Award winning children’s author, Tina Turbin, achieves yet another victory.

Los Angeles, CA-

Acclaimed children’s author Tina Turbin, best known for her multi-award-winning Danny the Dragon children’s book series, recently made two radio appearances on Magnificent Menopause and Beyond—Embracing Midlife to talk about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet. Both of her radio interviews have been selected for broadcast on the major women’s radio station Heartbeat Radio for Women, a tremendous victory for the celiac community.

A passionate advocate for celiac disease, an autoimmune disease triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, Turbin appeared on Magnificent Menopause and Beyond to speak with co-hosts and menopause specialists Gail Edgell and Carrie Pierce about the disease, the gluten-free lifestyle, and her new eBook, “Gluten and Your Aging Body,” available for sale on the author’s non-profit website, http://www.GlutenFreeHelp.info.

Magnificent Menopause and Beyond has been picked up by a leading women’s radio station, Heartbeat Radio for Women, based in Florida with 70,000 female listeners. The station is launching Edgell and Pierces’s program with their best 10 archived shows of their choosing. The co-hosts made sure to choose both of Turbin’s radio interviews to be featured. The program has additionally been picked up by a global health website, which has placed the show’s widget, containing Turbin’s two interviews, on their site.

Magnificent Menopause and Beyond covers a wide range of topics for 40+ women and welcomes male listeners as well. Their broadcasts cover subjects such as health and nutrition, beauty, finances, sexuality, and spirituality for midlife women featuring qualified professionals in these respective fields. Edgell is an exercise physiologist, author, and trainer, and Pierce is a licensed aesthetician, author and menopause skincare expert.

Tina Turbin is best-known for her critically acclaimed illustrated children’s book, Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy, which has been honored by the iParenting Media Awards, International Book Awards, and the Mom’s Choice Awards among others. The author recently released an innovative iPad app for Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy, the very first children’s book app to offer sign language interpretation. The product, which was created by iStoryTime, the iPhone app developer for DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon, was featured by Apple and remains among its top recommendations.

In addition to her work as an author, Turbin is a leading gluten-free advocate whose non-profit website, http://www.GlutenFreeHelp.info, was chosen as number two out of 6.7 million registered .info websites around the world in the “Best .INFO Website Awards Program of 2010” by Afilias, the registry operator of .info. The website has become one of the most highly regarded web resources for the gluten-free community, featuring cutting-edge news, research, helpful tips, gluten-free recipes, and gluten-free product and company reviews.

“This is terrific news for the gluten-free community!” Turbin says. “I am honored that Gail and Carrie have selected my interviews to be broadcasted to such a large audience, and I admire them for their contribution to the cause of raising awareness of celiac disease.”

Tina Turbin’s radio interview on the Francesca Durham Radio Show in October was a terrific success!

Francesca Durham (radio show host) had many kind words to say about Tina, including the fact that Tina is a “consummate professional.” 

“Thought I would give you the update from our show, we have had over 100 downloads to date which is excellent and of course the numbers keep going up. 

“Thanks again for initiating contact with Tina, she is lovely…”

Many don’t realize that having clear-cut personal goals for ourselves is an integral part of creating a happy home.  The great news is that it’s not too difficult to achieve this!

Thursday’s radio show on the topic of Positive Parenting and Happy Homes will reveal author Tina Turbin’s effective tips and advice on how to do the above and SO much more.  Listen here.  All you have to gain is a happy home!
