Food Sensitivities, Allergies, and Intolerances... Oh My

Fire Within Nutrition and Fitness

In This Episode:

• Brandon and Joe tell stories about their dogs having food allergies and how correcting the issue really helped. Isn't it funny how we are quick to diagnose and correct food allergies in our pets but many people don't know what their own food allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities are.
• What if we could run more optimally if we addressed this issue for our health?
• We discuss food allergies in the US.
• The gold standard to figure out if you have a food sensitivity is still the elimination diet.
• With blood tests, it's not uncommon to get false positives.
• We discuss some of the common symptoms could be allergies and intolerances.
• We talk about what a food intolerance is and how to address it. Typically this is going to involve leaky gut. One of the best supplements to help this is L-Glutamine.
• About 10%, almost 11% of Americans have an allergy, they can be allergic to any food, but the nine most common are peanuts, milk, shellfish, tree nets, eggs, fin fish, wheat, soy, and Sesame.
• Can food reactivity be healed? The data seems to point that you can improve your reaction and maybe be fine with them in moderation.
• We talk about exactly how to do an elimination diet.
