In this episode I interview a vital team member in our clinic, the one and only Mrs Shyler Landry! Shyler is such a gift to our patients and our community. She has an unmatched passion for nutrition and serves patients and supports their transition to a diet that best suits them. From cooking classes to grocery store tours, Shyler is committed to educating our community in their nutritional journey.
Shyler shares her journey from a college student to being diagnosed with Celiacs disease and having to completely overhaul her diet and lifestyle to support her newly diagnosed autoimmune disease. Not only was she resilient she went on to get her Masters in Integrative and Functional Nutrition so she can help serve those with chronic disease and autoimmunity through diet, lifestyle and nutrition.
After her initial diagnosis of Celiacs disease Shyler notes there was a huge void in the education and mentorship surrounding her autoimmunity diagnosis and was left having to figure out all the specific of Celiacs, hidden sources of gluten as well as foods that may mimic gluten and still cross react with the immune system.
We also discuss the pattern of chronic disease currently growing despite more and more money allocated towards healthcare.
We also discuss what limiting factors people may face when improving their health and nutrition for the better.
Then we touch on what are some basic introductory nutritional starting points for cleaning up your diet and nutrition if one is looking for a easy but impactful place to start.
We hope you enjoy our discussion on everything nutrition and our introduction to an amazing human and nutritionist, Shyler Landry!
