Olivia Jackson: Leading yum. Gluten Free and Advocating for Coeliac Awareness

A Gluten Free Podcast
Episode 24

In this week’s episode, I’m delighted to have Olivia Jackson as my guest. Olivia is the Managing Director and Publisher of yum. Gluten Free magazine, a go-to source for those living gluten free. We dive deep into Olivia’s personal coeliac journey, how her relationship with food and wellness has changed over time, and the inspiring mission behind yum. Gluten Free.

Olivia’s path hasn’t been easy. After nearly a decade of unexplained symptoms, she was finally diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2010. Her love for food, health, and wellness has always been a big part of her life, and this diagnosis sparked a new passion for raising awareness about the real and harmful effects gluten has on people with coeliac disease.

With a strong background in public health and nutrition, Olivia is dedicated to providing practical tips and tricks for managing the strict dietary requirements that come with coeliac disease. She’s also passionate about connecting people with trusted gluten free products, making it easier for individuals to live their best gluten free lives.

Throughout our chat, Olivia shares the challenges she faced before her diagnosis, how she embraced her new lifestyle, and how yum. Gluten Free aims to be a supportive, informative, and inspiring resource for the gluten free community. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living gluten free for years, there’s a lot to learn from Olivia’s experience and insights.
