tolerances different types of food and tolerances different types of food and tolerances and really just struggling day-to-day and really just struggling day-to-day and really just struggling day-to-day with what they are consuming and let with what they are consuming and let with what they are consuming and let alone also on top of that struggling alone also on top of that struggling alone also on top of that struggling with the change of seasons I know that with the change of seasons I know that with the change of seasons I know that there are a lot of people that are there are a lot of people that are there are a lot of people that are struggling with different types of struggling with different types of struggling with different types of seasonal allergies some people call them seasonal allergies some people call them seasonal allergies some people call them seasonal allergies but deal with them seasonal allergies but deal with them seasonal allergies but deal with them all year long and some people have it all year long and some people have it all year long and some people have it worse in the fall some people have it worse in the fall some people have it worse in the fall some people have it worse in the spring but overall it's worse in the spring but overall it's worse in the spring but overall it's really trying to understand you know really trying to understand you know really trying to understand you know what is going on in the body that is what is going on in the body that is what is going on in the body that is causing us to be triggered by these causing us to be triggered by these causing us to be triggered by these different types of environmental changes different types of environmental changes different types of environmental changes and also what is the major reason why so and also what is the major reason why so and also what is the major reason why so many people including children are many people including children are many people including children are struggling with what they can and cannot struggling with what they can and cannot struggling with what they can and cannot eat and it really comes back to you know eat and it really comes back to you know eat and it really comes back to you know what is going on with the food industry what is going on with the food industry what is going on with the food industry what is going on in our bodies and why what is going on in our bodies and why what is going on in our bodies and why are we so immune reactive so we really are we so immune reactive so we really are we so immune reactive so we really want to uncover some of the basic things want to uncover some of the basic things want to uncover some of the basic things about the limitations with testing about the limitations with testing about the limitations with testing because I know there are many of you because I know there are many of you because I know there are many of you that potentially have had food allergy that potentially have had food allergy that potentially have had food allergy testing and you feel confused about it testing and you feel confused about it testing and you feel confused about it you feel overwhelmed about it or you you feel overwhelmed about it or you you feel overwhelmed about it or you feel like it's not accurate so it's feel like it's not accurate so it's feel like it's not accurate so it's understanding some of the limitations understanding some of the limitations understanding some of the limitations there some of the better tests that are there some of the better tests that are there some of the better tests that are out there and in addition to what can we out there and in addition to what can we out there and in addition to what can we start doing about changing this dynamic start doing about changing this dynamic start doing about changing this dynamic and helping our bodies to be less or and helping our bodies to be less or and helping our bodies to be less or more tolerant and less sensitive and more tolerant and less sensitive and more tolerant and less sensitive and really what can we be doing to help our really what can we be doing to help our really what can we be doing to help our children from being so overly sensitive children from being so overly sensitive children from being so overly sensitive to a lot of the foods that are out there to a lot of the foods that are out there to a lot of the foods that are out there so as we get started I am on a webinar so as we get started I am on a webinar so as we get started I am

you guys today welcome for you guys today welcome for you guys today or this month it's all about allergies or this month it's all about allergies or this month it's all about allergies we are really helping you to understand we are really helping you to understand we are really helping you to understand more about allergies and really breaking more about allergies and really breaking more about allergies and really breaking through some of the false beliefs that through some of the false beliefs that through some of the false beliefs that you think that you just have to live you think that you just have to live you think that you just have to live with them I know many people just think with them I know many people just think with them I know many people just think that this is what it is for me and I that this is what it is for me and I that this is what it is for me and I just have to know how to navigate around just have to know how to navigate around just have to know how to navigate around it and we definitely work with has to it and we definitely work with has to it and we definitely work with has to work with allergies but allergy is is work with allergies but allergy is is work with allergies but allergy is is something that we've been faced with as something that we've been faced with as something that we've been faced with as integrative practitioners because there integrative practitioners because there integrative practitioners because there are so many people that are struggling are so many people that are struggling are so many people that are struggling with really overworked and taxed out with really overworked and taxed out with really overworked and taxed out immune systems so it's really helping to immune systems so it's really helping to immune systems so it's really helping to understand you know what is going on why understand you know what is going on why understand you know what is going on why why is that happening what is why is that happening what is why is that happening what is potentially things that we are being potentially things that we are being potentially things that we are being exposed to just in our food industry exposed to just in our food industry exposed to just in our food industry that are causing us to be so hyper that are causing us to be so hyper that are causing us to be so hyper reactive and really from day one myself reactive and really from day one myself reactive and really from day one myself and the other practitioners that I work and the other practitioners that I work and the other practitioners that I work with with with we've always questioned we've always we've always questioned we've always we've always questioned we've always kind of pressed the envelope and ask kind of pressed the envelope and ask kind of pressed the envelope and ask better questions instead of just saying better questions instead of just saying better questions instead of just saying well everybody has allergies and we just well everybody has allergies and we just well everybody has allergies and we just need to help them navigate around them need to help them navigate around them need to help them navigate around them it was always about figuring out why and it was always about figuring out why and it was always about figuring out why and also understanding that there is a also understanding that there is a also understanding that there is a variety of different systems that can variety of different systems that can variety of different systems that can actually uh really contribute to these actually uh really contribute to these actually uh really contribute to these sensitivities and allergies in addition sensitivities and allergies in addition sensitivities and allergies in addition it's not just oh you just have an it's not just oh you just have an it's not just oh you just have an allergy is called a day there is always allergy is called a day there is always allergy is called a day there is always going to be other systems that are going to be other systems that are going to be other systems that are involved in the immune system being involved in the immune system being involved in the immune system being super reactive so as we kind of super reactive so as we kind of super reactive so as we kind of understand a little bit more about understand a little bit more about understand a little bit more about allergies like I said before I don't allergies like I said before I don't allergies like I said before I don't just work with allergies I work with just work with allergies I work with just work with allergies I work with variety of different types of people but variety of different types of people but variety of different types of people but it's inevitable that I work with it's inevitable that I work with it's inevitable that I work with allergies to some capacity with all of allergies to some capacity with all of allergies to some capacity with all of my patients and it's primarily because my patients and it's primarily because my patients and it's primarily because if you are someone who has a history of if you are someone who has a history of if you are someone who has a history of Lyme disease maybe you're someone who Lyme disease maybe you're someone who Lyme disease maybe you're someone who has autoimmune conditions maybe you even has autoimmune conditions maybe you even has autoimmune conditions maybe you even have hormonal imbalances maybe you have have hormonal imbalances maybe you have have hormonal imbalances maybe you have irritable bowel syndrome all of those irritable bowel syndrome all of those irritable bowel syndrome all of those systems and all of those conditions are systems and all of those conditions are systems and all of those conditions are really representation that there is really representation that there is really representation that there is dysfunction in the body or there dysfunction in the body or there dysfunction in the body or there imbalances in the body and the more imbalances in the body and the more imbalances in the body and the more imbalances that we have the more imbalances that we have the more imbalances that we have the more immunoreactive we are and this can immunoreactive we are and this can immunoreactive we are and this can definitely be part of the Cascade effect definitely be part of the Cascade effect definitely be part of the Cascade effect that happens when it comes to the that happens when it comes to the that happens when it comes to the development of sensitivities and development of sensitivities and development of sensitivities and allergies the other thing that I do on allergies the other thing that I do on allergies the other thing that I do on all of my and all of my extra time is I all of my and all of my extra time is I all of my and all of my extra time is I run the Institute for Integrative run the Institute for Integrative run the Institute for Integrative Wellness which has been a recent thing Wellness which has been a recent thing Wellness which has been a recent thing that we have launched and it's very that we have launched and it's very that we have launched and it's very exciting because for those of you that exciting because for those of you that exciting because for those of you that are here listening to me now you're are here listening to me now you're are here listening to me now you're usually here because you're looking for usually here because you're looking for

took me you know nine years to really develop the approach years to really develop the approach years to really develop the approach that we have now and to understand why I that we have now and to understand why I that we have now and to understand why I hit plateaus with my patients I hit hit plateaus with my patients I hit hit plateaus with my patients I hit plateaus because it was a lack of plateaus because it was a lack of plateaus because it was a lack of information and it was a lack of information and it was a lack of information and it was a lack of information because I was assuming that information because I was assuming that information because I was assuming that I was gonna get everything I needed from I was gonna get everything I needed from I was gonna get everything I needed from the conventional test and I found that the conventional test and I found that the conventional test and I found that that was not always true and that was that was not always true and that was that was not always true and that was not always accurate and also too for not always accurate and also too for not always accurate and also too for myself I know that a lot of physicians myself I know that a lot of physicians myself I know that a lot of physicians you know they have that story that you you know they have that story that you you know they have that story

understanding as to give you a better understanding as to why you and your family might be why you and your family might be why you and your family might be struggling with allergies and what are struggling with allergies and what are struggling with allergies and what are some of the things that you can actually some of the things that you can actually some of the things that you can actually do about it without going potentially on do about it without going potentially on do about it without going potentially on an elimination diet for the rest of your an elimination diet for the rest of your an elimination diet for the rest of your life so first and foremost I think this life so first and foremost I think this life so first and foremost I think this is such an important point to make is is such an important point to make is is such an important point to make is that it's not your fault it's not your that it's not your fault it's not your that it's not your fault it's not your fault fault fault you potentially just gave birth and you you potentially just gave birth and you you potentially just gave birth and you have a baby that is allergic to every have a baby that is allergic to every have a baby that is allergic to every formula it is not your fault that you formula it is not your fault that you formula it is not your fault that you have kids that have to sit at the peanut have kids that have to sit at the peanut have kids that have to sit at the peanut butter free table it's not your fault butter free table it's not your fault butter free table it's not your fault that your kid has anaphylactic shock that your kid has anaphylactic shock that your kid has anaphylactic shock from eating certain things it's not your from eating certain things it's not your from eating certain things it's not your fault that you potentially have tried to fault that you potentially have tried to fault that you potentially have tried to do your best and get clean organic food do your best and get clean organic food do your best and get clean organic food in your house but your kids still have in your house but your kids still have in your house but your kids still have allergies allergies allergies or you've tried an elimination diet that or you've tried an elimination diet that or you've tried an elimination diet that you still don't feel well it's not you still don't feel well it's not you still don't feel well it's not necessarily always about elimination necessarily always about elimination necessarily always about elimination elimination elimination elimination there is usually a core route or a there is usually a core route or a there is usually a core route or a foundational problem that is being foundational problem that is being foundational problem that is being completely overlooked because if you completely overlooked because if you completely overlooked because if you suspect an allergy or sensitivity what suspect an allergy or sensitivity what suspect an allergy or sensitivity what you're doing first and foremost is you're doing first and foremost is you're doing first and foremost is you're usually going and getting a skin you're usually going and getting a skin you're usually going and getting a skin prick test you're getting a skin prick prick test you're getting a skin prick prick test you're getting a skin prick test test which is going to give you you test test which is going to give you you test test which is going to give you you know the information of what you need to know the information of what you need to know the information of what you need to avoid then you think I'm just gonna avoid then you think I'm just gonna avoid then you think I'm just gonna avoid that and my problems will be avoid that and my problems will be avoid that and my problems will be solved then if it doesn't work out that solved then if it doesn't work out that solved then if it doesn't work out that way then you go and get allergy shots way then you go and get allergy shots way then you go and get allergy shots for three four or five years and for three four or five years and for three four or five years and sometimes you still don't even have full sometimes you still don't even have full sometimes you still don't even have full resolution but nobody is telling you resolution but nobody is telling you resolution but nobody is telling you otherwise nobody is telling you to get a otherwise nobody is telling you to get a otherwise nobody is telling you to get a different test nobody is telling you different test nobody is telling you different test nobody is telling you that your gut might be causing it that your gut might be causing it that your gut might be causing it nobody is telling you that you might be nobody is telling you that you might be nobody is telling you that you might be toxic nobody is telling you these things toxic nobody is telling you these things toxic nobody is telling you these things so you usually get frustrated and you so you usually get frustrated and you so you usually get frustrated and you give up so today we're really trying to give up so today we're really trying to give up so today we're really trying to understand what are the things that understand what are the things that understand what are the things that nobody's talking about and what are the nobody's talking about and what are the nobody's talking about and what are the missing pieces so when we talk about missing pieces so when we talk about missing pieces so when we talk about this different concept of allergies and this different concept of allergies and this different concept of allergies and we talk about the root cause and we talk about the root cause and we talk about the root cause and allergies there's a couple of allergies there's a couple of allergies there's a couple of foundational things that you need to foundational things that you need to foundational things that you need to understand number one is that when we understand number one is that when we understand number one is that when we segregate out all of the body systems in segregate out all of the body systems in segregate out all of the body systems in traditional medicine or conventional traditional medicine or conventional traditional medicine or conventional medicine medicine medicine we assume that everything is working we assume that everything is working we assume that everything is working independent of each other we assume that independent of each other we assume that independent of each other we assume that the gut has nothing to do with the onset the gut has nothing to do with the onset the gut has nothing to do with the onset of allergies we assume that sinuses in of allergies we assume that sinuses in of allergies we assume that sinuses in seasonal allergies we assume that seasonal allergies we assume that seasonal allergies we assume that neurological system is not being neurological system is not being neurological system is not being affected by the allergies we just assume affected by the allergies we just assume affected by the allergies we just assume that everything is working independently that everything is working independently that everything is working independently of each other and that we have all these of each other and that we have all these of each other and that we have all these separate things going on and when we do separate things going on and when