Food Allergies & Sensitivities

Do you or someone you know struggle with food allergies or sensitivities? The food that we put in our bodies plays an integral part in who we are – the way we metabolize food varies dramatically across different individuals. Certain foods can have a strong effect on some people while not on others; this can influence energy, weight, inflammation and overall well-being.

Did you know that over 70% of people eat foods that their bodies can’t easily tolerate? The result can include weight gain, loss of energy and even a shortened lifespan. We all know someone that has severe allergies to certain foods (nuts and shellfish, for example), but did you know that even a mild reaction to food – even though we can’t feel any direct major symptoms – can attack the body and create an immune response that results in these symptoms? This inflammation can raise insulin levels and prevent effective weight loss and create chronic pain – in addition to many other dangerous symptoms.

Inflammation can take a toll on the body – it is the body’s attempt at self-protection. Taking control of inflammation can help you take control of your life and help you live it to the fullest.
