Is gluten-free the same as wheat free?
No. A product can be wheat-free but not gluten-free and vice versa. You can buy products that are both gluten-free and wheat-free. It is important to read ingredient labels to be certain.

In the Optiway Food Intolerance test, the gliadin (gluten) is tested independently of wheat, barley and rye. If you test positive for gliadin, we suggest you substitute with naturally gluten-free foods such as quinoa, buckwheat, corn and oats.

New year, new you, right?😎

Good news! We are open and ready to fulfill that new year's resolution of changing your old, unhealthy habits and start following a healthy diet and lifestyle.

A few useful tips for 2022:
➡️ Remember that small changes eventually add up to a significant difference. Just start somewhere! Rome was not build in a day.
➡️ The internet is flooded with quick fixes and unscientific information regarding nutrition. Consult a registered dietitian who can walk the journey with you, starting and sticking with the basics that actually work.
➡️ Diet = 80%, Exercise = 20%.
➡️ Drink your 8 glasses of water.
➡️ Healthy body, healthy mind.
➡️ Make each day remarkable!

We LOVE this simple image of what nursing your baby on demand looks like compared to the unrealistic schedule of every 2-3 hours. Your baby knows when they want to eat and it looks different for every single baby.