we do separate things going on and when we do this we actually ignore basic physiology this we actually ignore basic physiology this we actually ignore basic physiology we ignore the fact that everything is we ignore the fact that everything is we ignore the fact that everything is connected and one of the most basic connected and one of the most basic connected and one of the most basic concepts and concepts of this is that 90 concepts and concepts of this is that 90 concepts and concepts of this is that 90 to 95% of your serotonin which is your to 95% of your serotonin which is your to 95% of your serotonin which is your primary feel-good hormone that gives you primary feel-good hormone that gives you primary feel-good hormone that gives you joy it allows you to feel pleasure that joy it allows you to feel pleasure that joy it allows you to feel pleasure that hormone is made in your gut so if you hormone is made in your gut so if you hormone is made in your gut so if you have a patient who's dealing with have a patient who's dealing with have a patient who's dealing with depression and then you also have a depression and then you also have a depression and then you also have a patient who's dealing with irritable patient who's dealing with irritable patient who's dealing with irritable bowel syndrome but maybe they're bowel syndrome but maybe they're bowel syndrome but maybe they're irritable bowel isn't bad enough there irritable bowel isn't bad enough there irritable bowel isn't bad enough there is no reason to take action on it is no reason to take action on it is no reason to take action on it because it's just mild and it comes and because it's just mild and it comes and because it's just mild and it comes and goes then this patient potentially is goes then this patient potentially is goes then this patient potentially is being treated for a depression that is being treated for a depression that is being treated for a depression that is actually caused by their low-grade gut actually caused by their low-grade gut actually caused by their low-grade gut issues so the point of me telling you issues so the point of me telling you issues so the point of me telling you this is that there is a massive cascade this is that there is a massive cascade this is that there is a massive cascade effect that happens when there are effect that happens when there are effect that happens when there are toxicities when there are infections toxicities when there are infections toxicities when there are infections when there are foreign things in our when there are foreign things in our when there are foreign things in our bodies that are triggering our immune bodies that are triggering our immune bodies that are triggering our immune systems and then making us more systems and then making us more systems and then making us more susceptible to the development of in susceptible to the development of in susceptible to the development of in tolerances sensitivities and allergies tolerances sensitivities and allergies tolerances sensitivities and allergies so we need to stop looking at just so we need to stop looking at just so we need to stop looking at just chemistry and we need to look beyond chemistry and we need to look beyond chemistry and we need to look beyond that to get better information through that to get better information through that to get better information through better testing and be able to figure out better testing and be able to figure out better testing and be able to figure out what the actual root cause is so one of what the actual root cause is so one of what the actual root cause is so one of the really fascinating things that I the really fascinating things that I the really fascinating things that I wanted to talk about early on in this wanted to talk about early on in this wanted to talk about early on in this presentation is food allergies are not presentation is food allergies are not presentation is food allergies are not black and white literally it couldn't black and white literally it couldn't black and white literally it couldn't even be farther from being black and even be farther from being black and even be farther from being black and white so you go and get a test and your white so you go and get a test and your white so you go and get a test and your test is negative but you know that every test is negative but you know that every test is negative but you know that every time you eat that food it makes you feel time you eat that food it makes you feel time you eat that food it makes you feel crappy in addition to that we also crappy in addition to that we also crappy in addition to that we also notice sometimes that we have an issue notice sometimes that we have an issue notice sometimes that we have an issue with a cooked food but don't have the with a cooked food but don't have the with a cooked food but don't have the issue with the raw food issue with the raw food issue with the raw food vice versa so just you know there are vice versa so just you know there are vice versa so just you know there are tests out there that actually break down tests out there that actually break down tests out there that actually break down food and evaluate it cooked versus raw food and evaluate it cooked versus raw food and evaluate it cooked versus raw even the breakdown of the food all the even the breakdown of the food all the even the breakdown of the food all the way down to its peptide level so I'm way down to its peptide level so I'm way down to its peptide level so I'm gonna try to keep this as simple as gonna try to keep this as simple as gonna try to keep this as simple as possible you have a protein breaks down possible you have a protein breaks down possible you have a protein breaks down into amino acid and breaks down into a into amino acid and breaks down into a into amino acid and breaks down into a peptide so you could be reacting to a peptide so you could be reacting to a peptide so you could be reacting to a peptide that is then causing you to feel peptide that is then causing you to feel peptide that is then causing you to feel not well from the consumption of the not well from the consumption of the not well from the consumption of the food protein but when you do the test on food protein but when you do the test on food protein but when you do the test on the food protein it comes up negative so the food protein it comes up negative so the food protein it comes up negative so then you're super confused because then you're super confused because then you're super confused because you're like well I eat the meat and it you're like well I eat the meat and it you're like well I eat the meat and it makes me feel bad but technically I'm makes me feel bad but technically I'm makes me feel bad but technically I'm not allergic to it so again this could not allergic to it so again this could not allergic to it so again this could not be further from being black and not be further from being black and not be further from being black and white there is a lot of gray when it white there is a lot of gray when it white there is a lot of gray when it comes to food allergies and food allergy comes to food allergies and food allergy comes to food allergies and food allergy testing so like I said is you might be testing so like I said is you might be testing so like I said is you might be having an allergy to the peptide so having an allergy to the peptide so having an allergy to the peptide so which is like the breakdown of the food which is like the breakdown of the food which is like the breakdown of the food protein so if that's the case you might protein so if that's the case you might protein so if that's the case you might actually be having an issue with a actually be having an issue with a actually be having an issue with a variety of different foods that share variety of different foods that share variety of different foods that share that peptide so this gets really that peptide so this gets really that peptide so this gets really confusing because people get so confusing because people get so confusing because people get so overwhelmed and frustrated and they're overwhelmed and frustrated and they're overwhelmed and frustrated and they're like I'm allergic to everything I can't like I'm allergic to everything I can't like I'm allergic to everything I can't even drink water anymore I feel like my even drink water anymore I feel like my even drink water anymore I feel like my body is reacting to everything and body is reacting to everything and body is reacting to everything and really what it comes down to is that you really what it comes down to is that you really what it comes down to is that you might actually be reacting to the might actually be reacting to the might actually be reacting to the peptide and not necessarily the food peptide and not necessarily the food peptide and not necessarily the food protein allergies can start in the womb protein allergies can start in the womb protein allergies can start in the womb so I will give you an example here so so I will give you an example here so so I will give you an example here so there are many I've worked with many there are many I've worked with many there are many I've worked with many young patients literally in their young patients literally in their young patients literally in their infancy and it's primarily because we've infancy and it's primarily because we've infancy and it's primarily because we've worked with parents and then there they worked with parents and then there they worked with parents and then there they have they give birth to the child and have they give birth to the child and have they give birth to the child and the child is having massive intolerances the child is having massive intolerances the child is having massive intolerances two types of formulas they might even be two types of formulas they might even be two types of formulas they might even be having intolerance as to the breast milk having intolerance as to the breast milk having intolerance as to the breast milk and then what happens as it turns out and then what happens as it turns out and then what happens as it turns out that they are dealing with an issue - that they are dealing with an issue - that they are dealing with an issue - dairy or they're dealing with an issue - dairy or they're dealing with an issue - dairy or they're dealing with an issue - to mold so what happens is is that if to mold so what happens is is that if to mold so what happens is is that if mom had some type of mom had some type of mom had some type of intolerance that maybe she was not aware intolerance that maybe she was not aware intolerance that maybe she was not aware of the symptoms and then she kept of the symptoms and then she kept of the symptoms and then she kept consuming that food through her consuming that food through her consuming that food through her pregnancy this is very common dairy by pregnancy this is very common dairy by pregnancy this is very common dairy by the way that then the child is going to the way that then the child is going to the way that then the child is going to be intolerant to dairy and then maybe be intolerant to dairy and then maybe be intolerant to dairy and then maybe you're gonna do formula and your child you're gonna do formula and your child you're gonna do formula and your child is spitting up or having colic and it's is spitting up or having colic and it's is spitting up or having colic and it's because they have an intolerance to the because they have an intolerance to the because they have an intolerance to the dairy another really common one is that dairy another really common one is that dairy another really common one is that when kids are very young maybe they're when kids are very young maybe they're when kids are very young maybe they're you know below the age of 1 years old you know below the age of 1 years old you know below the age of 1 years old and they're getting ear infections and and they're getting ear infections and and they're getting ear infections and they're getting ear infections and they're getting ear infections and they're getting ear infections and what's happening is that their parents what's happening is that their parents what's happening is that their parents are obviously going to give them an are obviously going to give them an are obviously going to give them an antibiotic and then it turns out that antibiotic and then it turns out that antibiotic and then it turns out that they have an allergic reaction to either they have an allergic reaction to either they have an allergic reaction to either penicillin or amoxicillin so if mom had penicillin or amoxicillin so if mom had penicillin or amoxicillin so if mom had toxic mold in her body then that is toxic mold in her body then that is toxic mold in her body then that is actually what makes these children actually what makes these children actually what makes these children reactive to these antibiotics so most reactive to these antibiotics so most reactive to these antibiotics so most antibiotics including penicillin and antibiotics including penicillin and antibiotics including penicillin and amoxicillin and ampicillin they are amoxicillin and ampicillin they are amoxicillin and ampicillin they are actually derived from Penicillium mold actually derived from Penicillium mold actually derived from Penicillium mold so by mom having multiplicity that then so by mom having multiplicity that then so by mom having multiplicity that then get passed to the child that actually get passed to the child that actually get passed to the child that actually will then cause a reactivity to the will then cause a reactivity to the will then cause a reactivity to the antibiotic so I think that this is such antibiotic so I think that this is such antibiotic so I think that this is such an important point because you cannot an important point because you cannot an important point because you cannot have an allergy to something that you do have an allergy to something that you do have an allergy to something that you do not have a that you have not had not have a that you have not had not have a that you have not had exposure to so the only way that you can exposure to so the only way that you can exposure to so the only way that you can have a allergy is if you've had an have a allergy is if you've had an have a allergy is if you've had an antibody that has built up against antibody that has built up against antibody that has built up against something that you've been exposed to so something that you've been exposed to so something that you've been exposed to so it's impossible to have an allergy or it's impossible to have an allergy or it's impossible to have an allergy or sensitivity to something that is not in sensitivity to something that is not in sensitivity to something that is not in a toxic amount in the body and again a toxic amount in the body and again a toxic amount in the body and again when it comes to the environmental when it comes to the environmental when it comes to the environmental allergy is this this principle holds allergy is this this principle holds allergy is this this principle holds true because if you have been exposed to true because if you have been exposed to true because if you have been exposed to toxic mold and maybe it was in the womb toxic mold and maybe it was in the womb toxic mold and maybe it was in the womb maybe it was due to antibiotic use as a maybe it was due to antibiotic use as a maybe it was due to antibiotic use as a young child then that young child then that young child then that definitely going to be a catalyst to the definitely going to be a catalyst to the definitely going to be a catalyst to the development of environmental allergies development of environmental allergies development of environmental allergies as well the other thing too is that we as well the other thing too is that we as well the other thing too is that we assume oh I just have allergies well you assume oh I just have allergies well you assume oh I just have allergies well you know I just got to deal with it but if know I just got to deal with it but if know I just got to deal with it but if you have allergies what that's really you have allergies what that's really you have allergies what that's really telling us is that you have a telling us is that you have a telling us is that you have a hyperactive immune system so the hyper hyperactive immune system so the hyper hyperactive immune system so the hyper hyper reactivity of your immune system hyper reactivity of your immune system hyper reactivity of your immune system is really an indicator that your immune is really an indicator that your immune is really an indicator that your immune system is pretty stressed which is very system is pretty stressed which is very system is pretty stressed which is very difficult for your body to be healthy in difficult for your body to be healthy in difficult for your body to be healthy in the event that there is chronic the event that there is chronic the event that there is chronic inflammation due to half of inflammation due to half of inflammation due to half of over-reactive your immune system is so over-reactive your immune system is so over-reactive your immune system is so we need to get away from this thinking we need to get away from this thinking we need to get away from this thinking oh it's just allergies no big deal oh it's just allergies no big deal oh it's just allergies no big deal instead of thinking what is going on instead of thinking what is going on instead of thinking what is going on with my system that is causing my immune with my system that is causing my immune with my system that is causing my immune system to be so hyper reactive the system to be so hyper reactive the system to be so hyper reactive the biggest one that I think people are biggest one that I think people are biggest one that I think people are always shocked about is that you don't always shocked about is that you don't always shocked about is that you don't have to live with allergies forever if have to live with allergies forever if have to live with allergies forever if you actually have the tools and you have you actually have the tools and you have you actually have the tools and you have a skilled physician to help to figure a skilled physician to help to figure a skilled physician to help to figure out what is the root cause of these out what is the root cause of these out what is the root cause of these allergies and sensitivities then you can allergies and sensitivities then you can allergies and sensitivities then you can definitely have your body completely definitely have your body completely definitely have your body completely rebound from these allergies and rebound from these allergies and rebound from these allergies and sensitivities you know when we're sensitivities you know when we're sensitivities you know when we're talking about sensitivities that is talking about sensitivities that is talking about sensitivities that is obviously a lot easier to work with obviously a lot easier to work with obviously a lot easier to work with not every child is going to be able to not every child is going to be able to not every child is going to be able to fully recover from the anaphylactic fully recover from the anaphylactic fully recover from the anaphylactic immediate onset throat closing situation immediate onset throat closing situation immediate onset throat closing situation but when you're having more of a delayed but when you're having more of a delayed but when you're having more of a delayed onset type of reaction those are things onset type of reaction those are things onset type of reaction those are things that once you remove the foundational that once you remove the foundational that once you remove the foundational stress the body can fully recover from stress the body can fully recover from stress the body can fully recover from so there's some really like staggering so there's some really like staggering so there's some really like staggering statistics when it comes to the epidemic statistics when it comes to the epidemic statistics when it comes to the epidemic of allergies but what I think was the of allergies but what I think was the of allergies but what I think was the most astounding on this slide is that most astounding on this slide is that most astounding on this slide is that there has been a 50% increase in food there has been a 50% increase in food there has been a 50% increase in food allergies in children between 1997 and allergies in children between 1997 and allergies in children between 1997 and 2011 that is a huge number