She now focuses on speaking, creating educational content, online consultations for clients, and her web-store.

Dr. John B. Symes (aka Dogtor J)- after being diagnosed with Celiac's disease himself, his mission blossomed into a full-time project encompassing people and pets.  Not only does gluten intolerance (and his research has added dairy, soy and corn) affect millions of people, it also affects just as many pets and manifests in many ways: digestive issues (leaky gut, etc.), epilepsy, ADHD, autism, fibromyalgia, migraines and other neurodegenerative diseases.  Please check out his website and share it.  It is extremely informative with research and recipes for all!
