Hope you're having a fantastic week so far!
We wanted to take a moment to talk about something we've both experienced firsthand: brain fog after eating, and how gluten might be play a role.
Before we started The GFB, we'd often feel exhausted after meals.
Especially Marshall who'd often deal with joint pain, which, as we later found out, was diagnosed as a celiac.
Turns out, cutting out gluten wasn't just a small change for us — it made a huge difference.
Marshall was able to traveling everywhere for his sales job.
Which could've meant an all-day car trip to see a customer or a 15-hour flight to China or Australia.
Here's why that might've happened:
Here's what might explain that:
Gluten, a protein in wheat, barley, and rye, can trigger inflammation in the gut for some people.
And since the gut and brain are closely connected (scientists call it the gut-brain axis)...
Inflammation in your gut can send signals to your brain.
For some, this can contribute to feelings of brain fog, making it harder to focus, think clearly, or even stay awake.
Even if you or your close family members aren't diagnosed with celiac disease...
Many people find that reducing gluten helps them feel more energized, less bloated, and healthier overall.
If this sounds familiar, it might be worth giving gluten-free a try.
Or if you already are, then nudging someone you know and love to give it a go and see if it makes a difference in their lives.
And if you're looking for snacks to make it easier, we've got you covered.
