At Sculpted Soul, we provide food for your gluten-free life. We educate, empower, and support individuals who require specialized gluten-free nutrition and wellness programs to maximize their health, happiness and overall wellbeing. We accomplish this mission through a comprehensive holistic approach: by providing bio-tailored nutritional coaching, online educational tools and resources, and personalized one-on-one support to help our clients make the transition to a healthier and ultimately happier life. Through our holistic approach, we teach clients how to modify the foods they eat, but more importantly, we empower and equip them to transform their lives.
Implementing a 100% gluten-free diet and lifestyle is extremely hard. To be successful, it not only requires a change in diet, but also a fundamental change in behavior. Going gluten-free can require life-altering changes that not only affect you, but also your entire circle of family and friends. That’s why fully transforming the way you eat, think and live is the only way to achieve a complete and sustainable gluten-free life.
At Sculpted Soul, we excel at helping make the transition to gluten-free as painless as possible for you and your loved ones. We are committed to making sure that your decision to go gluten free doesn’t mean you have to give up on the good life. We have helped achieve incredible results for our clients who battle Autism, Celiac Disease as well as other stomach and digestive ailments including IBS and Casein allergies.
What is gluten?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and all of their derivatives.
Who can benefit from going gluten-free?
Individuals with Celiac Disease: Do you suffer from bloating, fatigue, abdominal pain, weight loss, IBS, constipation or diarrhea? If you do, you may have a medical condition known as Celiac Disease, a genetic disorder that affects approximately 1 in 133 Americans – though the condition is significantly under diagnosed. Celiac Disease is a genetically predisposing condition in which, after long-term exposure to these dietary proteins, the lining of the small intestine is damaged. As a result, this area of the intestine, important in absorbing and digesting nutrients, is unable to function properly. The result of this is a broad spectrum of problems relating to malnourishment. Incidentally, the only acceptable treatment for Celiac Disease is strict adherence to a 100% gluten-free diet for life. Whether you have Celiac Disease or struggle with another digestive ailment, our bio-tailored programs have helped clients of all ages experience relief by giving them the tools and knowledge to implement a gluten-free diet and lifestyle.
Autistic children and their families: Recent medical research has suggested that gluten-free/dairy-free diets can help mitigate the effects of Autism. In fact, many parents of children with autism have reported that removing casein (dairy) and gluten from their child's diet increases eye contact, attention span, and general mood while decreasing problems like tantrums, hand-flapping, rocking and aggression. As an alternative to medication, many physicians are now prescribing gluten-free/dairy-free diets to children with Autism. At Sculpted Soul, we have developed programs specifically designed to help autistic children and their families incorporate gluten-free/dairy-free diets into their daily lives.
Individuals with food allergies, food sensitivities or other digestive problems: We have also helped clients suffering from IBS and other digestive disorders find relief by eliminating both gluten and casein (dairy) from their diets. Diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating and vomiting caused by a gluten sensitivity can also lead to learning and attention problems. Thus, by allowing the gut to heal and begin normal digestion and absorption, individuals, especially children, can show major improvement with the elimination of gluten from their diet. Going gluten-free is not easy to make alone, so if you suffer from a food allergy or another digestive disorder, we can customize a program to equip you with the tools and knowledge required to mitigate the adverse effects of your digestive ailments.
Anyone looking to implement a healthier more natural diet:The gluten-free diet is the fastest-growing nutritional trend in America. Some people give up wheat and gluten out of necessity; others have discovered bread, beer and other gluten impregnated foods make them feel bloated, or cause some type of gastro-distress. Still, others are on some type of low-carb (a virtually gluten-free) diet, and realize that they feel better.
Other disorders: Some medical practitioners also believe the diet may be helpful for persons with multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune disorders, as well as ADHD, and some behavioral problems.
Personalized Gluten-Free Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching
At Sculpted Soul, we specialize in helping clients combat the adverse effects associated with two of the fastest growing health conditions in our country: Celiac Disease and Autism. If you are one of the millions of individuals suffering from gluten and/or dairy allergies or in need of a specialized diet or lifestyle change for other health-related reasons, then our bio-tailored Gluten-Free Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching program could be right for you.
Since our founding, we have been helping clients make the transition to a gluten-free lifestyle…without giving up on the good life!
Specifically, we have advised clients on:
- Planning gluten-free meals
- Shopping for gluten-free products
- Avoiding gluten-laden foods
- Finding gluten-free restaurants
- Educating family and friends
- Cooking gluten-free meals
- Ordering gluten-free foods when eating out
In addition to training clients to overcome the practical obstacles to a gluten-free life, we also provide valuable one-on-one counseling and support for all our clients and family members. Because an individual’s mental and physical health are tightly interwoven, we invest heavily in providing personalized support and positive encouragement to help clients build the psychological resilience required for success.
The great news for people with gluten sensitivities/intolerance is that the condition can be managed with diet alone. The bad news of course is that a drastic change in diet and lifestyle can be extremely hard to sustain, especially since so many social events are centered around eating. Fear of eating, particularly dining outside of the home, can occur and result in social isolation. However, with appropriate coaching, the gluten-free diet can be maintained even when dining outside the comforts of your own kitchen.
We take great pride in helping all our clients develop both the practical knowledge and psychological resilience they need to achieve the results they deserve!
