Hello geniuses, welcome to another episode of The Genius Life.

I'm your host Max Lugovira, a filmmaker, health and science journalist,

and the author of The New York Times' best-selling book Genius Foods.

On this episode of the show, I'm super excited to introduce you to my good friend, Nicole Cogan.

If her name sounds unfamiliar to you, you may have heard of her by her internet handle, Nobred.

Nobred is not only the name of her Instagram account where she has 163,000 followers as of this recording,

but her blog, too, where she shares her journey as a gluten intolerance social person

trying to navigate the modern world, which even today can be pretty intimidating for those with food sensitivities.

Over the next hour, she's going to share her investigation into her mysterious symptoms,

remaining steadfast in her search for answers even when she alleges, doctors couldn't offer her any.

She discovered that a gluten-free lifestyle helped radically improve her health,

and has dedicated her life to helping others more easily adhere to the gluten-free lifestyle.

In this episode, you're going to discover the mysterious symptoms that went away with the adoption of a gluten-free diet.

How to eat gluten-free when eating out without becoming that person of the table?

Why trusting your gut can lead you astray when it comes to gluten sensitivity?

Why some allegedly gluten-sensitive people can better tolerate gluten-containing foods

when traveling abroad to say Italy?

And you're going to learn my favorite fried food, which Nicole claims she can make just as good as the original, but gluten-free.

That's a big promise, you guys.

But Nicole is a very smart cookie, a gluten-free one, of course, and I'm pumped for you to get to know her.

But before we get to the show, I want to give a shout out to the sponsor of this episode of the show, and that is Four Sigmatic.

Four Sigmatic makes a number of products using medicinal mushrooms, but I'm a fan of all mushrooms in general.
