About this episode

In this episode, Caleigh McAulay, RD, is joined by Aiden LeJeune, a young advocate using his voice to raise awareness, and Julie Greene, a parent navigating life with a child living with celiac disease. Together, they talk about what it's really like growing up gluten-free—from school and social situations to gaining independence as a young adult. Caleigh also explores the importance of youth advocacy and how programs like Celiac Canada's Kids Teach Kids Day are helping empower the next generation to share their stories, educate others, and create change.
