How to Determine if You Have Food Sensitivities with Nutritional Practitioner, Linda Downey

We know that sometimes when we eat certain foods, we feel off.  It can be hard to pinpoint which foods contribute to these sensations, especially if our meals consist of a variety of ingredients.   To help us understand this issue, I interviewed Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Integrative Health Practitioner/Coach and Personal Trainer, Linda Downey.    We discussed what happens when inflammation in our gut allows it to leak food into our blood stream.  This can lead to symptoms of food sensitivities when we eat specific foods.    Linda explains the different between a whole food sensitivity test and a zoomers test that breaks down the food into the different peptides to see if there are specific components of the food to which you are sensitive.   We go through her sensitivity test and she explains how it is important to understand that common foods we are sensitive to can show up in other products like shampoo or adhesives.  We discuss some of the common symptoms like brain fog, joint pain and migraines.  Some symptoms don't even show up until a couple days after you eat that specific food!   Linda underwent her own personal health journey in her 20's, 30's and 40's as she suffered from Ulcerative Colitis, Lyme's disease, Grave's disease and Hashimoto's disease.  She was determined to find out what happened to her body and how to fix or control these issues.  She has been working to repair her gut to allow her to eat certain foods again without reactions.   Please join us for this conversation to learn all about food sensitivities, testing and its importance in your wellbeing!   To reach Linda, please visit her website: www.organichealthjourney.com or email her at [email protected].   -Dr. Amy   Subscribe to PABR Institute's email list for free Tips for Relief: https://pabrinstitute.activehosted.co...   www.pabrinstitute.com
