With the industrialization of the food industry over the past 100 years, our bodies have had to deal with a lot of changes. Potential stressors, such as processed foods, confusing dietary recommendations, and drastic changes in food production methods has resulted in the human bodies ability to keep up! As a result, issues can occur with digestion and absorption of nutrients that are needed for optimal health.
What are the common symptoms associated with food sensitivities?
- migraine headaches
- Chronic Fatigue
- Brain fog
- skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, itchy skin, and acne
- stomach pains and cramping
- gas and bloating after eating
- nervousness and irritability
- diarrhea and/or constipation
- heart burn
- inflammation and swelling of joints with pain
How Can Functional Nutritional Therapy Help?
Instead of just removing the symptoms (bloating, skin rashes, headaches, etc.) Functional Nutritional Therapy focuses on the cause of these imbalances. For instance, if someone with a nut sensitivity eats nuts and their skin breaks out, we will explore WHY the body reacted in that way and address the problem from that perspective.
If you are seeking to eliminate adverse food reactions and boost your overall immune health, Functional Nutritional Therapy WILL help you! We use targeted testing options to see what your body needs that will aid in the relief of your food sensitivity symptoms as well as ensure that food reactions will not hinder your life going forward.
Here at Maine Nutri Therapy, I use a very sensitive Food Sensitivity panel call the Mediator Release Test or (MRT) by Oxford Biomedical Laboratories to help my clients discover what their particular sensitivities are. Once we know what foods or combinations of foods are causing inflammation in your body, we can create a healing protocol that will bring your body back into balance.
Would you like to discover if food sensitivities are contributing to your health concerns? I offer a free initial consultation where we can discuss your health goals. Please click here to sign up for a session.
