Dr. DiNezza’s passion for functional medicine and path to healing had an unlikely beginning. Her chronic low back pain prompted her to enroll in chiropractic school to find answers- something no doctor body worker had been able to do for her in five years. While attending a class about the thyroid and the immune system with Datis Kharrazian she realized that this was a critically important (and overlooked) part of her mother’s thyroid care. What started as a quest to help her mom soon became a way for the doctor-to-be help herself. After an elimination diet and food sensitivity testing, Nicole discovered the cause of her chronic pain- gluten. Finally, she had answers (and relief)!
Dr. DiNezza is now the owner and physician at Infinity Holistic Healthcare in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In addition to her DC degree, she has gone on to pursue many hours of study in functional and integrative medicine, as well as earn her Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) certification. At her office in Chapel Hill, Dr. DiNezza frequently helps those with autoimmune diseases and digestive complaints, among other complex cases.

Jennifer Cuevas
The Gluten & Grain Free Gourmet supports delicious eating that is gluten, grain, soy, and poultry free. Jen Cuevas experienced her own journey to wellness by eating this way, and desires to share the message that life can still be delicious!
Just a few short years ago, Jen was ill with a multitude of issues (although not typical “Celiac” symptoms), including high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, sudden weight gain [over 60 pounds], Hashimoto’s, and arthritis (read more of her story here). After more than seven frustrating visits with various doctors, she finally learned about her gluten sensitivity and Celiac disease. In becoming well, she found that life without gluten was really great from a health perspective, but affected everything else that had a social factor.
In the time since her diagnosis, Jen has spent a lot of time learning. She was treated by Dr. Glen Aukerman (author: Better Health in 120 days) and attended all of his classes to understand the medical aspect of how various foods affect gluten sensitivity. After further health issues inspired her to do more research, Jen went completely grain and soy free in 2012, and became a certified coach under the direction of Gluten Free Society. She uses her own health journey to coach and inspire others to consider dietary changes as a way to achieve optimum health. In 2013 she established a support group, and found that food availability continued to be the biggest barrier to success. She began developing food products that support a grain-free, soy-free and even dairy-free lifestyle; many items are allergy-friendly and are free of refined sugars. She also offers allergen-free Communion to churches, raising awareness about the effects of gluten exposure.
After working for 20 years in the corporate world, Tarah Jakubiak founded Allergic Traveler. Jakubiak, president of Allergic Traveler has traveled the world since the age of two. She has been to 22 countries and 25 states. Jakubiak has been to all inclusives, gone on cruises, gone camping; backpacking through Europe, gone to the big cities, and little hidden gems. She has multiple food allergies but it does not stop her from seeing the world. Jakubiak is allergic to eggs, nuts, mushroom, soy, garlic, corn, sesame, potatoes, celery, shellfish, chicken, pork, peanuts, and many fruits. She is originally from Montreal, Quebec and now lives in Greensboro, NC with her husband.

Nicole Cox & Itchy Pig
About the Book:
Itchy Pig is a unique tale of a mischievous piglet who overcomes seasonal allergies. Itchy Pig learns the nature of his sensitivities through outdoor play in ragweed, pollen, and poison ivy. He learns to respect Mother Nature and the importance of preparedness--but his curiosity leaves him with some very itchy consequences.
About the Author:
I am a native Californian. I am married and live in Raleigh, North Carolina. I value the art of writing and poetry. I am an avid animal lover and advocate for animal welfare. I adopted an abused and neglected pit bull puppy named Gunner. This sick little pup was always itchy and scratchy, and we came to find out that Gunner was a very allergenic dog and suffered from many allergies. With his short tattered ears and large snout, Gunner received the nickname Itchy Pig. As I became more confident in writing, I decided to combine my passion for writing and animals; from this, Itchy Pig was born, teaching young children the importance of seasonal allergies. I strive to inspire and entertain those of all ages by making education fun.
***Inspired by my rescue pit bull, Gunner, who suffers from seasonal and food allergies.