that is a 2011 that is a huge number that is a 2011 that is a huge number that is a massive percentage so we're literally massive percentage so we're literally massive percentage so we're literally talking about a huge jump in a very talking about a huge jump in a very talking about a huge jump in a very short amount of short amount of short amount of time so when it comes to these food time so when it comes to these food time so when it comes to these food allergies we have to start asking why allergies we have to start asking why allergies we have to start asking why why has this become such a significant why has this become such a significant why has this become such a significant issue and when it just comes to the issue and when it just comes to the issue and when it just comes to the anaphylactic that's the immediate onset anaphylactic that's the immediate onset anaphylactic that's the immediate onset throat closing can't breathe situation throat closing can't breathe situation throat closing can't breathe situation 30,000 emergency visits a year in 30,000 emergency visits a year in 30,000 emergency visits a year in addition to that is a hundred and fifty addition to that is a hundred and fifty addition to that is a hundred and fifty deaths like that is just so unbelievably deaths like that is just so unbelievably deaths like that is just so unbelievably heartbreaking that we have not been able heartbreaking that we have not been able heartbreaking that we have not been able to you know get a handle on this that to you know get a handle on this that to you know get a handle on this that we're still having deaths due to this we're still having deaths due to this we're still having deaths due to this type of immune response so we really type of immune response so we really type of immune response so we really again need to start understanding this again need to start understanding this again need to start understanding this more in-depth as to why and the types of more in-depth as to why and the types of more in-depth as to why and the types of foods that are causing these allergies foods that are causing these allergies foods that are causing these allergies are are growing so at this point in time are are growing so at this point in time are are growing so at this point in time peanuts peanuts peanuts eggs shellfish cow's milk tree nut meat eggs shellfish cow's milk tree nut meat eggs shellfish cow's milk tree nut meat fish soy so some of the craziest things fish soy so some of the craziest things fish soy so some of the craziest things about some of these foods is that when about some of these foods is that when about some of these foods is that when it comes to peanuts tree nuts wheat and it comes to peanuts tree nuts wheat and it comes to peanuts tree nuts wheat and soy those books are all classic foods so soy those books are all classic foods so soy those books are all classic foods so when these foods grow they actually have when these foods grow they actually have when these foods grow they actually have a tendency to get invaded by fungus so a tendency to get invaded by fungus so a tendency to get invaded by fungus so fungus is in the same family as mold so fungus is in the same family as mold so fungus is in the same family as mold so sometimes it's because of a reaction or sometimes it's because of a reaction or sometimes it's because of a reaction or a toxicity of the fungus that people are a toxicity of the fungus that people are a toxicity of the fungus that people are starting to react to these foods in starting to react to these foods in starting to react to these foods in addition to that when we're talking addition to that when we're talking addition to that when we're talking about fish and shellfish shellfish about fish and shellfish shellfish about fish and shellfish shellfish particularly is a filter feeder so it is particularly is a filter feeder so it is particularly is a filter feeder so it is literally filtering out out the the literally filtering out out the the literally filtering out out the the toxicity of our ocean so sometimes we're toxicity of our ocean so sometimes we're toxicity of our ocean so sometimes we're not really reaction to the shellfish not really reaction to the shellfish not really reaction to the shellfish we're reacting to the toxicity of the we're reacting to the toxicity of the we're reacting to the toxicity of the shellfish so there is a lot of things to shellfish so there is a lot of things to shellfish so there is a lot of things to be considered with these foods is that be considered with these foods is that be considered with these foods is that the food is that the protein of the food the food is that the protein of the food the food is that the protein of the food is it something that is on the food is is it something that is on the food is is it something that is on the food is it pesticides or herbicides that we're it pesticides or herbicides that we're it pesticides or herbicides that we're spraying onto the spraying onto the spraying onto the crops is it going to be the fact that crops is it going to be the fact that crops is it going to be the fact that the cow was consuming tons of corn is it the cow was consuming tons of corn is it the cow was consuming tons of corn is it because the cow is also fed tons of meat because the cow is also fed tons of meat because the cow is also fed tons of meat and are we reacting to the cow's milk and are we reacting to the cow's milk and are we reacting to the cow's milk are we reacting to the feed of the are we reacting to the feed of the are we reacting to the feed of the animal so these are all things that are animal so these are all things that are animal so these are all things that are very cross reactive that have to be very cross reactive that have to be very cross reactive that have to be considered in understanding these food considered in understanding these food considered in understanding these food allergies so again I mentioned earlier allergies so again I mentioned earlier allergies so again I mentioned earlier that a lot of you might be familiar with that a lot of you might be familiar with that a lot of you might be familiar with the skin prick test and it's something the skin prick test and it's something the skin prick test and it's something that you may have done for yourself and that you may have done for yourself and that you may have done for yourself and something you may have done for your something you may have done for your something you may have done for your child to help understand you know do child to help understand you know do child to help understand you know do they truly have food allergies but the they truly have food allergies but the they truly have food allergies but the point of me wanting to give you point of me wanting to give you point of me wanting to give you information about this task is that information about this task is that information about this task is that there is a lot of probability for false there is a lot of probability for false there is a lot of probability for false positives so the reason being the positives so the reason being the positives so the reason being the biggest reason is the food extracts that biggest reason is the food extracts that biggest reason is the food extracts that are being put into the skin or onto the are being put into the skin or onto the are being put into the skin or onto the skin are not standardized so if you go skin are not standardized so if you go skin are not standardized so if you go to two different doctors you might have to two different doctors you might have to two different doctors you might have two different results because the two different results because the two different results because the standard of the wheat extract that they standard of the wheat extract that they standard of the wheat extract that they put onto the skin is not going to be the put onto the skin is not going to be the put onto the skin is not going to be the same in both doctors offices because same in both doctors offices because same in both doctors offices because there is no standard for it so they there is no standard for it so they there is no standard for it so they could easily be purchasing those food could easily be purchasing those food could easily be purchasing those food extracts from two different companies extracts from two different companies extracts from two different companies that they're the the extracts are that they're the the extracts are that they're the the extracts are completely different in addition to that completely different in addition to that completely different in addition to that there is a lot of room for error so if there is a lot of room for error so if there is a lot of room for error so if they are putting the the skin prick if they are putting the the skin prick if they are putting the the skin prick if they're doing the skin prick closer than they're doing the skin prick closer than they're doing the skin prick closer than two centimeters then you're gonna easily two centimeters then you're gonna easily two centimeters then you're gonna easily start to have a lot of cross start to have a lot of cross start to have a lot of cross contamination and cross reactivity so contamination and cross reactivity so contamination and cross reactivity so you could easily have false positives you could easily have false positives you could easily have false positives due to the positioning of the skin prick due to the positioning of the skin prick due to the positioning of the skin prick in addition to the use of the food in addition to the use of the food in addition to the use of the food extracts so the point of this is that extracts so the point of this is that extracts so the point of this is that there is a lot of room for error when it there is a lot of room for error when it there is a lot of room for error when it comes to this test and you can easily comes to this test and you can easily comes to this test and you can easily walk away from this test feeling so walk away from this test feeling so walk away from this test feeling so overwhelmed because you're thinking oh overwhelmed because you're thinking oh overwhelmed because you're thinking oh my gosh I'm allergic to everything like my gosh I'm allergic to everything like my gosh I'm allergic to everything like how am I going to live my how am I going to live my how am I going to live my but it's because of some of the error but it's because of some of the error but it's because of some of the error and the lack of standardization when it and the lack of standardization when it and the lack of standardization when it comes to the food extracts this is a bit comes to the food extracts this is a bit comes to the food extracts this is a bit less common but one of the other routes less common but one of the other routes less common but one of the other routes that they use in conventional medicine that they use in conventional medicine that they use in conventional medicine is going to be the oral food challenge is going to be the oral food challenge is going to be the oral food challenge you actually have to be hospitalized for you actually have to be hospitalized for you actually have to be hospitalized for this because in case you do have an this because in case you do have an this because in case you do have an anaphylactic shock they are going to anaphylactic shock they are going to anaphylactic shock they are going to obviously have to medicate you to get obviously have to medicate you to get obviously have to medicate you to get you obviously out of that anaphylactic you obviously out of that anaphylactic you obviously out of that anaphylactic reaction so with that being said there reaction so with that being said there reaction so with that being said there is definitely a lot of Route rule is definitely a lot of Route rule is definitely a lot of Route rule there's a lot of risk and there's a lot there's a lot of risk and there's a lot there's a lot of risk and there's a lot of room for false positives and this can of room for false positives and this can of room for false positives and this can be due to things that the person has be due to things that the person has be due to things that the person has actually ingested within a few days actually ingested within a few days actually ingested within a few days leading up to the test it also can be if leading up to the test it also can be if leading up to the test it also can be if someone's avoiding a certain food and someone's avoiding a certain food and someone's avoiding a certain food and then introduces the food they might not then introduces the food they might not then introduces the food they might not necessarily have immediate reaction necessarily have immediate reaction necessarily have immediate reaction there's can also be skewed by there's can also be skewed by there's can also be skewed by medications supplements there is a lot medications supplements there is a lot medications supplements there is a lot of room for error with this test as well of room for error with this test as well of room for error with this test as well so with that being said is we have to so with that being said is we have to so with that being said is we have to also understand that this might not be also understand that this might not be also understand that this might not be giving us the information that we are giving us the information that we are giving us the information that we are looking for so one thing that I think is looking for so one thing that I think is looking for so one thing that I think is off the radar quite often when it comes off the radar quite often when it comes off the radar quite often when it comes to food allergies is the actual health to food allergies is the actual health to food allergies is the actual health of these sinuses and the tonsils so many of these sinuses and the tonsils so many of these sinuses and the tonsils so many kids are actually dealing with major kids are actually dealing with major kids are actually dealing with major issues with their sinuses ear infections issues with their sinuses ear infections issues with their sinuses ear infections tonsillitis strep throat and a lot of tonsillitis strep throat and a lot of tonsillitis strep throat and a lot of these kids are getting their tonsils these kids are getting their tonsils these kids are getting their tonsils removed due to the chronic infections removed due to the chronic infections removed due to the chronic infections but what's very fascinating about the but what's very fascinating about the but what's very fascinating about the tonsils is that the tonsils are actually tonsils is that the tonsils are actually tonsils is that the tonsils are actually the major detoxification I should the major detoxification I should the major detoxification I should rephrase that so the the neurological rephrase that so the the neurological rephrase that so the the neurological system the primary way that it detox is system the primary way that it detox is system the primary way that it detox is is by dumping toxins into the veins of is by dumping toxins into the veins of is by dumping toxins into the veins of the head and neck and those toxins get the head and neck and those toxins get the head and neck and those toxins get dumped into the tonsils and the length dumped into the tonsils and the length dumped into the tonsils and the length of the head and neck so what happens is of the head and neck so what happens is of the head and neck so what happens is if you have a lot of overload in the if you have a lot of overload in the if you have a lot of overload in the tonsils due to reoccurring infections or tonsils due to reoccurring infections or tonsils due to reoccurring infections or also due to sinus drainage into the also due to sinus drainage into the also due to sinus drainage into the tonsils we can actually be causing a tonsils we can actually be causing a tonsils we can actually be causing a higher risk for allergies we can also be higher risk for allergies we can also be higher risk for allergies we can also be causing a higher risk for a DD and ADHD causing a higher risk for a DD and ADHD causing a higher risk for a DD and ADHD because if all of this is congested because if all of this is congested because if all of this is congested we're gonna have a lot of backup of we're gonna have a lot of backup of we're gonna have a lot of backup of these toxins getting into the these toxins getting into the these toxins getting into the neurological system so the body is so neurological system so the body is so neurological system so the body is so intricate and how it Detox's and in intricate and how it Detox's and in intricate and how it Detox's and in every organ serves a purpose because so every organ serves a purpose because so every organ serves a purpose because so many doctors say you don't really need many doctors say you don't really need many doctors say you don't really need tonsils you only need one kidney tonsils you only need one kidney tonsils you only need one kidney we don't even know what the appendix we don't even know what the appendix we don't even know what the appendix does it's not an important organ but does it's not an important organ but does it's not an important organ but what's fascinating is your tonsils your what's fascinating is your tonsils your what's fascinating is your tonsils your spleen your appendix are actually all spleen your appendix are actually all spleen your appendix are actually all part of your immune system so it's very part of your immune system so it's very part of your immune system so it's very important that if your child is important that if your child is important that if your child is suffering with massive allergy issues suffering with massive allergy issues suffering with massive allergy issues but they also have a lot of tonsil but they also have a lot of tonsil but they also have a lot of tonsil issues and they've had tons of sore issues and they've had tons of sore issues and they've had tons of sore throats strep throat we need to consider throats strep throat we need to consider throats strep throat we need to consider how these are playing into each other how these are playing into each other how these are playing into each other and how having continually large tonsils and how having continually large tonsils and how having continually large tonsils can actually further perpetuate more and can actually further perpetuate more and can actually further perpetuate more and more food allergies so I had a patient more food allergies so I had a patient more food allergies so I had a patient presenting with an allergy to penicillin presenting with an allergy to penicillin presenting with an allergy to penicillin and ten terrible seasonal allergies so I and ten terrible seasonal allergies so I and ten terrible seasonal allergies so I could have mentioned this earlier but could have mentioned this earlier but could have mentioned this earlier but just to reiterate so when we're dealing just to reiterate so when we're dealing just to reiterate so when we're dealing with seasonal allergy is again we just with seasonal allergy is again we just with seasonal allergy is again we just kind of think oh well you know I'm kind of think oh well you know I'm kind of think oh well you know I'm having a reaction to the different having a reaction to the different having a reaction to the different pollens and this is pretty normal but a pollens and this is pretty normal but a pollens and this is pretty normal but a lot of the pollens and danders that come lot of the pollens and danders that come lot of the pollens and danders that come from both trees and animals are very from both trees and animals are very from both trees and animals are very similar similar similar under a microscope to molds so when you under a microscope to molds so when you under a microscope to molds so when you are a child and you are dealing with are a child and you are dealing with are a child and you are dealing with common cold ear infections sore throat common cold ear infections sore throat common cold ear infections sore throat sinus issues upper respiratory urinary sinus issues upper respiratory urinary sinus issues upper respiratory urinary tract infections whatever it is for you tract infections whatever it is for you tract infections whatever it is for you and you get prescribed different types and you get prescribed different types and you get prescribed different types of antibiotics so you get prescribed of antibiotics so you get prescribed of antibiotics so you get prescribed different