"Almost ten years ago, I began having daily headaches and abdominal pains. Finally, after crying my eyes out more than once, I eliminating wheat to see if that made a difference. Bingo! I was severely allergic to gluten products. Since then I have discovered additional food sensitivities and allergies. When my friends and acquaintances learn about this, the most common response is "I could never give up bread!". That would most likely have been my response as well, before starting this ten-year journey. However, I have been shown many blessings as a result of this "hardship" including my new career helping others. Topics that we discuss during our interview: Gluten: what is it and why should we care. Food allergies, sensitivities and intolerances: these cause many chronic symptoms and people have no idea they have them. Why people might have problems with bone broth or fermented foods: these healthy foods can cause problems with people with particular sensitivities, health conditions or genetic variants. Nutrition with Ginger helps clients discover the power of personalized whole foods diet to prevent and heal from many chronic health concerns, especially gluten and other food sensitivities. Our bodies have been "fearfully and wonderfully made, " and I believe in using real food as medicine. I help clients discover their internal motivation and the skills needed to put their knowledge into practice in their lives. Three keys that Ginger teaches during our interview: 1. Some of the common symptoms that may be related to food allergies or sensitivities. 2. How to do an elimination diet to determine if they may have food sensitivities. 3. The most common problem foods for food allergies and sensitivities.
