    Struggling with bizarre food sensitivities that defy logic? You're not alone, and it's probably not just your gut. While systemic inflammation and gut dysbiosis are common culprits for widespread food reactions, those random, one-off intolerances to a single food within a group (like milk but not cheese, or beef but not other meats) often point to a deeper, psychological root. BSB reveals how intense emotional experiences, particularly during consumption of a specific food, can program your subconscious to associate that food with trauma, leading to seemingly inexplicable physical reactions. It's time to stop chasing symptoms and start uncovering the hidden emotional triggers behind your body's bewildering responses.

    What you'll learn

    • Random food sensitivities often have psychological, not just physiological, roots.
    • Traumatic experiences while eating a specific food can create lasting intolerances.
    • The subconscious mind can link food to high-magnitude emotional events.
    • Not all food reactions stem from gut issues or immune system dysfunction.
    • Personalized healing requires addressing both physical and emotional triggers.

So anyway, fast forward, you know, 2005, So anyway, fast forward, you know, 2005, So anyway, fast forward, you know, 2005, and I'm explaining this idea to my and I'm explaining this idea to my and I'm explaining this idea to my friend who has an allergy or an friend who has an allergy or an friend who has an allergy or an intolerance to milk. And I said, you intolerance to milk. And I said, you intolerance to milk.

She's like, "So, I was thinking more and She's like, "So, I was thinking more and She's like, "So, I was thinking more and more about the days when I was still more about the days when I was still more about the days when I was still able to eat cereal with milk." She's able to eat cereal with milk." She's able to eat cereal with milk." She's like, "And it was right around 5 years like, "And it was right around 5 years like, "And it was right around 5 years old that I could no longer consume milk old that I could no longer consume milk old that I could no longer consume milk with my cereal."

