sourcing and processed flours
Folic acid, fortified foods, and why it matters for the celiac community
How to find real extra virgin olive oil (and avoid blends)
Microplastics: what to look out for
Creatine and adapting your body to a new diet or lifestyle
The future of Matter beyond NYC

Celiac Isn’t Just a ‘White Person Disease’ — The Diagnosis Gap No One Talks About (Episode #25)
In honor of Celiac Disease Awareness Month, this episode of Celiac Diaries dives into a conversation that isn’t talked about enough.
I’m joined by Liz Purvis (@yeetthatwheat) to unpack a major misconception:
celiac disease is often seen as a “white person disease” — but that perception may be contributing to people being misdiagnosed.
Liz shares her non-traditional diagnosis story, including:
Having symptoms her entire life without answers
Being misdiagnosed for years
Navigating multiple conditions like IBS, PCOS, GERD, and functional dyspepsia
Dealing with nutrient deficiencies and chronic gut issues
We also talk about the bigger picture:
How bias and gaps in the healthcare system can impact celiac diagnosis
Why underrepresented groups may be overlooked in testing
The emotional toll of not being believed by doctors
How to advocate for yourself when something feels off
Plus, we get into:
“Anxious stomach” and mental health
Living with multiple diagnoses
Thoughts on gluten sensors
Liz’s advocacy work, Meta campaign, and behind-the-scenes of a gluten-free documentary
If you’ve ever felt dismissed in your health journey — or want to better understand the realities of celiac disease beyond the stereotypes — this episode is for you.

News of the Week: A study found that Black patients with biopsy-confirmed celiac disease are significantly more likely to have negative blood tests — meaning the usual first screening tool (the TTG-IgA test) may not flag their condition even when they truly have it.
