...about why gluten-free diets are so expensive with host Karina Lanting

Hey-o!

It’s little ol’ me coming in hot about a topic I just know you are dying to know a little bit more about…why is gluten-free so expensive?

I bet there are a few things you maybe have overlooked on cost and production of your favourite gfree goodies, and in this solocast I focus on the reasons why the price tag is so high and how you can save money and offset the costs of items you’re buying already.

I won’t drag this out, because I know you’re itching to get to it, so press play and check out the notes below on some of the products and tips I mention in this episode.

Are you ready to learn why

gluten-free is boujee AF?

Here are a few of my top tips and resources for you to keep the costs down in your gluten-free lifestyle:

1. FIRST THING, MEAL PLAN THE SHIT OUTTA YOUR WEEK.

   If you are not a planner, let’s have a little wee pow wow saying goodbye to your former self.

   Because let’s be real:

   If you are gluten-free for any kind of medical reason, you’re going to need to travel with food, phone ahead to restaurants and bring your own cupcake to birthday parties.

   Oh, I’m sorry, is that just me?

   No, didn’t think so.

   I got your back on the meal plans, babe.

   Check out the ones I’ve got featured on the site here. Each free plan comes with 21 recipes, covering you throughout the entire day for a whole week.

2. NEXT, YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO START PURCHASING YOUR GLUTEN FREE PRODUCTS IN BULK FROM TRUSTED BRANDS.

   Instead of reading the back of every damn label, trust brands that are entirely gluten-free and buy all your products there. Some local businesses offer discounts on items like flour if you purchase the entire box, usually four bags/box. (Hofsted’s in Chilliwack, BC offers 20% off boxed flour purchases)

   Many retailers have online shops now to make it even easier for you to get the goods you’re after. With drop shipping and 24/7 access, this is the magical unicorn where educated shopping meets speedy delivery.

   Moving on, my last piece of advice, is simple really:

3. MAKE MORE MONEY.

   I know that sounds ignorant, and like, “duh” but that is the route I went.

   I knew my lifestyle was never going to change.

   My family would always have their autoimmune disorders and we would continue to manage their symptoms through our food. So I decided to teach other people (like you, Boo!) about healthier lifestyles and easier access to safe products by shopping from their own online store with a trusted, European Heritage brand.

   HOLD THE PHONE.

   how da fuck exactly do I make money shopping from my own store?

   RIGHT.

   Well, simple.

   I wear lipstick, people compliment it.

   I walk around with energy drinks all day, people ask whats in it?

   I have great hair and when I tell people I don’t own a blow dryer or flat iron they DEMAND TO KNOW MY SECRETS.

   It’s simple.

   We all recommend things all day, every day. I just get paid to recommend the stuff I love and BONUS! Get to work with people ready to change their own lives for the better.

   We hit goals of all kinds: health, beauty, financial, time freedom, whatever. You get the deal.

   I can help you enter the world of e-commerce with your own health and wellness business, sharing some awesie products with you from my online store (did I mention 45 day returns on ANYTHING!?) and how you can earn off your healthy lifestyle too. Here’s a little more to it in a YouTube made just for you, or you can slide in to my schedule and book in a one-on-one chat attack with yours truly.

   Maybe you want to start your own cafe to increase the revenue stream and monetize your gluten-free knowledge; maybe you’ll take a couple extra shifts at work or go back to school to upgrade your skills to get a better job.

   Whatever you decide on, stick to your guns. Don’t let money deter you.

   COMMIT TO MAKING SMALL STEPS EVERY DAY TOWARDS LIVING YOUR BEST GLUTEN-FREE LIFE AND YOU WILL GET THERE.

   Just stop looking at the sticker price honey, it’s a way more civilized way to do this whole dance ;)
