Dr. Alessio Fasano – Leading Research and Treatment For Gluten-Related Disorders
Monday, February 27th 2017
Noon PT
The Dr. Theresa Nicassio Show – LISTEN LIVE
Join me on Monday February 27th at noon PT on The Dr. Theresa Nicassio Show with Dr. Alessio Fasano on HealthyLife.net – All Positive Talk Radio for the privilege of an inspiring and educational conversation that will open your eyes to the accurate and most cutting-edge scientific information currently available on the subject of gluten and health.
World-renowned pediatric gastroenterologist, research scientist, Harvard Professor, and Author of Gluten Freedom, Dr. Alessio Fasano, is one of the foremost leaders in the field of celiac disease, gluten sensitivity research, and gut health. In the face of much early resistance, his commitment to understanding the root cause of ailments that were not well understood and naming “the elephant in the living room” (gluten), combined with his courage and passion to offer hope for those afflicted, has created an unexpected bridge around the understanding of the interplay of gastroenterology, intestinal permeability (aka “leaky gut”), autoimmunity, and the broad range of other systems in the body, including the neurological system, that can be affected by it.

Allan Walker Chair of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and Chief of the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition at MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC). His visionary research, which established the rate of celiac disease at one in 133 people, led to the awareness of celiac disease as a growing public health problem in the United States.

Do You Have A Question Or Topic You’d Like Me To Address?

#BecauseYouAsked…
The “Because You Asked” radio show segment was inspired by the plethora of questions friends and followers have been asking me since the YUM Project began. I can’t begin to tell you how moved I have been by the droves of email inquiries, social media messages, phone calls and in-person questions YUM and my speaking engagements have prompted! With such a demand, it will be terrific to be able to offer my reflections and information to an even broader audience.
If you have any topics or questions that you would like me to address, I’d love to hear from you.