types of antibiotics different types of antibiotics different types of antibiotics and most of those antibiotics are and most of those antibiotics are and most of those antibiotics are derived from mold so penicillin derived from mold so penicillin derived from mold so penicillin amoxicillin and ampicillin are actually amoxicillin and ampicillin are actually amoxicillin and ampicillin are actually made from a mold called Penicillium so made from a mold called Penicillium so made from a mold called Penicillium so with that being said is that if you have with that being said is that if you have with that being said is that if you have had high amounts of antibiotics as a kid had high amounts of antibiotics as a kid had high amounts of antibiotics as a kid or you grew up in a water damaged house or you grew up in a water damaged house or you grew up in a water damaged house building there was water in the basement building there was water in the basement building there was water in the basement a leak etc then you potentially can be a leak etc then you potentially can be a leak etc then you potentially can be exposed to toxic levels of mold so as exposed to toxic levels of mold so as exposed to toxic levels of mold so as you are exposed to toxic levels of mold you are exposed to toxic levels of mold you are exposed to toxic levels of mold your immune system build antibodies from your immune system build antibodies from your immune system build antibodies from there you now have an allergy to there you now have an allergy to there you now have an allergy to penicillin penicillin penicillin because it's all in the same family so because it's all in the same family so because it's all in the same family so again because those molds actually are again because those molds actually are again because those molds actually are very cross reactive to different types very cross reactive to different types very cross reactive to different types of pollens and danders now you start to of pollens and danders now you start to of pollens and danders now you start to have seasonal allergies and maybe they have seasonal allergies and maybe they have seasonal allergies and maybe they potentially get worse every year so potentially get worse every year so potentially get worse every year so there is a huge huge connection to there is a huge huge connection to there is a huge huge connection to having high levels of toxic mold in the having high levels of toxic mold in the having high levels of toxic mold in the body that can be a contributing factor body that can be a contributing factor body that can be a contributing factor to your seasonal allergies so myth to your seasonal allergies so myth to your seasonal allergies so myth number one food allergies are an number one food allergies are an number one food allergies are an epidemic globally so for the most part epidemic globally so for the most part epidemic globally so for the most part food allergies are an epidemic in the food allergies are an epidemic in the food allergies are an epidemic in the u.s. many of my patients we have a u.s. many of my patients we have a u.s. many of my patients we have a conversation about the things that they conversation about the things that they conversation about the things that they really need to you know give a break to really need to you know give a break to really need to you know give a break to and I say it that way because my goal and I say it that way because my goal and I say it that way because my goal for my patients is not that they're for my patients is not that they're for my patients is not that they're gonna have to go under elimination diet gonna have to go under elimination diet gonna have to go under elimination diet for the rest of their lives and not for the rest of their lives and not for the rest of their lives and not they're gonna you don't have to avoid a they're gonna you don't have to avoid a they're gonna you don't have to avoid a category of foods for the rest of their category of foods for the rest of their category of foods for the rest of their lives my goal is to fix the root cause lives my goal is to fix the root cause lives my goal is to fix the root cause fix the foundation so that they can fix the foundation so that they can fix the foundation so that they can obviously go back to eating a balanced obviously go back to eating a balanced obviously go back to eating a balanced diet don't get me wrong diet don't get me wrong diet don't get me wrong gluten in the u.s. is crap so I think gluten in the u.s. is crap so I think gluten in the u.s. is crap so I think all of us should really make an effort all of us should really make an effort all of us should really make an effort to avoid it to the best of our to avoid it to the best of our to avoid it to the best of our capacities but often when we have the capacities but often when we have the capacities but often when we have the conversation about gluten because people conversation about gluten because people conversation about gluten because people hear how it's really not great they say hear how it's really not great they say hear how it's really not great they say you know I'm so stressed I'm going to go you know I'm so stressed I'm going to go you know I'm so stressed I'm going to go to Europe and I'm going to to Europe and I'm going to to Europe and I'm going to I really want to eat pasta I'm so sad I really want to eat pasta I'm so sad I really want to eat pasta I'm so sad because I know that you said I shouldn't because I know that you said I shouldn't because I know that you said I shouldn't eat blue egg and I usually respond with eat blue egg and I usually respond with eat blue egg and I usually respond with eat it because you'll probably be fine eat it because you'll probably be fine eat it because you'll probably be fine I've even had someone who technically I've even had someone who technically I've even had someone who technically had celiac that didn't respond to gluten had celiac that didn't respond to gluten had celiac that didn't respond to gluten while they were in so anything if that's while they were in so anything if that's while they were in so anything if that's creme so in the u.s. our wheat is very creme so in the u.s. our wheat is very creme so in the u.s. our wheat is very altered and what I mean by that is altered and what I mean by that is altered and what I mean by that is they've taken various strains of meat they've taken various strains of meat they've taken various strains of meat and hybridize them they've hybridized and hybridize them they've hybridized and hybridize them they've hybridized the wheat in order to make it grow the wheat in order to make it grow the wheat in order to make it grow bigger and faster so with that being bigger and faster so with that being bigger and faster so with that being said most of the wheat that we are said most of the wheat that we are said most of the wheat that we are consuming is completely hybridized and consuming is completely hybridized and consuming is completely hybridized and it is not your ancient meat anymore in it is not your ancient meat anymore in it is not your ancient meat anymore in addition to that we also alter the wheat addition to that we also alter the wheat addition to that we also alter the wheat by a process called d imitation by a process called d imitation by a process called d imitation so most wheat is alcohol soluble so you so most wheat is alcohol soluble so you so most wheat is alcohol soluble so you also probably hear how there's gluten in also probably hear how there's gluten in also probably hear how there's gluten in weird things there's gluten in your soy weird things there's gluten in your soy weird things there's gluten in your soy sauce there's gluten in your your sauce there's gluten in your your sauce there's gluten in your your chicken from chase sauce there's cookin chicken from chase sauce there's cookin chicken from chase sauce there's cookin in your salad dressing there's gluten in your salad dressing there's gluten in your salad dressing there's gluten you know in a variety of different you know in a variety of different you know in a variety of different things that you don't always think about things that you don't always think about things that you don't always think about so the reason why gluten is in so many so the reason why gluten is in so many so the reason why gluten is in so many of these miscellaneous items or even of these miscellaneous items or even of these miscellaneous items or even condiments is because when they take condiments is because when they take condiments is because when they take gluten through this deamination process gluten through this deamination process gluten through this deamination process what they do is they take gluten from what they do is they take gluten from what they do is they take gluten from being alcohol soluble and when they DM being alcohol soluble and when they DM being alcohol soluble and when they DM innate it they switch it to being water innate it they switch it to being water innate it they switch it to being water soluble so when the gluten is then water soluble so when the gluten is then water soluble so when the gluten is then water soluble it can actually be mixed into a soluble it can actually be mixed into a soluble it can actually be mixed into a variety of different types of foods to variety of different types of foods to variety of different types of foods to act as a filler and to also act as a act as a filler and to also act as a act as a filler and to also act as a thickener so they do this specifically thickener so they do this specifically thickener so they do this specifically to be a cheap ingredient in a variety of to be a cheap ingredient in a variety of to be a cheap ingredient in a variety of different different condiments and other different different condiments and other different different condiments and other types of ingredients but in addition to types of ingredients but in addition to types of ingredients but in addition to that when you go through that that when you go through that that when you go through that deamination process from water or deamination process from water or deamination process from water or alcohol soluble to water soluble this is alcohol soluble to water soluble this is alcohol soluble to water soluble this is actually one of the the biggest immune actually one of the the biggest immune actually one of the the biggest immune system system system so they actually find that the fact that so they actually find that the fact that so they actually find that the fact that the wheat is hybridized in addition to the wheat is hybridized in addition to the wheat is hybridized in addition to this DM nation process this is one of this DM nation process this is one of this DM nation process this is one of the major or both of the major reasons the major or both of the major reasons the major or both of the major reasons why people are so immune reactive to why people are so immune reactive to why people are so immune reactive to gluten and for those of you that are gluten and for those of you that are gluten and for those of you that are listening right now thinking like oh listening right now thinking like oh listening right now thinking like oh well food doesn't hurt my stomach and I well food doesn't hurt my stomach and I well food doesn't hurt my stomach and I definitely don't have a problem with it definitely don't have a problem with it definitely don't have a problem with it I know that I was in denial for a long I know that I was in denial for a long I know that I was in denial for a long time I definitely have zero gut time I definitely have zero gut time I definitely have zero gut complaints when I eat gluten but when I complaints when I eat gluten but when I complaints when I eat gluten but when I started to be honest with myself and I started to be honest with myself and I started to be honest with myself and I started to pay attention what I realized started to pay attention what I realized started to pay attention what I realized is that it actually made me fatigued and is that it actually made me fatigued and is that it actually made me fatigued and it gave me brain fog not the same day it gave me brain fog not the same day it gave me brain fog not the same day but the next day so don't always be but the next day so don't always be but the next day so don't always be thinking about a gastrointestinal thinking about a gastrointestinal thinking about a gastrointestinal response when it comes to food allergies response when it comes to food allergies response when it comes to food allergies you need to also start thinking about am you need to also start thinking about am you need to also start thinking about am I having a neurological response I having a neurological response I having a neurological response am I having inflammatory response are am I having inflammatory response are am I having inflammatory response are your joints hurting after you eat your joints hurting after you eat your joints hurting after you eat certain things so the other big thing certain things so the other big thing certain things so the other big thing about gluten that I talked about in a about gluten that I talked about in a about gluten that I talked about in a previous podcast or I'm sorry as previous podcast or I'm sorry as previous podcast or I'm sorry as previous webinar and podcast actually previous webinar and podcast actually previous webinar and podcast actually but I talked a lot about celiac disease but I talked a lot about celiac disease but I talked a lot about celiac disease being connected to a very specific being connected to a very specific being connected to a very specific chemical called glyphosate so glyphosate chemical called glyphosate so glyphosate chemical called glyphosate so glyphosate is the primary ingredient in roundup yes is the primary ingredient in roundup yes is the primary ingredient in roundup yes roundup the things that you kill your roundup the things that you kill your roundup the things that you kill your weeds with roundup is actually being weeds with roundup is actually being weeds with roundup is actually being sprayed on the majority of our produce sprayed on the majority of our produce sprayed on the majority of our produce and the majority of the produce that are and the majority of the produce that are and the majority of the produce that are being sold in all of our grocery stores being sold in all of our grocery stores being sold in all of our grocery stores so unfortunately there is not one of you so unfortunately there is not one of you so unfortunately there is not one of you that are listening that do not have some that are listening that do not have some that are listening that do not have some level of glyphosate poisoning or level of glyphosate poisoning or level of glyphosate poisoning or toxicity it is inevitable that we are toxicity it is inevitable that we are toxicity it is inevitable that we are all being exposed and the glyphosate is all being exposed and the glyphosate is all being exposed and the glyphosate is now been linked in the research again now been linked in the research again now been linked in the research again not my opinion this is proven research not my opinion this is proven research not my opinion this is proven research that Clay Fauci is destroying the that Clay Fauci is destroying the that Clay Fauci is destroying the microvilli of your gut and one of the microvilli of your gut and one of the microvilli of your gut and one of the leading causes of celiac disease so we leading causes of celiac disease so we leading causes of celiac disease so we really have to ask ourselves are we really have to ask ourselves are we really have to ask ourselves are we allergic to wheat or we sensitive to allergic to wheat or we sensitive to allergic to wheat or we sensitive to wheat or are we allergic or sensitive wheat or are we allergic or sensitive wheat or are we allergic or sensitive ah see so this is extremely important to ah see so this is extremely important to ah see so this is extremely important to take into consideration because when you take into consideration because when you take into consideration because when you go to Europe and you're tolerating the go to Europe and you're tolerating the go to Europe and you're tolerating the week just fine chances are you're not week just fine chances are you're not week just fine chances are you're not really reacting to the protein or the really reacting to the protein or the really reacting to the protein or the even the peptide chances are in the u.s. even the peptide chances are in the u.s. even the peptide chances are in the u.s. you're reacting to the chemicals that you're reacting to the chemicals that you're reacting to the chemicals that are on the beat so when it comes to are on the beat so when it comes to are on the beat so when it comes to wheat yes there are sprouted in organic wheat yes there are sprouted in organic wheat yes there are sprouted in organic and better versions but for the most and better versions but for the most and better versions but for the most part it is very very difficult to find part it is very very difficult to find part it is very very difficult to find pure ancient wheat in the u.s. another pure ancient wheat in the u.s. another pure ancient wheat in the u.s. another big myth is that allergies happen after big myth is that allergies happen after big myth is that allergies happen after the introduction of table food so there the introduction of table food so there the introduction of table food so there is a big difference between formula and is a big difference between formula and is a big difference between formula and breastfeeding and I know that some kids breastfeeding and I know that some kids breastfeeding and I know that some kids actually even react to breastfeeding as actually even react to breastfeeding as actually even react to breastfeeding as well but the thing that you want to well but the thing that you want to well but the thing that you want to understand about baby formula this was understand about baby formula this was understand about baby formula this was kind of just even a couple of weeks ago kind of just even a couple of weeks ago kind of just even a couple of weeks ago a very good friend of mine she came to a very good friend of mine she came to a very good friend of mine she came to me because she has a newborn and he was me because she has a newborn and he was me because she has a newborn and he was reacting to his formula reacting to his formula reacting to his formula she had a specific condition that she she had a specific condition that she she had a specific condition that she was not it wasn't in her best interest was not it wasn't in her best interest was not it wasn't in her best interest to breastfeed so she opted to to breastfeed so she opted to to breastfeed so she opted to bottle-feed and he was having reflux so bottle-feed and he was having reflux so bottle-feed and he was having reflux so then they recommended a specific type of then they recommended a specific type of then they recommended a specific type of formula that was supposed to be more formula that was supposed to be more formula that was supposed to be more gentle and as he came into the practice gentle and as he came into the practice gentle and as he came into the practice and I did a couple of tests on the baby and I did a couple of tests on the baby and I did a couple of tests on the baby the first thing that presented itself the first thing that presented itself the first thing that presented itself was an intolerance to condensed milk was an intolerance to condensed milk was an intolerance to condensed milk nutrition condensed milk nutrition is a nutrition condensed milk nutrition is a nutrition condensed milk nutrition is a primary ingredient in baby formula in primary ingredient in baby formula in primary ingredient in baby formula in addition to that the first ingredient of addition to that the first ingredient of addition to that the first ingredient of this gnat or this gentle baby formula this gnat or this gentle baby formula this gnat or this gentle baby formula was hydrolyzed corn maltodextrin if you was hydrolyzed corn maltodextrin if you was hydrolyzed corn maltodextrin if you were to google that it is literally were to google that it is literally were to google that it is literally carcinogenic it is as toxic as it gets carcinogenic it is as toxic as it gets carcinogenic it is as toxic as it gets so guys you need to really be careful so guys you need to really be careful so guys you need to really be