## Resource

Why does bread in Europe not bother your gut the way it does in the United States — and what does glyphosate have to do with Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, and other serious health conditions? If wheat and dairy trigger inflammation, fatigue, anxiety, or loose stools at home, why can they feel totally fine abroad? In this episode, I share what happened when I recently spent two weeks in Spain and Portugal and ate gluten after being gluten-free for 14 years. Instead of feeling bloated, irritable, and anxious like I normally would after eating gluten, I actually felt completely fine. That’s right — no symptoms whatsoever. You’ve probably heard of others having similar experiences, but the science and history behind why this happens is fascinating. I explain why European wheat is different from U.S. wheat, and how the U.S. food system’s agricultural and dairy practices have created a perfect storm of problems since at least 1996. We’ll get into how glyphosate and other herbicides have infiltrated our food system, plus what the research says about gut bacteria disruption, intestinal permeability, and thyroid/endocrine impacts. There’s also a very real connection between glyphosate and non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has led to hundreds of thousands of lawsuits. Then we talk dairy: why the EU banned synthetic growth hormones, fatty acid profiles (grass-fed vs. grain-fed), and how mold-contaminated feed can contribute to issues that I often see show up in toxin testing. This may all seem like bad news from the U.S. perspective, but there are still things we can do here to protect our health without missing out on the good things in life. One major benefit of living in the U.S. is that there are unlimited options, and there are many swaps we can make that avoid the toxins and inflamm…
