Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Michel Tierney discuss the following:
- Tell me why you founded Mikey’s?
- I understand you are a chef – how did that impact you creating a Paleo friendly, Gluten free and sometimes Keto friendly line of products?
- You recently launched two new products in the Pockets line – tell me about those and why you fell the Mikey’s pockets fill a need?
- Do most people who follow a gluten free diet have Celiac Disease or do you think it is more for lifestyle and health reasons?
- What do people need to know or be aware of when choosing gluten free products
Tip: Not all gluten free products are made equal – just because they are gluten free –does not mean they are healthy. Read labels carefully and choose products that are not only gluten and allergy free but all have clean ingredients and taste good.
