    It's gluten free and delicious - Mightylicious

    We would love to hear from you. Click here and let us know what you thought of this episode. Carolyn Haeler, a celiac sufferer, spent years seeking out gluten-free cookie brands. She joined me to talk about these delicious cookies.  One busy holiday season, she was disappointed yet again when a gluten-free cookie crumbled entirely after one bite. That’s when she realized there had to be a better way. As one smart cookie herself, she was determined to create a cookie that was gluten-free, healthy, and above all, delicious.  Listen to the complete interview on Tonia's Kitchen Podcast. If anyone knows decadent gluten-free baked goods, it's Mightylicious. Their scrumptious hand crafted cookies, named 'Top Pick' in Food and Beverage Magazine, have rocked the gluten-free world with their amazing flavor and perfect crumble free texture.

    Why do women's health and nutrition differ from men's? Dr. John Lewis joins me to discuss

    We would love to hear from you. Click here and let us know what you thought of this episode. Nutrition and fitness expert Dr. John Lewis says there are many questionable marketing practices when it comes to women's health. The dairy industry is a prime example of that. The research shows that countries with the highest consumption of dairy have the highest rates of osteoporosis; the US being one of them! While cow’s milk is high in calcium, it is also high in protein and low in magnesium, making the calcium from dairy food poorly absorbed. Visit drlewisnutrition.com John E. Lewis, Ph.D. is the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition® and past full-time Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and now Voluntary Associate Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. He is also a Diplomate, Faculty Member, and Advisor of the Medical Wellness Association. He has been the principal investigator of over 30 different studies in his research career. During that time, he either directly raised or indirectly supported raising over $23 million in grants, gifts, and contracts for research studies and clinical trials and educational programs for medical students.

    Could food allergies disappear in children? Meenal LeLe talks about the research, her discoveries and products

    We would love to hear from you. Click here and let us know what you thought of this episode. I really enjoyed talking with Meenal.  She is on a mission to remove food allergies in children. Her product Lil Mixins is a great start. She talks about how it can help young parents get through the first year with their newborns. Meenal addressed many questions on the topic such as: *Have we stalled in terms of nutrition science or what is needed in the industry to keep making breakthrough discoveries? *Why is it important to think about nutrition from an early age and how can it prevent problems later in life? *Why aren’t more parents aware of the data and the best practices for allergen introduction? *What strides have been made in informing and empowering parents to make smart decisions for their children? Meenal Lele is an entrepreneur with multiple patents, several published clinical studies, and over a dozen profitable medical products. Lele is the founder and CEO of Hanimune Therapeutics which owns Lil Mixins, the only insurance covered brand for food allergy prevention, and Top9Proteins, a B2B suite of patented proteins for allergists treating food allergies. She is also the author of The Baby and the Biome, a book written to educate parents on the true causes of and solutions to allergic disease. As a food allergy parent, Meenal's mission is to end the food allergy epidemic in America. Thanks for listening. Join us for our other Podcast, Tonia's Kitchen.
