Show Notes

Have results from food sensitivity testing left you feeling disempowered and hopeless?

We get SO many questions about food sensitivities and allergies, and there is so much misunderstanding and misinformation about the topic.

In this conversation we get right to the root of what's behind food sensitivities and how to reverse them for good!

 

Some important takeaways include...

  • The difference between food allergies (IgE immune response) and food sensitivities (IgE/IgA immune response)
  • The link between intestinal permeability/leaky gut and dysbiosis
  • How microbes digest plant fibers to heal your gut
  • The importance of being slow and mindful while bringing in foods that may have caused issues in the past
  • The risk of animal products in contributing to dysbiosis
  • Why its crucial to understand the stress-gut connection, and how to find peace with food
