Join former magazine editors Erica and Jules as they talk about everything gluten-free (and more) with food restrictions, and a life led well avoiding the food that hates you.

In this episode, Erica interviews Debbie and Candice of Two Alpha Gals. These "gals" are about the sweetest nicest smartest kindest women around. And they both happen to have Alpha-Gal Syndrome. This means they both can't have mammalian meat - like beef or pork - or animal by-products like dairy or gelatin. Heck, they can't even have red algae (not because it's a meat, but you'll have to listen to the episode to find out why). We met the two gals at the FAACT Summit and we got to know them a little better and asked them about their new foundation, and what it's really like to live with AGS!
"We’re using our journey with alpha-gal syndrome to seek new and exciting ways to live with our diagnosis without sacrificing JOY. " - Two Alpha Gals

WARNING: This episode contains adult language and political conversations. There are talks about the current political climate. Since food and health are inherently political, we truly believe that this podcast is a good listen. But if you're currently avoiding political talk, skip to the around the 17 minute mark.
In this episode, Jules and Erica explain the current struggles with federal funding cuts to important sectors of the government, including food safety, and agriculture.
Jules and Erica also talk about Expo West swag - and if the puffer bags were worth the wait, and if you should really throw a massive party for your brand, or bring in special celebrity guests. Is it all worth the money? Does a puffer bag really raise your brand identity? Can an over-the-top party with little to no branding involved really make people excited about housewares? Let's find out in this episode.
