To help answer this question for you on the Biology of Trauma™ Podcast, I interview two Functional Medical experts, Dr. Peter Osborne and Dr. Tom O’Bryan about the impact grains and gluten have on your body. Whether for you, your clients, or someone you know, this is the truth you need to know.

Dr. Peter is a Doctor of Chiropractic and a functional nutrition expert and has become one of the world’s leading experts on gluten sensitivity.

Dr. Tom is someone who through his writings, gave me answers when my own autoimmune markers were off and I was experiencing fatigue and gut issues.

Peter and Tom have a wealth of information on autoimmune issues and their link to gut health, how inflammation affects treating trauma, and suggestions for catching autoimmune issues years before they could be diagnosed. We discuss gluten sensitivity and how it impacts the body. It all starts in the gut!
