Did you know that 1 in 100 people -- or 3 million Americans -- has celiac disease, which is an intolerance to gluten. This is the most common genetic disease of mankind. Plus, in addition, millions more have a gluten sensitivity. No one knows for sure how many that is, but estimates are as high as 70% of the population. Learn about this from \\u201cThe Gluten-Free Guru\\u201d Danna Korn, who is an author, motivational speaker, and wellness expert. Danna is author of six bestselling books, including three in the \\u201cFor Dummies\\u201d series. Danna has been featured in People Magazine, on ABC\\u2019s \\u201c20-20,\\u201d and other media outlets. She has been a pioneer in the nutrition and wellness communities since 1991, when her son was diagnosed with celiac disease. Doctors told her that her son, like others with celiac disease, would \\u201csuffer\\u201d a life of deprivation and restrictions, and they gave her no direction for following a gluten-free diet, which was the key to his improved health. Six bestselling books and thousands of speaking engagements later, Danna has earned the reputation of being a guru not only in the world of gluten freedom, but also in the field of wellness in general -- and in the process has helped improve the lives of millions by helping them adopt a healthier lifestyle. She is founder of GlutenFreedom, which offers consultation services to retailers, restaurants, manufacturers, and the general public. She also founded and runs the world\\u2019s largest support group of its type, R.O.C.K. (Raising Our Celiac Kids), which has more than 140 chapters throughout the U.S. and Canada. Danna\\u2019s passion for wellness extends far beyond gluten-free living. She is co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sonic Boom Wellness, an innovative corporate wellness company with more than 100 well-known clients throughout the U.S. and Canada.