careful with what you're giving your children with what you're giving your children with what you're giving your children you need to be careful what your you need to be careful what your you need to be careful what your children are giving their children these children are giving their children these children are giving their children these baby formulas have so many toxins baby formulas have so many toxins baby formulas have so many toxins cross-contamination and ingredients that cross-contamination and ingredients that cross-contamination and ingredients that if you if you if you were to start breaking them down and were to start breaking them down and were to start breaking them down and researching them you'd be completely researching them you'd be completely researching them you'd be completely horrified so with that these are horrified so with that these are horrified so with that these are children that are having these allergies children that are having these allergies children that are having these allergies so so early on and you might be thinking so so early on and you might be thinking so so early on and you might be thinking like how does an infant already have an like how does an infant already have an like how does an infant already have an allergy or intolerance and a lot of allergy or intolerance and a lot of allergy or intolerance and a lot of times this can come from antibodies that times this can come from antibodies that times this can come from antibodies that were already built up in mom's body and were already built up in mom's body and were already built up in mom's body and there are other factors that have to be there are other factors that have to be there are other factors that have to be considered with was the baby did the considered with was the baby did the considered with was the baby did the baby was the baby a natural birth did baby was the baby a natural birth did baby was the baby a natural birth did the baby go through the birth canal and the baby go through the birth canal and the baby go through the birth canal and get exposed to all of that good bacteria get exposed to all of that good bacteria get exposed to all of that good bacteria was the baby exposed to bad bacteria was the baby exposed to bad bacteria was the baby exposed to bad bacteria like Group B Strep so this specific like Group B Strep so this specific like Group B Strep so this specific child was not only reacting to the child was not only reacting to the child was not only reacting to the condensed milk nutrition but was also condensed milk nutrition but was also condensed milk nutrition but was also reacting to some of the reacting to some of the reacting to some of the cross-contamination of molds in the cross-contamination of molds in the cross-contamination of molds in the formulas yes there's mold in your baby formulas yes there's mold in your baby formulas yes there's mold in your baby I'm starting to horrify all of you but I'm starting to horrify all of you but I'm starting to horrify all of you but the reason being is because the baby was the reason being is because the baby was the reason being is because the baby was pumped full of antibiotics because mom pumped full of antibiotics because mom pumped full of antibiotics because mom had Group B Strep so this already had Group B Strep so this already had Group B Strep so this already potentially exposed the baby to molds potentially exposed the baby to molds potentially exposed the baby to molds because that is how these antibiotics because that is how these antibiotics because that is how these antibiotics are made so there are so many things are made so there are so many things are made so there are so many things that have to be taken into consideration that have to be taken into consideration that have to be taken into consideration when your child is having allergies or when your child is having allergies or when your child is having allergies or intolerances at such a young age the intolerances at such a young age the intolerances at such a young age the other most common thing that I am other most common thing that I am other most common thing that I am hearing is that the onset of the allergy hearing is that the onset of the allergy hearing is that the onset of the allergy is were at the two-year-old mark and is were at the two-year-old mark and is were at the two-year-old mark and what is happening is that there is with what is happening is that there is with what is happening is that there is with the introduction of certain vaccines a the introduction of certain vaccines a the introduction of certain vaccines a lot of these vaccines have peanut oil in lot of these vaccines have peanut oil in lot of these vaccines have peanut oil in them and the peanut oil is there as a them and the peanut oil is there as a them and the peanut oil is there as a preservative so the peanut oil in the preservative so the peanut oil in the preservative so the peanut oil in the vaccines is definitely can be tied to vaccines is definitely can be tied to vaccines is definitely can be tied to why some of these kids are developing why some of these kids are developing why some of these kids are developing reactions to peanuts in the first place reactions to peanuts in the first place reactions to peanuts in the first place because this is an epidemic at this because this is an epidemic at this because this is an epidemic at this point with how many kids are dealing point with how many kids are dealing point with how many kids are dealing with peanut allergies so there with peanut allergies so there with peanut allergies so there definitely has to be other components definitely has to be other components definitely has to be other components that can that can that can from you to that but if the baby's from you to that but if the baby's from you to that but if the baby's immune system is already being triggered immune system is already being triggered immune system is already being triggered maybe because of the exposure to the maybe because of the exposure to the maybe because of the exposure to the Group B Strep going through the birth Group B Strep going through the birth Group B Strep going through the birth canal maybe because the baby has already canal maybe because the baby has already canal maybe because the baby has already been given antibiotics to the ear been given antibiotics to the ear been given antibiotics to the ear infections in addition maybe the baby is infections in addition maybe the baby is infections in addition maybe the baby is reacting to the different ingredients in reacting to the different ingredients in reacting to the different ingredients in the formula all of those compounding the formula all of those compounding the formula all of those compounding factors and then we introduced vaccines factors and then we introduced vaccines factors and then we introduced vaccines that are potentially added adding more that are potentially added adding more that are potentially added adding more stress to the system in that current stress to the system in that current stress to the system in that current moment and this can definitely trigger moment and this can definitely trigger moment and this can definitely trigger this peanut intolerance as well so the this peanut intolerance as well so the this peanut intolerance as well so the big one is that we always assume that big one is that we always assume that big one is that we always assume that our testing is accurate we always assume our testing is accurate we always assume our testing is accurate we always assume that our blood test is giving us all the that our blood test is giving us all the that our blood test is giving us all the information that we need we always information that we need we always information that we need we always assume that even the the skin prick test assume that even the the skin prick test assume that even the the skin prick test is giving us all the information that we is giving us all the information that we is giving us all the information that we need but what I've realized over time need but what I've realized over time need but what I've realized over time and this is not just about food allergy and this is not just about food allergy and this is not just about food allergy testing this is also about all different testing this is also about all different testing this is also about all different types of testing is that there is so types of testing is that there is so types of testing is that there is so much room for human error there is a much room for human error there is a much room for human error there is a process that has to be that these tests process that has to be that these tests process that has to be that these tests have to be taken through so if you go have to be taken through so if you go have to be taken through so if you go get a blood test depending on how long get a blood test depending on how long get a blood test depending on how long the blood sat there if the blood was fun the blood sat there if the blood was fun the blood sat there if the blood was fun properly if it was stored at the right properly if it was stored at the right properly if it was stored at the right temperature if it was transported at the temperature if it was transported at the temperature if it was transported at the right temperature if they added the right temperature if they added the right temperature if they added the proper reagents to it if they skip this proper reagents to it if they skip this proper reagents to it if they skip this step because they forgot a step out they step because they forgot a step out they step because they forgot a step out they were processing it so you can easily were processing it so you can easily were processing it so you can easily have results that say no you don't have have results that say no you don't have have results that say no you don't have an allergy but in reality you do because an allergy but in reality you do because an allergy but in reality you do because there is room for error depending on how there is room for error depending on how there is room for error depending on how these samples are being handled in these samples are being handled in these samples are being handled in addition to that is we need to stop addition to that is we need to stop addition to that is we need to stop looking at the food protein we need to looking at the food protein we need to looking at the food protein we need to start breaking the food down into its start breaking the food down into its start breaking the food down into its peptide level so that we understand the peptide level so that we understand the peptide level so that we understand the bigger picture so the primary lab that I bigger picture so the primary lab that I bigger picture so the primary lab that I gravitate towards because I think that gravitate towards because I think that gravitate towards because I think that they are pioneering they are pioneering they are pioneering in food allergy testing is vibrant in food allergy testing is vibrant in food allergy testing is vibrant America vibrant America number one has America vibrant America number one has America vibrant America number one has to automate it their process they've to automate it their process they've to automate it their process they've taken humans and lab technicians out of taken humans and lab technicians out of taken humans and lab technicians out of it so your samples are actually all it so your samples are actually all it so your samples are actually all processed through automation through processed through automation through processed through automation through artificial intelligence in addition to artificial intelligence in addition to artificial intelligence in addition to that they have also taken your sample that they have also taken your sample that they have also taken your sample and they break everything down and test and they break everything down and test and they break everything down and test it down to the peptide level so they are it down to the peptide level so they are it down to the peptide level so they are literally breaking it down to be literally breaking it down to be literally breaking it down to be extremely specific and also to extremely specific and also to extremely specific and also to understand are you reacting to a variety understand are you reacting to a variety understand are you reacting to a variety of different foods because of an issue of different foods because of an issue of different foods because of an issue with the peptide so this is really one with the peptide so this is really one with the peptide so this is really one of the tasks that is giving you the most of the tasks that is giving you the most of the tasks that is giving you the most accurate information to truly know where accurate information to truly know where accurate information to truly know where you fall when it comes to food allergies you fall when it comes to food allergies you fall when it comes to food allergies and even environmental allergies as well and even environmental allergies as well and even environmental allergies as well the other big thing that I think people the other big thing that I think people the other big thing that I think people need to be clear on is that there are need to be clear on is that there are need to be clear on is that there are all different types of allergies there all different types of allergies there all different types of allergies there are all different types of sensitivities are all different types of sensitivities are all different types of sensitivities so when I say allergy I know that there so when I say allergy I know that there so when I say allergy I know that there this term is kind of bastardized but an this term is kind of bastardized but an this term is kind of bastardized but an allergy is the immediate onset throat allergy is the immediate onset throat allergy is the immediate onset throat closing situation a sensitivity Falls closing situation a sensitivity Falls closing situation a sensitivity Falls more in the IgG or IgE antibodies so more in the IgG or IgE antibodies so more in the IgG or IgE antibodies so when you get a test back that's when you get a test back that's when you get a test back that's revealing IgG what that's actually revealing IgG what that's actually revealing IgG what that's actually telling you is that you're the delayed telling you is that you're the delayed telling you is that you're the delayed onset sensitivity so you might be eating onset sensitivity so you might be eating onset sensitivity so you might be eating the gluten and two days later feel tired the gluten and two days later feel tired the gluten and two days later feel tired or foggy or you know your stomach is or foggy or you know your stomach is or foggy or you know your stomach is upset but you're not gonna feel it that upset but you're not gonna feel it that upset but you're not gonna feel it that same day you're not gonna feel it same day you're not gonna feel it same day you're not gonna feel it immediately at all IgA is even more immediately at all IgA is even more immediately at all IgA is even more confusing because this is showing that confusing because this is showing that confusing because this is showing that there is a response in your mucous there is a response in your mucous there is a response in your mucous membranes so you hear all the time membranes so you hear all the time membranes so you hear all the time people say oh I eat dairy and I get people say oh I eat dairy and I get people say oh I eat dairy and I get slummy slummy slummy or I get congested so that's more of an or I get congested so that's more of an or I get congested so that's more of an IgA response because you're having an IgA response because you're having an IgA response because you're having an inflammatory response in the mucous inflammatory response in the mucous inflammatory response in the mucous membranes or you're even having that membranes or you're even having that membranes or you're even having that response in the mucosa of your response in the mucosa of your response in the mucosa of your so you might be having inflammation in so you might be having inflammation in so you might be having inflammation in your gut that's making you get bloated your gut that's making you get bloated your gut that's making you get bloated but again it's having days later but again it's having days later but again it's having days later so you just are ripping your hair out so you just are ripping your hair out so you just are ripping your hair out being like what did I eat today I don't being like what did I eat today I don't being like what did I eat today I don't even know I ate chicken for the past two even know I ate chicken for the past two even know I ate chicken for the past two days like why would I react to the days like why would I react to the days like why would I react to the chicken today and it's not the chicken chicken today and it's not the chicken chicken today and it's not the chicken that you ate it's what you ate three that you ate it's what you ate three that you ate it's what you ate three days ago so you have to be able to know days ago so you have to be able to know days ago so you have to be able to know how these tests me to be interpreted how these tests me to be interpreted how these tests me to be interpreted because most of the time if you're because most of the time if you're because most of the time if you're requesting getting food allergy testing requesting getting food allergy testing requesting getting food allergy testing through your primary care physician through your primary care physician through your primary care physician they're gonna run a really basic IgE they're gonna run a really basic IgE they're gonna run a really basic IgE panel and again the IgE is the immediate panel and again the IgE is the immediate panel and again the IgE is the immediate onset throat closing situation most onset throat closing situation most onset throat closing situation most people are dealing with the delayed people are dealing with the delayed people are dealing with the delayed onset reaction by the way don't go to onset reaction by the way don't go to onset reaction by the way don't go to your doctor and ask them to run i GG your doctor and ask them to run i GG your doctor and ask them to run i GG because you will be charged I made this because you will be charged I made this because you will be charged I made this mistake so IgG is not covered by mistake so IgG is not covered by mistake so IgG is not covered by insurance quite often so it's best for insurance quite often so it's best for insurance quite often so it's best for you to just use a separate lab and get you to just use a separate lab and get you to just use a separate lab and get the foods tested that you need to get the foods tested that you need to get the foods tested that you need to get tested so like if you use vibrant tested so like if you use vibrant tested so like if you use vibrant America they you know it's gonna cost America they you know it's gonna cost America they you know it's gonna cost you anywhere between two to four hundred you anywhere between two to four hundred you anywhere between two to four hundred dollars depending on how many foods you dollars depending on how many foods you dollars depending on how many foods you need to be run but there's no surprises need to be run but there's no surprises need to be run but there's no surprises because it actually cost you $90 per because it actually cost you $90 per because it actually cost you $90 per food to to test through like LabCorp food to to test through like LabCorp food to to test through like LabCorp request so don't make that mistake so request so don't make that mistake so request so don't make that mistake so another big thing is that when people another big thing is that when people another big thing is that when people are there feel like their allergies are are there feel like their allergies are are there feel like their allergies are progressing over time they literally progressing over time they literally progressing over time they literally just got to the point without alerts to just got to the point without alerts to just got to the point without alerts to everything I don't even know to eat everything I don't even know to eat everything I don't even know to eat anymore anymore anymore drinking water is bothering me but again drinking water is bothering me but again drinking water is bothering me but again this can get really really confusing this can get really really confusing this can get