Would you put diesel gas in your car if it takes unleaded? We’re sure your answer to this question would be no and we’re pretty sure you all know why that wouldn’t work. So our question to you is why would you put unhealthy food in your body when it requires healthy vitamins, minerals and nutrients in order to thrive and thrive well.  Gas is the fuel your car needs to run appropriately just as healthy food is the fuel your body needs to run successfully.  So, would you believe us now if we said you are what you eat?

 
  Your body is always talking to you, giving you clues of what it likes and doesn’t like. Those headaches that you suffer from, the indigestion that you feel after a meal and those dark circles under your eyes you wake up to every morning are your body’s way to communicate to you that something you are putting into your body is something it doesn’t like.

 
When you continue to eat food that your body doesn’t like over and over again it becomes a food intolerance. A food intolerance is the inability to properly digest or fully process certain foods.  This inability to fully digest and process food can lead to chronic illness and misdiagnosed symptoms.  What is important for all of you to understand is that an intolerance can also take place from a food that is deemed healthy such as chicken, eggs, avocados etc.  One way of acquiring a food intolerance is from eating the same foods over and over.  
If you or someone you know are suffering from an illness that is not getting better, having difficulty losing weight or unexplained symptoms that bring on a malaise you may benefit from food intolerance testing.  If you would like more information about this subject call us for a consultation or join us for our upcoming lecture:  “You Are What You Eat” Saturday June 26th in our San Francisco location.
