• Jet Widick, the force behind the popular Gluten Free Sage blog, spent 15 years living with undiagnosed Celiac Disease. She spent 15 years unable to maintain physical health, with no clue why she was so ill. Once her diagnosis gave a face to her once invisible enemy, she took charge of her life and became a passionate advocate for healthy physical, spiritual and emotional living earning the nickname Jet from her children. During her transformation Jet discovered the healing power of writing, is now the author of three illustrated poetry books for children and adults that focus on promoting self-love and the power of a healthy life. Her latest book, White Wild Indigo (May 15,) is full of poems that elementary age children can read, while delivering messages of hope, inspiration, and living in the present that bring smiles to faces of all ages.
