Living a Whole Life with Laurel Gallucci

Courtney: Beyond the Cake

Imagine being told you’ll never be able to eat cake again! Maybe that doesn’t sound like the biggest deal, unless you’re me, but hearing something like this was also devastating to Laurel Gallucci when she was diagnosed with an aggressive autoimmune disease less than 10 years ago.
However, the lifelong baker and dessert lover refused to accept that fate and set out on a mission to create desserts free of the ingredients that were destroying her body. For months, Laurel spent day after day in her kitchen creating delicious treats made from whole ingredients. The day she shared her grain-free, refined-sugar-free, dairy-free, soy-free, gum-free, filler-free, fudge frosted chocolate caramel cake with her friend Claire Thomas, Sweet Laurel Bakery was born.
Years of fighting this aggressive autoimmune disorder with whole foods and Laurel is now in remission. She’s been doing it all while educating others about the impact foods have on our bodies. In today’s episode of Courtney, Beyond the Cake, Laurel shares her journey with us, as well as her mission to live and promote a whole life, as well as the importance of loving ourselves enough to take care of ourselves.