And she's like, I I literally like she's And she's like, I I literally like she's And she's like, I I literally like she's like intuitively I I know there is a like intuitively I I know there is a like intuitively I I know there is a strong correlation to that experience strong correlation to that experience strong correlation to that experience and the onset of not being able to drink and the onset of not being able to drink and the onset of not being able to drink milk. milk. milk. But it shows the brilliance of how the But it shows the brilliance of how the But it shows the brilliance of how the human body stores information that we're human body stores information that we're human body stores information that we're not even conscious about because not even conscious about because not even conscious about because [clears throat] [clears throat] [clears throat] the body stores the imbalances the body stores the imbalances the body stores the imbalances of the mind. Hence, if you haven't of the mind. Hence, if you haven't of the mind. Hence, if you haven't listened to our previous podcast, talk a listened to our previous podcast, talk a listened to our previous podcast, talk a lot about how the spirit guides the mind lot about how the spirit guides the mind lot about how the spirit guides the mind and the mind dictates the body. So, the and the mind dictates the body. So, the and the mind dictates the body. So, the body holds all of the imbalances from body holds all of the imbalances from body holds all of the imbalances from our perceptions, from our consciousness. our perceptions, from our consciousness. our perceptions, from our consciousness. If our consciousness perceives something If our consciousness perceives something If our consciousness perceives something as balanced, then that actually as balanced, then that actually as balanced, then that actually transcends up to our superconsciousness. transcends up to our superconsciousness. transcends up to our superconsciousness. But when it is imbalanced, then that But when it is imbalanced, then that But when it is imbalanced, then that stress response drops down to our stress response drops down to our stress response drops down to our subconsciousness. subconsciousness. subconsciousness. And that is the programming that our And that is the programming that our And that is the programming that our body stores that our subconscious uses. body stores that our subconscious uses. body stores that our subconscious uses. So then you know it's like working with So then you know it's like working with So then you know it's like working with this individual you could you know it's this individual you could you know it's this individual you could you know it's kind of like a newer thing to you but kind of like a newer thing to you but kind of like a newer thing to you but you don't always know what I do with you don't always know what I do with you don't always know what I do with people but it's like you know this people but it's like you know this people but it's like you know this happens and you know in this instance happens and you know in this instance happens and you know in this instance you know could be a reaction to overly you know could be a reaction to overly you know could be a reaction to overly overly masculine energy cuz health is a overly masculine energy cuz health is a overly masculine energy cuz health is a balance of masculine and feminine. balance of masculine and feminine. balance of masculine and feminine. [snorts] But an overly masculine energy [snorts] But an overly masculine energy [snorts] But an overly masculine energy you know then there could be quote you know then there could be quote you know then there could be quote unquote an allergy to that. Maybe the unquote an allergy to that. Maybe the unquote an allergy to that. Maybe the dad was wearing a blue shirt. Well, then dad was wearing a blue shirt. Well, then dad was wearing a blue shirt. Well, then there's a reaction to blue at the same there's a reaction to blue at the same there's a reaction to blue at the same time. You know, there's a reaction to time. You know, there's a reaction to time. You know, there's a reaction to milk at the same time. Our body stores milk at the same time. Our body stores milk at the same time. Our body stores everything in the environment because everything in the environment because everything in the environment because it's the environment that dictates the it's the environment that dictates the it's the environment that dictates the expression of the particle expression of the particle expression of the particle as we learn through science, chemistry, as we learn through science, chemistry, as we learn through science, chemistry, epigenetics, etc. epigenetics, etc. epigenetics, etc. So you have what's great is like you So you have what's great is like you So you have what's great is like you know she did it all consciously which is know she did it all consciously which is know she did it all consciously which is brilliant. brilliant. brilliant. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But if you weren't and you weren't able But if you weren't and you weren't able But if you weren't and you weren't able to do because you put doors up that you to do because you put doors up that you to do because you put doors up that you didn't want to open up. Well that's how didn't want to open up. Well that's how didn't want to open up. Well that's how meditation and that's how hypnosis and meditation and that's how hypnosis and meditation and that's how hypnosis and that's how some other tools can allow that's how some other tools can allow that's how some other tools can allow you to go in without actually you to go in without actually you to go in without actually experiencing the pain. Because most experiencing the pain. Because most experiencing the pain. Because most people go in through their programming people go in through their programming people go in through their programming which is subjective and which is which is subjective and which is which is subjective and which is imbalanced. But if you're guided in a imbalanced. But if you're guided in a imbalanced. But if you're guided in a specific way, more objectively, you specific way, more objectively, you specific way, more objectively, you don't have the scare, the fear, the don't have the scare, the fear, the don't have the scare, the fear, the worry, the, you know, speaking to the worry, the, you know, speaking to the worry, the, you know, speaking to the gallbladder, the bitterness that's gallbladder, the bitterness that's gallbladder, the bitterness that's connected to that. So you do it in a connected to that. So you do it in a connected to that. So you do it in a more in a safe environment to allow more in a safe environment to allow more in a safe environment to allow connection and awareness to all this connection and awareness to all this connection and awareness to all this information. [clears throat] And then information. [clears throat] And then information. [clears throat] And then you can use that information and bring you can use that information and bring you can use that information and bring it back into a state of balance to heal it back into a state of balance to heal it back into a state of balance to heal quote unquote the perception of the quote unquote the perception of the quote unquote the perception of the mind. You transcend that up to mind. You transcend that up to mind. You transcend that up to superconsciousness. And that's when we superconsciousness. And that's when we superconsciousness. And that's when we actually feel grateful for that moment, actually feel grateful for that moment, actually feel grateful for that moment, which is kind of crazy to think about which is kind of crazy to think about which is kind of crazy to think about is, you know, how could I be grateful is, you know, how could I be grateful is, you know, how could