The act of giving back fills me with joy and allows me to live out my passion for making a difference. Though the road may be difficult for many, I aim to walk alongside them with compassion.

Natural Food Certifiers (NFC) - gluten free certification

NFC has guidelines and regulations in place to keep food companies in compliance with their gluten free certification. NFC agreed to share their practices with me, in order for me to better inform the public about their safety measures. They also were interested in hearing more about my point of view and I hope to collaborate in the near future on my recommendation for the NFC to offer certifications for restaurants. Going forward we will be working on a podcast and other ways to help out those living a gluten free lifestyle.
