ALLERGIES
UNDERSTANDING FOOD ALLERGIES
& INTOLERANCES
Allergies come from many places and there are many different types. Some happen daily, others seasonally. But what do they have in common? They are a reflection of the immune response. Identification is the first step in the process. How can you know what to avoid unless you know what you are allergic to? This can be both food and environmental. The environment is difficult to avoid but food testing is a go to starting point to help to identify foods to avoid. With identification and avoidance, you allow the body to begin the healing process and can see a major reduction in allergies.
INFLAMMATION CAN LEAD TO
A VARIETY OF SYMPTOMS
Itchy eyes, runny or congested nose, skin rashes, difficulty breathing, a bloated stomach. All of these symptoms can come with an allergic response. For others it can be fatigue, joint pain, and being just plain miserable. Allergies and asthma all people of all ages. Sometimes the cause is obvious. Other times there is complete uncertainty. While some allergies have the potential to be severe, immediate and life threatening, others are delayed harder to identify.
YOU CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF
YOUR UNEXPLAINED SYMPTOMS
If skin prick testing, over-the-counter allergy medications or the extreme of allergy shots worked, you probably wouldn’t be reading this information. Sadly, this is the experience of most people that suffer from allergies, whether from environmental factors or foods. The unique challenge with allergies is not the testing and identification, even though most people aren’t even aware of allergies that they may have them. It is in the thought process of addressing them. Instead of hoping to cover up the symptoms or outgrow them, The Wellness Way Approach is to identify and eliminate the triggers of the allergic response while building a greater buffer to what typically sets people’s allergic response over the edge.
LET’S DO HEALTH
DIFFERENTLY TOGETHER
The Wellness Way Approach begins with Inflammation. Inflammation plays a significant role in all health challenges but the causes of inflammation varies from person to person. Investigation begins with assessing the 3 T’s- Traumas, Toxins and Thoughts.