really really confusing because of cross reactivity because of cross reactivity because of cross reactivity cross-pollination and even rotation of cross-pollination and even rotation of cross-pollination and even rotation of crops so I'll give you an example I crops so I'll give you an example I crops so I'll give you an example I remember for the longest time not remember for the longest time not remember for the longest time not understanding why they would say gluten understanding why they would say gluten understanding why they would say gluten free oats Oh naturally are gluten free free oats Oh naturally are gluten free free oats Oh naturally are gluten free and I was like I wonder if it's a and I was like I wonder if it's a and I was like I wonder if it's a contamination in the manufacturing plant contamination in the manufacturing plant contamination in the manufacturing plant and it's actually not that it's actually and it's actually not that it's actually and it's actually not that it's actually the rotation of crops so very often in the rotation of crops so very often in the rotation of crops so very often in the fields where they grow wheat after the fields where they grow wheat after the fields where they grow wheat after the wheat is harvested they actually the wheat is harvested they actually the wheat is harvested they actually then grow oats in the same field so then grow oats in the same field so then grow oats in the same field so there is a lot of issues with there is a lot of issues with there is a lot of issues with contamination across Polynesia so in contamination across Polynesia so in contamination across Polynesia so in addition to that the cross-reactivity addition to that the cross-reactivity addition to that the cross-reactivity conversation so this is kind of what I conversation so this is kind of what I conversation so this is kind of what I was saying about the whole mold was saying about the whole mold was saying about the whole mold conversation so some of the foods that conversation so some of the foods that conversation so some of the foods that grow and have a susceptibility to fungus grow and have a susceptibility to fungus grow and have a susceptibility to fungus is gonna be grapes so think of wine is gonna be grapes so think of wine is gonna be grapes so think of wine wheat corn soy rice all of these foods wheat corn soy rice all of these foods wheat corn soy rice all of these foods in their growing process have a in their growing process have a in their growing process have a susceptibility to fungus so you would susceptibility to fungus so you would susceptibility to fungus so you would hope that they are monitoring and not hope that they are monitoring and not hope that they are monitoring and not necessarily harvesting these crops that necessarily harvesting these crops that necessarily harvesting these crops that have been infected with the fungus but have been infected with the fungus but have been infected with the fungus but you will be surprised that they do so you will be surprised that they do so you will be surprised that they do so sometimes if they're infected with sometimes if they're infected with sometimes if they're infected with fungus like mold sometimes they won't fungus like mold sometimes they won't fungus like mold sometimes they won't harvest it and sell it to us at the harvest it and sell it to us at the harvest it and sell it to us at the grocery store but they'll use it for grocery store but they'll use it for grocery store but they'll use it for feed for the animals so either way you feed for the animals so either way you feed for the animals so either way you could be a vegetarian you could be a could be a vegetarian you could be a could be a vegetarian you could be a meat-eater chances are you're still meat-eater chances are you're still meat-eater chances are you're still getting exposed to these different types getting exposed to these different types getting exposed to these different types of fungus through the foods that you're of fungus through the foods that you're of fungus through the foods that you're eating so then you had you're eating eating so then you had you're eating eating so then you had you're eating these foods you're getting exposed to these foods you're getting exposed to these foods you're getting exposed to the mold the mold is getting in your the mold the mold is getting in your the mold the mold is getting in your body maybe now you get diagnosed with body maybe now you get diagnosed with body maybe now you get diagnosed with Candida maybe you're getting really Candida maybe you're getting really Candida maybe you're getting really bloated maybe you have a fleets foot bloated maybe you have a fleets foot bloated maybe you have a fleets foot maybe you have yeast infections as a maybe you have yeast infections as a maybe you have yeast infections as a female maybe you're getting skin rashes female maybe you're getting skin rashes female maybe you're getting skin rashes all of these are fungal issues so now all of these are fungal issues so now all of these are fungal issues so now all of a sudden you start to have all of a sudden you start to have all of a sudden you start to have seasonal allergies merely where the heck seasonal allergies merely where the heck seasonal allergies merely where the heck did this come from did this come from did this come from and it's because now your immune system and it's because now your immune system and it's because now your immune system has started to react to the mold that's has started to react to the mold that's has started to react to the mold that's in your body from the foods but now it's in your body from the foods but now it's in your body from the foods but now it's gonna react to the pollens and the gonna react to the pollens and the gonna react to the pollens and the danders and the molds that are on trees danders and the molds that are on trees danders and the molds that are on trees and bushes so you can tell that it and bushes so you can tell that it and bushes so you can tell that it becomes quite a significant cascade becomes quite a significant cascade becomes quite a significant cascade effect that happens so again this is not effect that happens so again this is not effect that happens so again this is not about manage the allergies manage the about manage the allergies manage the about manage the allergies manage the allergy is it's about get rid of the allergy is it's about get rid of the allergy is it's about get rid of the stuff that's in your body that should stuff that's in your body that should stuff that's in your body that should not be there get the mold out of the not be there get the mold out of the not be there get the mold out of the body start to clean up the foods that body start to clean up the foods that body start to clean up the foods that you you you consuming so you're not continually consuming so you're not continually consuming so you're not continually being exposed and get the pathways that being exposed and get the pathways that being exposed and get the pathways that help you detox working more optimally help you detox working more optimally help you detox working more optimally again because that the thing is the more again because that the thing is the more again because that the thing is the more and more junk we're exposed to the less and more junk we're exposed to the less and more junk we're exposed to the less resilient our bodies are so the famous resilient our bodies are so the famous resilient our bodies are so the famous example that I use is that when you you example that I use is that when you you example that I use is that when you you know you're young and you go out and you know you're young and you go out and you know you're young and you go out and you know you have drinks with your friends know you have drinks with your friends know you have drinks with your friends and then you know you wake up the next and then you know you wake up the next and then you know you wake up the next day and you go to work and you do your day and you go to work and you do your day and you go to work and you do your thing and you feel fine the older we get thing and you feel fine the older we get thing and you feel fine the older we get you know we're like oh gosh I had a you know we're like oh gosh I had a you know we're like oh gosh I had a glass of wine and I'm hungover for three glass of wine and I'm hungover for three glass of wine and I'm hungover for three days so that is an indicator that your days so that is an indicator that your days so that is an indicator that your body isn't as resilient as it used to be body isn't as resilient as it used to be body isn't as resilient as it used to be and it's not because you're old it's and it's not because you're old it's and it's not because you're old it's because the major filter filtration because the major filter filtration because the major filter filtration pathways like your liver are not pathways like your liver are not pathways like your liver are not filtering the way that they used to and filtering the way that they used to and filtering the way that they used to and a lot of times those pathways become a lot of times those pathways become a lot of times those pathways become compromised because of the things you're compromised because of the things you're compromised because of the things you're being exposed to from an environmental being exposed to from an environmental being exposed to from an environmental standpoint so this is going to be standpoint so this is going to be standpoint so this is going to be pesticides herbicides mold toxins pesticides herbicides mold toxins pesticides herbicides mold toxins infections viruses all of these things infections viruses all of these things infections viruses all of these things are contributing factors to further are contributing factors to further are contributing factors to further compromising how well our bodies get rid compromising how well our bodies get rid compromising how well our bodies get rid of the bad stuff so sometimes you just of the bad stuff so sometimes you just of the bad stuff so sometimes you just go in you clean up those systems and you go in you clean up those systems and you go in you clean up those systems and you decrease the reactivity of the immune decrease the reactivity of the immune decrease the reactivity of the immune system and you find that you can system and you find that you can system and you find that you can actually balance out a lot of the actually balance out a lot of the actually balance out a lot of the allergies that you have so this is kind allergies that you have so this is kind allergies that you have so this is kind of like a prime example of a patient so of like a prime example of a patient so of like a prime example of a patient so this patient was getting to the point this patient was getting to the point this patient was getting to the point that they were literally bloated with that they were literally bloated with that they were literally bloated with water and this person had a history of water and this person had a history of water and this person had a history of irritable bowel syndrome they also had irritable bowel syndrome they also had irritable bowel syndrome they also had elevated eosinophil in the blood they elevated eosinophil in the blood they elevated eosinophil in the blood they were non celiac but definitely had were non celiac but definitely had were non celiac but definitely had gluten intolerance bloating with most gluten intolerance bloating with most gluten intolerance bloating with most carbohydrates it really didn't matter carbohydrates it really didn't matter carbohydrates it really didn't matter what they were consuming it wasn't just what they were consuming it wasn't just what they were consuming it wasn't just about the wheat but just blown it with about the wheat but just blown it with about the wheat but just blown it with everything from rice corn or other types everything from rice corn or other types everything from rice corn or other types of carbs and then they were having a lot of carbs and then they were having a lot of carbs and then they were having a lot of issue of issue of issue like how well their blood sugar was like how well their blood sugar was like how well their blood sugar was being regulated so really just to kind being regulated so really just to kind being regulated so really just to kind of like understand how this all plays in of like understand how this all plays in of like understand how this all plays in with each other so number one is that with each other so number one is that with each other so number one is that elevated eosinophils this is something elevated eosinophils this is something elevated eosinophils this is something that comes up in people's blood work and that comes up in people's blood work and that comes up in people's blood work and it's usually not communicated with them it's usually not communicated with them it's usually not communicated with them like what does this actually mean so for like what does this actually mean so for like what does this actually mean so for the longest time when I was in school the longest time when I was in school the longest time when I was in school they taught us that if you're incentive they taught us that if you're incentive they taught us that if you're incentive those are high then that is an indicator those are high then that is an indicator those are high then that is an indicator of allergies but really what it is is of allergies but really what it is is of allergies but really what it is is that there is parasite infections that that there is parasite infections that that there is parasite infections that come from contaminated water can come come from contaminated water can come come from contaminated water can come from your pets looking at you in your from your pets looking at you in your from your pets looking at you in your face comes from sushi so you guys that face comes from sushi so you guys that face comes from sushi so you guys that get into your gastrointestinal system get into your gastrointestinal system get into your gastrointestinal system this starts to elevate the eosinophils this starts to elevate the eosinophils this starts to elevate the eosinophils which then triggers an allergy response which then triggers an allergy response which then triggers an allergy response so this specific person they were so this specific person they were so this specific person they were dealing with irritable bowel but it was dealing with irritable bowel but it was dealing with irritable bowel but it was primarily because they had parasite primarily because they had parasite primarily because they had parasite infections from their long-standing infections from their long-standing infections from their long-standing sushi consumption in addition to that sushi consumption in addition to that sushi consumption in addition to that they had glyphosate toxicity from the they had glyphosate toxicity from the they had glyphosate toxicity from the consumption of non-organic foods which consumption of non-organic foods which consumption of non-organic foods which then led them to have this issue with then led them to have this issue with then led them to have this issue with wheat in the first place and again it wheat in the first place and again it wheat in the first place and again it wasn't really a true allergy to wheat it wasn't really a true allergy to wheat it wasn't really a true allergy to wheat it was more so they were in they were was more so they were in they were was more so they were in they were tolerating the wheat because of the tolerating the wheat because of the tolerating the wheat because of the chemicals that were in the gut at this chemicals that were in the gut at this chemicals that were in the gut at this point so between the parasitic infection point so between the parasitic infection point so between the parasitic infection the glyphosate toxicity of the gut this the glyphosate toxicity of the gut this the glyphosate toxicity of the gut this was starting to really throw off the was starting to really throw off the was starting to really throw off the blood sugar because your intestines work blood sugar because your intestines work blood sugar because your intestines work hand-in-hand with your pancreas which hand-in-hand with your pancreas which hand-in-hand with your pancreas which regulates your blood sugar and then it regulates your blood sugar and then it regulates your blood sugar and then it also because the the chemical toxicity also because the the chemical toxicity also because the the chemical toxicity was such a big part of the puzzle for was such a big part of the puzzle for was such a big part of the puzzle for this person then now they started to this person then now they started to this person then now they started to just get irritated by most of the things just get irritated by most of the things just get irritated by most of the things they were consuming because it wasn't they were consuming because it wasn't they were consuming because it wasn't about the food or the water it was about about the food or the water it was about about the food or the water it was about the chemical reaction the chemical reaction the chemical reaction so that's the thing you hear it all the so that's the thing you hear it all the so that's the thing you hear it all the time oh I only react to fruits that have time oh I only react to fruits that have time oh I only react to fruits that have skin so if I eat the skin of the Apple skin so if I eat the skin of the Apple skin so if I eat the skin of the Apple I don't feel well but if I take the skin I don't feel well but if I take the skin I don't feel well but if I take the skin off of the apple I'm okay you're not off of the apple I'm okay you're not off of the apple I'm okay you're not reacting to the skin you're reacting to reacting to the skin you're reacting to reacting to the skin you're reacting to the chemicals on the skin like you would the chemicals on the skin like you would the chemicals on the skin like you would be horrified if I even got halfway into be horrified if I even got halfway into be horrified if I even got halfway into what they do to the food like they put what they do to the food like they put what they do to the food like they put wax on the apples to make them look wax on the apples to make them look wax on the apples to make them look shiny so that you're more inclined to shiny so that you're more inclined to shiny so that you're more inclined to buy them there is 262 different types of buy them there is 262 different types of buy them there is 262 different types of pesticides herbicides and fungicides pesticides herbicides and fungicides pesticides herbicides and fungicides that are used on our produce and these that are used on our produce and these that are used on our produce and these are things that create toxicity in our are things that create toxicity in our are things that create toxicity in our bodies which make us more immune bodies which make us more immune bodies which make us more immune reactive and then cause us to react to reactive and then cause us to react to reactive and then cause us to react to so many different types of foods because so many different types of foods because so many different types of foods because again some about the food is about the again some about the food is about the again some about the food is about the chemicals on the foods so I mentioned chemicals on the foods so I mentioned chemicals on the foods so I mentioned this prior is that we assume that this prior is that we assume that this prior is that we assume that allergies are just allergies and that allergies are just allergies and that allergies are just allergies and that allergies actually are not a reflection allergies actually are not a reflection allergies actually are not a reflection of our overall health but with that the of our overall health but with that the of our overall health but with that the primary thing is if your immune system primary thing is if your immune system primary thing is if your immune system is very reactive and it's reacting to is very reactive and it's reacting to is very reactive and it's reacting to environmental toxicities it's in environmental toxicities it's in environmental toxicities it's in reacting to different types of foods reacting to different types of foods reacting to different types of foods this is going to create a massive this is going to create a massive this is going to create a massive inflammatory cascade which is then