In just the past week, we’ve had 4 different conversations about food sensitivities, and what’s fascinating is how differently they show up in each person.
Food reactions don’t always look like stomach pain or results in hives like allergies might.
They can show up as:
• Bloating or constipation
• Skin flare-ups (eczema, rashes, acne)
• Headaches
• Brain fog or fatigue
• Mood shifts or irritability
• Joint discomfort
• Kids who can’t focus
• “Healthy” eaters who still don’t feel well
When families feel stuck, they often start eliminating foods randomly…and that can become frustrating fast. This is why we use functional food sensitivity testing in our office. Instead of guessing, we gather data. For many families, it’s been the missing piece that helps calm inflammation, support gut healing, and finally move forward with clarity.
It’s not about restriction, it’s about understanding what your body is communicating.
If you’ve ever thought:
“I eat clean… so why don’t I feel better?”
“My child seems sensitive to everything.”
“I feel inflamed and puffy no matter what I try.”
It might be worth looking deeper.
We put together helpful information about how this testing works and who it’s best for 👇

We’d love to hear — what symptoms have you noticed improve when you change your diet? Do you feel like certain foods affect you?