I be grateful for that moment? Because no moment's for that moment? Because no moment's for that moment? Because no moment's just bad, no moment's just good. You just bad, no moment's just good. You just bad, no moment's just good. You know, you're not naughty, you're not know, you're not naughty, you're not know, you're not naughty, you're not just nice. You know, we're every single just nice. You know, we're every single just nice. You know, we're every single trait. We can see where we've actually trait. We can see where we've actually trait. We can see where we've actually demonstrated and held done a very demonstrated and held done a very demonstrated and held done a very similar thing similar thing similar thing just a different format. Oh, I've never just a different format. Oh, I've never just a different format. Oh, I've never done that. It's like it's like you done that. It's like it's like you done that. It's like it's like you probably hit a dog, probably disciplined probably hit a dog, probably disciplined probably hit a dog, probably disciplined a dog. You probably, you know, I've I've a dog. You probably, you know, I've I've a dog. You probably, you know, I've I've taken an animal's life hunting. Like taken an animal's life hunting. Like taken an animal's life hunting. Like we've all done different things, but we we've all done different things, but we we've all done different things, but we just have been taught that this this just have been taught that this this just have been taught that this this form is bad and this form is good, which form is bad and this form is good, which form is bad and this form is good, which isn't really true. It's that that good isn't really true. It's that that good isn't really true. It's that that good and bad is based off of one's values, and bad is based off of one's values, and bad is based off of one's values, what's important to them, what's important to them, what's important to them, what they what they what they which everybody which everybody which everybody their values. their values. their values. True. Which might not even be true. So True. Which might not even be true. So True. Which might not even be true. So it's just it's just the body's like an it's just it's just the body's like an it's just it's just the body's like an allergies. It's an an allergy for the allergies. It's an an allergy for the allergies. It's an an allergy for the most part most part most part on the mental aspect is connected to an on the mental aspect is connected to an on the mental aspect is connected to an unresolved issue. Of course, there's unresolved issue. Of course, there's unresolved issue. Of course, there's allergies where the body is going to be allergies where the body is going to be allergies where the body is going to be affected to toxins and chemicals and affected to toxins and chemicals and affected to toxins and chemicals and these things, these things, these things, but you could also argue that that's not but you could also argue that that's not but you could also argue that that's not really true because the body wouldn't really true because the body wouldn't really true because the body wouldn't hold on to those toxins and chemicals, hold on to those toxins and chemicals, hold on to those toxins and chemicals, etc., if it didn't have a charge that it etc., if it didn't have a charge that it etc., if it didn't have a charge that it was actually resonating with. was actually resonating with. was actually resonating with. But I I think that an important factor But I I think that an important factor But I I think that an important factor for people to understand with this is for people to understand with this is for people to understand with this is that that that a couple of things. One, if you don't a couple of things. One, if you don't a couple of things. One, if you don't have a great memory of the past, it's have a great memory of the past, it's have a great memory of the past, it's usually because your body did that, your usually because your body did that, your usually because your body did that, your mind, your body did that as a protective mind, your body did that as a protective mind, your body did that as a protective mechanism. So, you are trying to mechanism. So, you are trying to mechanism. So, you are trying to disassociate from painful past memories disassociate from painful past memories disassociate from painful past memories because it's too much to bear in the because it's too much to bear in the because it's too much to bear in the conscious mind. So, you know, that was conscious mind. So, you know, that was conscious mind. So, you know, that was something that she specifically said. something that she specifically said. something that she specifically said. She's like, I don't remember a lot from She's like, I don't remember a lot from She's like, I don't remember a lot from my like childhood, my teenage years, my like childhood, my teenage years, my like childhood, my teenage years, etc. and those doors were closed as as etc. and those doors were closed as as etc. and those doors were closed as as you mentioned. Um, but the thing is is you mentioned. Um, but the thing is is you mentioned. Um, but the thing is is that even though you don't consciously that even though you don't consciously that even though you don't consciously think about, you know, painful events or think about, you know, painful events or think about, you know, painful events or traumas or experiences, it doesn't mean traumas or experiences, it doesn't mean traumas or experiences, it doesn't mean that they're not running in in the the that they're not running in in the the that they're not running in in the the background of of your brain. And so what background of of your brain. And so what background of of your brain. And so what that looks like on the surface is that looks like on the surface is that looks like on the surface is someone who is anxious, someone who is someone who is anxious, someone who is someone who is anxious, someone who is very easily triggered, someone who very easily triggered, someone who very easily triggered, someone who thinks that, you know, everyone's kind thinks that, you know, everyone's kind thinks that, you know, everyone's kind of out to get them, someone who can't of out to get them, someone who can't of out to get them, someone who can't get out of fight or flight. Th this is get out of fight or flight. Th this is get out of fight or flight. Th this is these are things that you really really these are things that you really really these are things that you really really have to understand is that, you know, have to understand is that, you know, have to understand is that, you know, there's all these reasonings for why there's all these reasonings for why there's all these reasonings for why people are in fight or flight. And it's people are in fight or flight. And it's people are in fight or flight. And it's because, you know, they're hustling, because, you know, they're hustling, because, you know, they're hustling, they're working too hard, because of too they're working too hard, because of too they're working too hard, because of too much blue light with screens. Yes. All much blue light with screens. Yes. All much blue light with screens. Yes. All of that is extremely relevant, but at of that is extremely relevant, but at of that is extremely relevant, but at the same time is how much [  ] is the same time is how much [  ] is the same time is how much [  ] is stored, how much polarized information stored, how much polarized information stored, how much polarized information is stored in your subconscious, the back is stored in your subconscious, the back is stored in your subconscious, the back of your brain that is dictating your of your brain that is dictating your of your brain that is dictating your visceral response. So, someone comes up visceral response. So, someone comes up visceral response.

