Plymouth School District Community Education & Recreation is offering a variety of wellness and nutrition classes this summer!
When I tell people I live a gluten-free lifestyle, I’m usually met with looks of pity. Let me help you take the sadness and fear out of this anti-inflammatory lifestyle by explaining the benefits, how to start, the basics of what it looks like on a daily basis, and some amazing local resources I’ve found to make it feel like I’m living fully rather than just dealing with it. You will sample a variety of gluten-free options available at local stores.