going inflammatory cascade which is then going inflammatory cascade which is then going to trigger on neurological inflammation to trigger on neurological inflammation to trigger on neurological inflammation at its lower degrees neurological at its lower degrees neurological at its lower degrees neurological inflammation is brain fog it's also inflammation is brain fog it's also inflammation is brain fog it's also going to be memory loss and it's higher going to be memory loss and it's higher going to be memory loss and it's higher degrees it could be pandas which is degrees it could be pandas which is degrees it could be pandas which is children that are dealing with ticks children that are dealing with ticks children that are dealing with ticks they're falling they're also potentially they're falling they're also potentially they're falling they're also potentially dealing with a DD ADHD and it can even dealing with a DD ADHD and it can even dealing with a DD ADHD and it can even develop into multiple sclerosis and develop into multiple sclerosis and develop into multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's and dementia way later down Alzheimer's and dementia way later down Alzheimer's and dementia way later down the line so the more allergies you have the line so the more allergies you have the line so the more allergies you have the more inflammation that you have the more inflammation that you have the more inflammation that you have which inflammation is going to destroy which inflammation is going to destroy which inflammation is going to destroy it your joints it's gonna cause your it your joints it's gonna cause your it your joints it's gonna cause your brain to degenerate faster and it is brain to degenerate faster and it is brain to degenerate faster and it is going to just overall impact your health going to just overall impact your health going to just overall impact your health in a very negative way and if you do in a very negative way and if you do in a very negative way and if you do have different types of infections have different types of infections have different types of infections on top of that those infections can on top of that those infections can on top of that those infections can definitely be a trigger to the further definitely be a trigger to the further definitely be a trigger to the further exacerbation and development of these exacerbation and development of these exacerbation and development of these allergies so the point of me saying this allergies so the point of me saying this allergies so the point of me saying this is that you need to connect the dots we is that you need to connect the dots we is that you need to connect the dots we need to be able to look at the big need to be able to look at the big need to be able to look at the big picture to see is there something going picture to see is there something going picture to see is there something going on in your gut is there do you have on in your gut is there do you have on in your gut is there do you have infections do you have toxicity do you infections do you have toxicity do you infections do you have toxicity do you have other things that are playing into have other things that are playing into have other things that are playing into the allergies that you are dealing with the allergies that you are dealing with the allergies that you are dealing with because chances are you are and treating because chances are you are and treating because chances are you are and treating the allergies is like a band-aid the allergies is like a band-aid the allergies is like a band-aid approach because it's not actually approach because it's not actually approach because it's not actually fixing the root cause most people think fixing the root cause most people think fixing the root cause most people think that they cannot get rid of their that they cannot get rid of their that they cannot get rid of their allergies because they you know we've allergies because they you know we've allergies because they you know we've all been led to believe that you just all been led to believe that you just all been led to believe that you just get them and there's not much you can do get them and there's not much you can do get them and there's not much you can do the biggest thing you could do is get the biggest thing you could do is get the biggest thing you could do is get allergy shots and hope for the best but allergy shots and hope for the best but allergy shots and hope for the best but when it comes to allergy is it's really when it comes to allergy is it's really when it comes to allergy is it's really comes down to if you get if you figure comes down to if you get if you figure comes down to if you get if you figure out what is the root cause that trigger out what is the root cause that trigger out what is the root cause that trigger the immune system to create these the immune system to create these the immune system to create these allergies you can definitely support the allergies you can definitely support the allergies you can definitely support the body in different ways to get it out and body in different ways to get it out and body in different ways to get it out and really the most common things that I see really the most common things that I see really the most common things that I see number one is going to be get rid of number one is going to be get rid of number one is going to be get rid of mold toxicity and pesticide residues mold toxicity and pesticide residues mold toxicity and pesticide residues herbicide residues fungal fungicide herbicide residues fungal fungicide herbicide residues fungal fungicide residues if we can help the body to get residues if we can help the body to get residues if we can help the body to get that out and get the gut healthy again that out and get the gut healthy again that out and get the gut healthy again most allergies are going to actually most allergies are going to actually most allergies are going to actually balance out on their own one of the balance out on their own one of the balance out on their own one of the other things that we do as well is other things that we do as well is other things that we do as well is actually we help to neutralize these actually we help to neutralize these actually we help to neutralize these different allergies using our bio scan different allergies using our bio scan different allergies using our bio scan technology so the BIOS can actually it technology so the BIOS can actually it technology so the BIOS can actually it actually sends signals into the body actually sends signals into the body actually sends signals into the body that are a homeopathic match to the food that are a homeopathic match to the food that are a homeopathic match to the food to help to neutralize the negative to help to neutralize the negative to help to neutralize the negative effect that the food is having on your effect that the food is having on your effect that the food is having on your body so we actually will use this as a body so we actually will use this as a body so we actually will use this as a modality to help to neutralize the modality to help to neutralize the modality to help to neutralize the negative effects from the foods as we negative effects from the foods as we negative effects from the foods as we fix the foundation and we fix the root fix the foundation and we fix the root fix the foundation and we fix the root which is balancing the gut and getting which is balancing the gut and getting which is balancing the gut and getting the toxins out so when we kind of pair the toxins out so when we kind of pair the toxins out so when we kind of pair those two approaches together we find those two approaches together we find those two approaches together we find that people really get better a lot that people really get better a lot that people really get better a lot faster but they're really able to faster but they're really able to faster but they're really able to resolve it overall so just you know resolve it overall so just you know resolve it overall so just you know instagramers this is going to cut me off instagramers this is going to cut me off instagramers this is going to cut me off in less than a minute if you're looking in less than a minute if you're looking in less than a minute if you're looking for the full webinar because I have a for the full webinar because I have a for the full webinar because I have a couple of minutes to go definitely couple of minutes to go definitely couple of minutes to go definitely direct message me your email address and direct message me your email address and direct message me your email address and I will shoot this over to you so if you I will shoot this over to you so if you I will shoot this over to you so if you haven't figure this out yet I'm here to haven't figure this out yet I'm here to haven't figure this out yet I'm here to tell you that you do not know what you tell you that you do not know what you tell you that you do not know what you don't know it's impossible to kind of don't know it's impossible to kind of don't know it's impossible to kind of understand how to piece the puzzle understand how to piece the puzzle understand how to piece the puzzle together when it comes to these food together when it comes to these food together when it comes to these food allergies but there are so many allergies but there are so many allergies but there are so many different components that have to be different components that have to be different components that have to be evaluated to really understand where evaluated to really understand where evaluated to really understand where they're coming from so that you can they're coming from so that you can they're coming from so that you can really stop the allergies and help to really stop the allergies and help to really stop the allergies and help to really get your body back to being less really get your body back to being less really get your body back to being less immune reactive and obviously one of the immune reactive and obviously one of the immune reactive and obviously one of the biggest things is is preventing them biggest things is is preventing them biggest things is is preventing them from getting worse I've worked with many from getting worse I've worked with many from getting worse I've worked with many clients that by the time they got to me clients that by the time they got to me clients that by the time they got to me they already had they were so limited on they already had they were so limited on they already had they were so limited on what they can do and what they could eat what they can do and what they could eat what they can do and what they could eat because their immune system was just so because their immune system was just so because their immune system was just so over reactive for so many years and over reactive for so many years and over reactive for so many years and their allergies kept developing and their allergies kept developing and their allergies kept developing and progressing over that time period but I progressing over that time period but I progressing over that time period but I will tell you that your allergies are will tell you that your allergies are will tell you that your allergies are not bad genes it is not that look it is not bad genes it is not that look it is not bad genes it is not that look it is not inevitable it is not just your doom not inevitable it is not just your doom not inevitable it is not just your doom there's nothing you can do about it there's nothing you can do about it there's nothing you can do about it there is always always always going to there is always always always going to there is always always always going to be a reason and you just may have not be a reason and you just may have not be a reason and you just may have not had testing that helps you to reveal had testing that helps you to reveal had testing that helps you to reveal what that is because very rarely do what that is because very rarely do what that is because very rarely do things look like the textbook very things look like the textbook very things look like the textbook very rarely do I have that textbook blood rarely do I have that textbook blood rarely do I have that textbook blood work that comes back that says this work that comes back that says this work that comes back that says this person is allergic to this this and this person is allergic to this this and this person is allergic to this this and this and the patient looks at me it's like and the patient looks at me it's like and the patient looks at me it's like yes that is a hundred percent I feel yes that is a hundred percent I feel yes that is a hundred percent I feel like that's 100 percent me most of the like that's 100 percent me most of the like that's 100 percent me most of the time you know with the old test that I time you know with the old test that I time you know with the old test that I used to use patients are like well this used to use patients are like well this used to use patients are like well this is saying that I do okay with corn but I is saying that I do okay with corn but I is saying that I do okay with corn but I know when I eat it I'm doubled over in know when I eat it I'm doubled over in know when I eat it I'm doubled over in pain so you know what's going on there pain so you know what's going on there pain so you know what's going on there so we have to really be able to look at so we have to really be able to look at so we have to really be able to look at the big picture and piece it all the big picture and piece it all the big picture and piece it all together and in addition to that we also together and in addition to that we also together and in addition to that we also need to uplevel our of need to uplevel our of need to uplevel our of approach to the healing process because approach to the healing process because approach to the healing process because what happens is is that if we're what happens is is that if we're what happens is is that if we're thinking everything's textbook we get thinking everything's textbook we get thinking everything's textbook we get really limited with the tools of how to really limited with the tools of how to really limited with the tools of how to help the person to get better but if you help the person to get better but if you help the person to get better but if you dig deeper and you look beyond the dig deeper and you look beyond the dig deeper and you look beyond the textbook we can actually leverage better textbook we can actually leverage better textbook we can actually leverage better tools one of those is actually the tools one of those is actually the tools one of those is actually the bioscan technology that really helps to bioscan technology that really helps to bioscan technology that really helps to neutralize these different types of neutralize these different types of neutralize these different types of allergies so when it comes to you okay allergies so when it comes to you okay allergies so when it comes to you okay how does this all work how do you look how does this all work how do you look how does this all work how do you look at allergies how do you get this at allergies how do you get this at allergies how do you get this information and how do you you know information and how do you you know information and how do you you know figure out what do you need to eliminate figure out what do you need to eliminate figure out what do you need to eliminate what is a true allergy what's a what is a true allergy what's a what is a true allergy what's a sensitivity what's the root cause so for sensitivity what's the root cause so for sensitivity what's the root cause so for a long time I focused more on functional a long time I focused more on functional a long time I focused more on functional medicine and then I gravitated more medicine and then I gravitated more medicine and then I gravitated more towards integrative medicine so towards integrative medicine so towards integrative medicine so functional medicine is great because I functional medicine is great because I functional medicine is great because I was able to leverage better testing to was able to leverage better testing to was able to leverage better testing to get better information so I was able to get better information so I was able to get better information so I was able to really decipher you know what was you really decipher you know what was you really decipher you know what was you know some of the major things going on know some of the major things going on know some of the major things going on in the person's body that's contributing in the person's body that's contributing in the person's body that's contributing to their symptoms but what I found is to their symptoms but what I found is to their symptoms but what I found is that functional medicine the the tools that functional medicine the the tools that functional medicine the the tools were somewhat limited and the tools were were somewhat limited and the tools were were somewhat limited and the tools were primarily focused on diet and primarily focused on diet and primarily focused on diet and supplements so I know in my own journey supplements so I know in my own journey supplements so I know in my own journey and also watching my patients is that and also watching my patients is that and also watching my patients is that putting someone on an elimination diet putting someone on an elimination diet putting someone on an elimination diet inevitably is not very fun and it's not inevitably is not very fun and it's not inevitably is not very fun and it's not very sustainable and people get very sustainable and people get very sustainable and people get overwhelmed frustrated and they quit so overwhelmed frustrated and they quit so overwhelmed frustrated and they quit so I also felt that that didn't feel right I also felt that that didn't feel right I also felt that that didn't feel right to me it didn't feel right that you just to me it didn't feel right that you just to me it didn't feel right that you just have to eliminate that food out forever have to eliminate that food out forever have to eliminate that food out forever and there's and just never go back to it and there's and just never go back to it and there's and just never go back to it and that's gonna be what helps you I and that's gonna be what helps you I and that's gonna be what helps you I wanted to really understand how to help wanted to really understand how to help wanted to really understand how to help people in a bigger capacity and have people in a bigger capacity and have people in a bigger capacity and have more tools in the toolbox and that's why more tools in the toolbox and that's why more tools in the toolbox and that's why I gravitated more towards integrative I gravitated more towards integrative I gravitated more towards integrative medicine so as we've really evolved our medicine so as we've really evolved our medicine so as we've really evolved our practices we now behind technology that practices we now behind technology that practices we now behind technology that helps to neutralize food allergies we helps to neutralize food allergies we helps to neutralize food allergies we use different types of detoxification use different types of detoxification use different types of detoxification mechanisms to get the bad stuff out of mechanisms to get the bad stuff out of mechanisms to get the bad stuff out of the body we use everything from the body we use everything from the body we use everything from detoxification detoxification detoxification deodorants two other ways to detox the deodorants two other ways to detox the deodorants two other ways to detox the liver etc so when you have more tools liver etc so when you have more tools liver etc so when you have more tools you can actually really help to resolve you can actually really help to resolve you can actually really help to resolve the root cause of the issue and not the root cause of the issue and not the root cause of the issue and not necessarily just be on this you know necessarily just be on this you know necessarily just be on this you know inevitable long-standing elimination inevitable long-standing elimination inevitable long-standing elimination diet so when it comes to all of the diet so when it comes to all of the diet so when it comes to all of the testing and different integrative testing and different integrative testing and different integrative modalities that we use one of the great modalities that we use one of the great modalities that we use one of the great things about it is that a lot of