Summary
The queen of healthy allergy-free recipes joins The Exam Room with delicious and safe recipes that anyone can enjoy.
Kayla Cappiello specializes in recipes that are gluten free and can easily be transformed into dairy-free, nut-free, low-fat vegan masterpieces.
Her passion in the kitchen stems from her own experiences with food allergies. The journey began with acute episodes that landed her in the emergency room after eating nuts as a child.
As an adult, she often felt sick and tired and had brain fog. Doctors were baffled by her symptoms before discovering that she has celiac disease and was lactose intolerant in addition to having the nut allergy. Even something as simple as a sandwich would knock her for a loop.
Kayla didn't want to stop eating all of her favorite foods, so she began to develop allergy-free recipes for the dishes she loved.
She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about balancing making healthy decisions without sacrificing flavor and how her delicious journey has her feeling better than ever.

| 0:18.2 | made for dinner on Instagram, like maybe someone else who has the same allergies |
| 0:21.9 | will see it and then I'll be able to |
| 0:23.7 | like not be alone. So I just started posting all my recipes that were like in my |
| 0:28.5 | head like a win. It was like I adjusted this recipe it was like a random recipe I saw online but I |
| 0:34.2 | adjusted it to be like gluten-free and dairy-free and I changed what I had to |
| 0:38.4 | change and now I came up with this great idea so if there's anybody else out there who can benefit like here's the information and I mean I had no idea like all these people later that like I'm definitely not the only one going through this but in that moment I just wanted like one more |

| 1:46.8 | no tree nuts, no milk or eggs, no gluten and on and on and on and those are just a few of the common ones. You know a lot of people out of the |
| 1:57.2 | gate will say yeah that's just no way to live and yet for millions of people it is a daily reality and |
