At the Table is a podcast from the Gluten Intolerance Group, created for anyone navigating life gluten-free and for those who want to understand what that really means.
Hosted by Channon, COO of the Gluten Intolerance Group and CEO of GIG Cares, this podcast pulls up a chair for real conversations about food safety, health, trust, and the systems that shape our everyday choices. Some weeks we talk food labeling, certification, and how safety decisions are actually made. Other weeks, we zoom out to the lived experience: what it’s like to manage chronic conditions, advocate for yourself, care for family, or rebuild confidence around food and health.
This isn’t about fear or perfection. It’s about clarity, education, and community. It’s about slowing down, asking better questions, and giving people the information they need to move through the world with more confidence and less overwhelm.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, years into this journey, a caregiver, a professional, or simply curious, you’re welcome here.
Pull up a chair. You belong at the table.