it things about it is that a lot of it things about it is that a lot of it falls in the out of network coverage falls in the out of network coverage falls in the out of network coverage that people have and people are getting that people have and people are getting that people have and people are getting reimbursed by their insurance company reimbursed by their insurance company reimbursed by their insurance company directly but when it comes to really directly but when it comes to really directly but when it comes to really being able to spend more time dig deeper being able to spend more time dig deeper being able to spend more time dig deeper ask better questions do better testing ask better questions do better testing ask better questions do better testing we would not be able to do that in the we would not be able to do that in the we would not be able to do that in the confines of insurance providers so we confines of insurance providers so we confines of insurance providers so we really in our practice choose to serve really in our practice choose to serve really in our practice choose to serve people and to not shoot or not serve the people and to not shoot or not serve the people and to not shoot or not serve the insurance providers so we always want to insurance providers so we always want to insurance providers so we always want to make sure that we are able to leverage make sure that we are able to leverage make sure that we are able to leverage reimbursements but we are here to really reimbursements but we are here to really reimbursements but we are here to really bridge the gap between the answers that bridge the gap between the answers that bridge the gap between the answers that you're not getting through conventional you're not getting through conventional you're not getting through conventional testing and really be able to bring that testing and really be able to bring that testing and really be able to bring that to the table for the people that are not to the table for the people that are not to the table for the people that are not progressing through those conventional progressing through those conventional progressing through those conventional methods so we definitely have that methods so we definitely have that methods so we definitely have that flexibility as an out-of-network flexibility as an out-of-network flexibility as an out-of-network practice and we give you all the tools practice and we give you all the tools practice and we give you all the tools that you need for your own reimbursement that you need for your own reimbursement that you need for your own reimbursement and then we also advocate for people and then we also advocate for people and then we also advocate for people using their flex savings accounts health using their flex savings accounts health using their flex savings accounts health savings accounts and even direct care so savings accounts and even direct care so savings accounts and even direct care so I really do think that insurance is I really do think that insurance is I really do think that insurance is changing and I really hope that it changing and I really hope that it changing and I really hope that it changes sooner than later changes sooner than later changes sooner than later but unfortunately when it comes to but unfortunately when it comes to but unfortunately when it comes to doctors that are really trying to doctors that are really trying to doctors that are really trying to provide this higher level approach for provide this higher level approach for provide this higher level approach for all the people that are just feel stuck all the people that are just feel stuck all the people that are just feel stuck a lot of times we do have to fall in a lot of times we do have to fall in a lot of times we do have to fall in that out-of-network bracket and you know that out-of-network bracket and you know that out-of-network bracket and you know I think that a lot of us - like we stay I think that a lot of us - like we stay I think that a lot of us - like we stay in this in network and we you know we in this in network and we you know we in this in network and we you know we use up the co-pays and we try to you use up the co-pays and we try to you use up the co-pays and we try to you know use the insurance for our best of know use the insurance for our best of know use the insurance for our best of our capacities but over time I feel like our capacities but over time I feel like our capacities but over time I feel like we almost forget that healthcare is we almost forget that healthcare is we almost forget that healthcare is supposed to be about answers and it's supposed to be about answers and it's supposed to be about answers and it's also supposed to be about solutions most also supposed to be about solutions most also supposed to be about solutions most of the time you know of the time you know of the time you know for the testing just saying you know for the testing just saying you know for the testing just saying you know you're allergic to this we have no idea you're allergic to this we have no idea you're allergic to this we have no idea why and your only option is to do why and your only option is to do why and your only option is to do allergy shots and you know we kind of allergy shots and you know we kind of allergy shots and you know we kind of walk around blindly not knowing like walk around blindly not knowing like walk around blindly not knowing like what we should eat what we shouldn't eat what we should eat what we shouldn't eat what we should eat what we shouldn't eat you know other other things we can do you know other other things we can do you know other other things we can do are there other you know modalities are are there other you know modalities are are there other you know

it's not a way to live so when it comes down to all of the so when it comes down to all of the so when it comes down to all of the evaluations that we do so we do a really evaluations that we do so we do a really evaluations that we do so we do a really strategic onboarding process our strategic onboarding process our strategic onboarding process our onboarding process is actually designed onboarding process is actually designed onboarding process is actually designed to cover all of the bases we have to cover all of the bases we have to cover all of the bases we have evolved this process a lot over time and evolved this process a lot over time and evolved this process a lot over time and we've evolved it because we really know we've evolved it because we really know we've evolved it because we really know how much support our patients need and how much support our patients need and how much support our patients need and we actually you get a whole team of we actually you get a whole team of we actually you get a whole team of people which is pretty great so you're people which is pretty great so you're people which is pretty great so you're working with the doctor you're working working with the doctor you're working working with the doctor you're working with your designated health coach you're with your designated health coach you're with your designated health coach you're working with a nutritionist who's working with a nutritionist who's working with a nutritionist who's customizing your meal plan customizing customizing your meal plan customizing customizing your meal plan customizing recipes for you we also are then using a recipes for you we also are then using a recipes for you we also are then using a variety of different tests our tests are variety of different tests our tests are variety of different tests our tests are not just focused on comprehensive not just focused on comprehensive not just focused on comprehensive bloodwork but we're also looking at bloodwork but we're also looking at bloodwork but we're also looking at heavy metals mineral deficiencies heavy metals mineral deficiencies heavy metals mineral deficiencies vitamin deficiency is we are looking at vitamin deficiency is we are looking at vitamin deficiency is we are looking at the bioscan SRT for chemical the bioscan SRT for chemical the bioscan SRT for chemical environmental and food allergies and in environmental and food allergies and in environmental and food allergies and in addition to that we are doing a DNA addition to that we are doing a DNA addition to that we are doing a DNA based test called the bioresonance the based test called the bioresonance the based test called the bioresonance the bioresonance is really fascinating bioresonance is really fascinating bioresonance is really fascinating because we can actually pick up on because we can actually pick up on because we can actually pick up on toxicity infections and dysfunction in a toxicity infections and dysfunction in a toxicity infections and dysfunction in a fraction of the time so really on your fraction of the time so really on your fraction of the time so really on your first visit we already have an idea of first visit we already have an idea of first visit we already have an idea of what's going on with you from there we what's going on with you from there we what's going on with you from there we actually do one test called autonomic actually do one test called autonomic actually do one test called autonomic response testing response testing response testing this is my one of my favorite tasks and this is my one of my favorite tasks and this is my one of my favorite tasks and the reason I say this is because you've the reason I say this is because you've the reason I say this is because you've been through enough guessing you have been through enough guessing you have been through enough guessing you have been through enough trial and error and been through enough trial and error and been through enough trial and error and you've been through enough trial and you've been through enough trial and you've been through enough trial and error because as much as we want to error because as much as we want to error because as much as we want to think that everything is research driven think that everything is research driven think that everything is research driven and our doctors are only going to and our doctors are only going to and our doctors are only going to recommend things that are true then recommend things that are true then recommend things that are true then everything is subjective medicine is everything is subjective medicine is everything is subjective medicine is subjective if a doctor saw great results subjective if a doctor saw great results subjective if a doctor saw great results with allergies being treated by a with allergies being treated by a with allergies being treated by a certain medication they're gonna certain medication they're gonna certain medication they're gonna recommend that to other people and it's recommend that to other people and it's recommend that to other people and it's based off of what they've seen and it's based off of what they've seen and it's based off of what they've seen and it's based off of their opinion we have taken based off of their opinion we have taken based off of their opinion we have taken the guessing out of it so we do not the guessing out of it so we do not the guessing out of it so we do not guess everything is tested against the guess everything is tested against the guess everything is tested against the DNA of your body so when we talk to you DNA of your body so when we talk to you DNA of your body so when we talk to you about your diet we talk to you about about your diet we talk to you about about your diet we talk to you about supplements we talked to you about supplements we talked to you about supplements we talked to you about remedies we talked about how to detox or remedies we talked about how to detox or remedies we talked about how to detox or anything else all of that information anything else all of that information anything else all of that information comes from our autonomic response comes from our autonomic response comes from our autonomic response testing which is being tested through testing which is being tested through testing which is being tested through the DNA of your hair so it's great about the DNA of your hair so it's great about the DNA of your hair so it's great about this is we could do this testing from a this is we could do this testing from a this is we could do this testing from a distance even if you are not local but distance even if you are not local but distance even if you are not local but everything is customized and everything is customized and everything is customized and personalized to you so one of the personalized to you so one of the personalized to you so one of the reasons we've evolved this process is reasons we've evolved this process is reasons we've evolved this process is number one because we were trying to get number one because we were trying to get number one because we were trying to get the best information in the shortest the best information in the shortest the best information in the shortest amount of time because we were really amount of time because we were really amount of time because we were really tired of seeing false positives and tired of seeing false positives and tired of seeing false positives and false negatives in our blood work and false negatives in our blood work and false negatives in our blood work and other types of conventional tasks but in other types of conventional tasks but in other types of conventional tasks but in addition to that is a lot of times when addition to that is a lot of times when addition to that is a lot of times when you go to functional integrative you go to functional integrative you go to functional integrative practitioners you're going in you're practitioners you're going in you're practitioners you're going in you're getting your consultation for X amount getting your consultation for X amount getting your consultation for X amount of dollars and then you are leaving with of dollars and then you are leaving with of dollars and then you are leaving with a variety of different tasks that you a variety of different tasks that you a variety of different tasks that you need to complete and those tests are need to complete and those tests are need to complete and those tests are usually going to range from a thousand usually going to range from a thousand usually going to range from a thousand two thousand three thousand I've seen two thousand three thousand I've seen two thousand three thousand I've seen upwards of five thousand dollars and upwards of five thousand dollars and upwards of five thousand dollars and this is for you to test your stool food this is for you to test your stool food this is for you to test your stool food allergies test your your blood etc by allergies test your your blood etc by allergies test your your blood etc by the way a lot of people are like food the way a lot of people are like food the way a lot of people are like food allergy testing and they think that they allergy testing and they think that they allergy testing and they think that they don't understand how all the food don't understand how all the food don't understand how all the food allergy testing is different but for you allergy testing is different but for you allergy testing is different but for you to get a good quality food allergy to get a good quality food allergy to get a good quality food allergy chassé it's going to run you about six chassé it's going to run you about six chassé it's going to run you about six hundred dollars hundred dollars hundred dollars some tat if you need to test more foods some tat if you need to test more foods some tat if you need to test more foods it's going to remain up to $1,000 and it's going to remain up to $1,000 and it's going to remain up to $1,000 and that's just food allergies that's giving that's just food allergies that's giving that's just food allergies that's giving us zero insight as to why you have those us zero insight as to why you have those us zero insight as to why you have those allergies so in order to try to really allergies so in order to try to really allergies so in order to try to really have no surprises number one and number have no surprises number one and number have no surprises number one and number two is to save money on the testing we two is to save money on the testing we two is to save money on the testing we have customized our onboarding process have customized our onboarding process have customized our onboarding process and just a side note - I think this is and just a side note - I think this is and just a side note - I think this is really important as a disclaimer when it really important as a disclaimer when it really important as a disclaimer when it comes to this type of approach for comes to this type of approach for comes to this type of approach for health care is that a lot of times health care is that a lot of times health care is that a lot of times people are embarking on this new people are embarking on this new people are embarking on this new approach because they want to have more approach because they want to have more approach because they want to have more information they really want to information they really want to information they really want to understand the root cause but sometimes understand the root cause but sometimes understand the root cause but sometimes they don't always realize you know you they don't always realize you know you they don't always realize you know you can't necessarily go from level 1 to can't necessarily go from level 1 to can't necessarily go from level 1 to level 27 you know when it comes to our level 27 you know when it comes to our level 27 you know when it comes to our whole entire health care system our whole entire health care system our whole entire health care system our healthcare system is built on instant healthcare system is built on instant healthcare system is built on instant

chronically ill secured it's really from chronically ill secured it's really just not realistic so it's being able to just not realistic so it's being able to just not realistic so it's being able to kind of work on those layers and get kind of work on those layers and get kind of work on those layers and get from where we are to being healthy again from where we are to being healthy again from where we are to being healthy again and it's like that we understand the and it's like that we understand the and it's like that we understand the concept when it comes to a video game is concept when it comes to a video game is concept when it comes to a video game is that you have to master every level you that you have to master every level you that you have to master every level you don't say oh I completed level 1 I'm don't say oh I completed level 1 I'm don't say oh I completed level 1 I'm bored I just want to go to great to bored I just want to go to great to bored I just want to go to great to level 27 the game makes you do every level 27 the game makes you do every level 27 the game makes you do every single level and master it before you single level and master it before you single level and master it before you can reach 27 so it's a very similar can reach 27 so it's a very similar can reach 27 so it's a very similar concept when it comes to your healing concept when it comes to your healing concept when it comes to your healing process is that we need to make sure process is that we need to make sure process is that we need to make sure that we we work on the foundation and that we we work on the foundation and that we we work on the foundation and then we start to kind of listen to your then we start to kind of listen to your then we start to kind of listen to your body to get it where it needs to be and body to get it where it needs to be and body to get it where it needs to be and if you're the person who can't drink if you're the person who

just because it's the way this quote just because it's the way it's always been done doesn't mean it's it's always been done doesn't mean it's it's always been done doesn't mean it's right I know that most of us have just right I know that most of us have just right I know that most of us have just been on this route of okay well you know been on this route of okay well you know been on this route of okay well you know I think I just need to do the allergy I think I just need to do the allergy I think I just need to do the allergy shots or I just need to stay on an shots or I just need to stay on an shots or I just need to stay on an antihistamine long term that you know antihistamine long term that you know antihistamine long term that you know that's really just the norm and that's that's
