Did you know: Allergies affect your whole body?

When the body’s natural histamine response function kicks in, many other systems are affected. These systems include the immune and respiratory systems, liver, and adrenal glands. Building up defenses helps make sure these systems are working at optimal levels to support patient health.

How Each System is Affected:
Immune system—An environmental substance coming into contact with the body can create stress on the immune system.

Respiratory system—The histamine response function naturally causes muscle constriction in the lung’s bronchial tubes.

Liver—During a challenge, support for the liver encourages detoxification of the body.

Adrenal glands—If the body is under stress, adrenal glands secrete cortisol. This assists with the body’s natural response function and helps to combat the system’s interaction with environmental substances.

Make sure to follow me to learn about what whole food supplements I have to offer for allergy symptoms, or call and make an appointment!

How can Functional Nutrition help patients experiencing allergies?

By identifying the root causes, we can create an impact that can dramatically improve symptoms. As the result of an underlying immunological issue, allergic and atopic diseases increase inflammatory burden and can put you at risk for developing other conditions. With health resilience playing a crucial role in the outcome of disease, supporting the underlying causes of atopic diseases may strengthen the immune system response.

As seasonal irritants like pollen begin to emerge this spring, your body’s immune system could confuse allergy symptoms for a more serious illness and prevent a robust response to novel infections! Support can include appropriate laboratory testing, targeted supplementation, and steps to reduce gut inflammation.

Self-care reminder: Drink water 💧💧

Have you had enough water today? A good rule of thumb is half your body weight in ounces of water.

Are you drinking good water? Try to avoid drinking out of plastic. Plastic bottles can leach hormone disrupting chemicals into your water. 😮

Don't like water? Try adding an herbal tea bag or a splash of lemon to give your water some flavor. 🍋
