Breaking Bread: Why Gluten Isn't Always the Enemy (and Why We Started Making Our Own)
In this episode, Dr. Trisha challenges the common belief that gluten must be completely avoided when trying to conceive and explains that modern processed bread is the real issue. Joined by her husband, Taylor, they delve into their personal journey of making homemade bread using whole wheat berries and its positive impact on their family's health. The episode covers the history of bread production, the health benefits of homemade over commercial bread, and provides practical tips on making nutritious bread at home. Additionally, biblical references are shared to emphasize that bread is not the enemy, but rather a traditional and nourishing food. Dr. Trisha also offers various support resources for those on their fertility journey.
