Do you ever think your fatigue, mood swings, brain fog or skin flare-ups are āall in your headā? What if theyāre really in your cells? What if invisible inflammation is the culprit?
Hereās the truthāfood sensitivities = inflammation in the body = symptoms that feel mental, but are physical. ļæ¼

š Whatās going on under the hood?
⢠Sometimes a food that seems āhealthyā triggers an immune response without you noticingābecause reactions can be delayed by up to 72ā96 hours. ļæ¼
⢠These immune reactions release inflammatory mediators like histamines, cytokines, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins. 
⢠Over time, that silent inflammation shows up as fatigue, skin issues (eczema, rashes), joint pain, digestive upset, headaches or migraines, brain fog, or even mood shifts.

š” Why you feel the way you do
⢠Your body may be trying to tell you that something in your diet isnāt the right fit.
⢠You might assume itās stress or ājust aging,ā but it could be your immune system quietly over-reacting to something you consume regularly.
⢠Because symptoms arenāt immediate, itās easy to blame them on everything but what you eat.

What you can do about it
1. Track & Notice
Start a food-and-symptoms journal. When did you eat something? When did you feel awful? Look for patterns.
2. Consider Testing
Food sensitivity testing (like MRT / LEAP approaches used by Food Sensitivity Dietitian) helps you identify which foods your body might be reacting toāeven ones you think are āhealthy.ā ļæ¼
3. Work With Someone Who Understands
A dietitian trained in food sensitivities can help you craft a diet plan that reduces inflammation without unnecessary or overly restrictive restrictions.
