What does it really look like to live with more than one chronic condition?
In this episode of Gluten-Free Unwrapped, Jenny Finke is joined by Lorin Smith, creator of Good Gluten Free Grub. Lorin lives with both celiac disease and type 1 diabetes, and she’s built a powerful community through her content on social media, her podcast, and gluten-free events in Utah.
We talk honestly about managing both conditions, from the daily realities of food and blood sugar management to the emotional weight of trying to feel “normal.”
We also take a deep dive into GLP-1 medications, and Lorin shares her personal experience with the wonder drug, including how it has impacted how she manages her celiac and diabetes symptoms, and some of the surprise side effects it’s had in her overall health journey, and how she thinks it could help others struggling with chronic disorders.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- The stress of managing two chronic conditions: celiac disease and type 1 diabetes
- Lorin’s experience using GLP-1 medications
- What to consider if you’re curious about GLP-1s and you have celiac or type 1 diabetes
- Her experiences building a gluten-free social media following, podcast, and local community
