Food Sensitivities: A deeper approach than just testing & restricting | Christa Bielger | Ep 86

Let's Talk Thyroid

In this podcast, I talk with Christa Bielger about a range of topics connected to food sensitivities - whether you have them or not, and how to build your tolerance.

We cover:

• Why Christa doesn't always recommend food restrictions if not needed for food sensitivity determination.
• Things can masquerade as food sensitivities but the root causes can be something else.
• It's never 'JUST' food that's the whole problem.
• Connection between stress, immune system and gut.
• Looking deeper than food sensitivities for root causes.
• Are itchy ears connected to food sensitivities?
• Mold toxicity.
• AIP - why do you often feel better? Is it the food protocol or something deeper going on?
• Gut-brain connection.
• Signs you aren't digesting well.
• If stress is too high, food restriction might be counterproductive.
• Adrenal connection to thyroid and gut.
• When high quality food sensitivity testing can be helpful.
• Difference between food sensitivities, intolerances and allergies.
• Leaky gut.
• When food restriction can be helpful.
• Immune memory to foods.
• Importance of doing symptom questionnaires.
• Brain symptoms connected to gluten more than digestive symptoms.
• Getting the best value from your health care.
