Hi, I’m Jenny Levine Finke. I’ve been gluten-free since April 2012 when I was diagnosed with celiac disease (read about my celiac disease story here). 

I’m not only a patient and student of celiac disease, but also I’m a certified holistic nutrition and wellness coach (certified by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition). I have both the experience of living the gluten-free lifestyle and the nutritional qualifications and credentials to confidently help others on their journey to live a healthy, gluten-free life, too.

It’s hard to know who and what to trust these days. My hope is to create a space where you can find trusted, well-researched information, all delivered to you with a little grace and a whole lot of grit.

While I felt relief knowing my painful bloating would soon come to an end, I was overwhelmed by the process of going gluten-free and how difficult that first year would be physically and emotionally. And while the gluten-free diet gets easier with time, it’s never easy. 

Over the years, I’ve grown into my role as a gluten-free “expert” of sorts. I’ve spent a lot of time focused on healing from celiac disease, something that is grossly overlooked by most celiacs. (I’m proud to say that I have healed from celiac disease and put my celiac disease symptoms into remission!)

I’ve learned to be a better, more confident home cook, and I now know what gluten-free products I like and which ones I most definitely will avoid. I know how to eat in a way that keeps me healthy, and I have a better overall relationship with food.

I wanted to share my story and help others – hence the birth of a gluten-free food blog and journey known as Good For You Gluten Free.

Good For You Gluten Free is more than just another gluten-free blog; rather it’s a place where you can feel good about being gluten-free and find inspiration and support whether you’re starting your gluten-free journey, or whether you’re simply stopping by along the way. This is a no judgement zone. I may make mistakes; you may make mistakes. We are all in this together.

Working with Brands

Please note that everything I share with you is gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities. I only partner with brands I believe in and ones that use safe, gluten-free ingredients. I am very picky about the brands I will work with, always keeping it real.

You’ll see that I only partner with brands that match my core values. This means I look for products that offer clean ingredient labels, whole foods, organic ingredients and, when possible, low sugar. I hope to bring back joy in cooking and eating in your life in a healthy and meaningful way.

I also partner with brands that provide a legitimate, much-needed service to the gluten-free community. I vet each and every company I work with, and say “no” more than “yes” as to only bring you the best, most trusted information.

Eating Out Is My Jam

I like to eat out and help guide restaurants in their understandings of what it means to provide a safe, gluten-free meal. I even wrote an ebook on the topic called Eating Out Gluten-Free: The Ultimate Guide to Gluten-Free Safe Dining at Restaurants and On-the-Go. I hope you’ll download it.

You’ll often see me testing restaurants and products with my trusty Nima Sensor. The Nima Sensor is a portable gluten detecting device I use to test a portion of my food for gluten before I eat it. You can see everything I’ve tested in my Nima Tested archives.

Health Coaching for the Celiac and Gluten Sensitive Community

I invite you to learn more about Power Coaching Session for people with celiac disease, gluten sensitivities and autoimmune disorders. I love working with people to help them not only feel more confident eating gluten-free, but also to help them understand how to heal their bodies. There is more to the gluten-free diet than simply splitting with gluten!

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in May 2018. After very little guidance from doctors about what to do next, I found myself researching online about how to live with Celiac. I eventually came across Jenny and her blog, and had it not been for her and the wonderful community she has cultivated online, I truly believe I wouldn’t be where I am today- a negative test for Celiac and truly healing! I found success in reading all of Jenny’s blog posts, scheduling a consult with her, and joining her Facebook support group. Celiac disease is a lifelong journey, and I’ve realized that you have to be your own self-advocate. To anyone who is new to Celiac, confused about it, or just not sure where to start, I highly recommend visiting Jenny’s blog and scheduling a consult with her. Healing and good health is possible, especially with all of Jenny’s amazing advice and wisdom! – Elise A.

Please learn more about my Power Coaching Sessions and learn how you can apply to meet with me. My coaching is exclusively for people with celiac disease, gluten sensitivities or autoimmune disorders who are highly motivated to heal their bodies and reclaim their health!

A Bit More About Me

I enjoy promoting the good for you lifestyle where food can aid in helping us feel our best inside and out.

While helping people feel their best is my first love, my second love is communications. I majored in Journalism at the University of Missouri-Columbia. I use the power of the pen to help spread the word about healthy, gluten-free living. I also love to speak about gluten-free living (and what it’s like to run a business).

I’m also the founder of the Denver Blogger’s Club, a group of 550+ food, family, lifestyle and local interest bloggers living and working in the Denver metro area, and I organize our Club’s annual conference called, Fuel Your Influence Conference.