[  ] does that mean?" [  ] does that mean?" You know, it's like where's that coming You know, it's like where's that coming You know, it's like where's that coming from? Is it because you're solely in from? Is it because you're solely in from? Is it because you're solely in fight or flight or is it because that fight or flight or is it because that fight or flight or is it because that there's a subconscious program of this there's a subconscious program of this there's a subconscious program of this person those words is a threat. Is this person those words is a threat. Is this person those words is a threat. Is this food a threat etc. So this isn't just food a threat etc. So this isn't just food a threat etc. So this isn't just about regulate your nervous system. You about regulate your nervous system. You about regulate your nervous system. You know it's not just about listen to know it's not just about listen to know it's not just about listen to binaural beats or you know go do a spa binaural beats or you know go do a spa binaural beats or you know go do a spa day every week. That that's not day every week. That that's not day every week. That that's not necessarily what this is about. This is necessarily what this is about. This is necessarily what this is about. This is a This is an invitation and an a This is an invitation and an a This is an invitation and an opportunity to work through the [  ] opportunity to work through the [  ] opportunity to work through the [  ] that has been holding you back. It's to that has been holding you back. It's to that has been holding you back. It's to help you have a wider lens on the [  ] help you have a wider lens on the [  ] help you have a wider lens on the [ __ ] that you presume to be bad, the people that you presume to be bad, the people that you presume to be bad, the people you presume to be bad, the rejections you presume to be bad, the rejections you presume to be bad, the rejections that you presume to be bad, because that you presume to be bad, because that you presume to be bad, because everything was putting you on your path. everything was putting you on your path. everything was putting you on your path. Everything was a redirection. Everything Everything was a redirection. Everything Everything was a redirection. Everything played a very specific role for a very played a very specific role for a very played a very specific role for a very specific purpose. specific purpose. specific purpose. But if you can't see it, it paralyzes But if you can't see it, it paralyzes But if you can't see it, it paralyzes you. you. you.

If you have random isolated foods that you react to that don't make foods that you react to that don't make foods that you react to that don't make a ton of sense because you respond to a ton of sense because you respond to a ton of sense because you respond to one type of protein and not all one type of protein and not all one type of protein and not all proteins. You respond you react to one proteins. You respond you react to one proteins. You respond you react to one type of fat and not all fats. You react type of fat and not all fats. You react type of fat and not all fats. You react to one type of dairy and not all dairy. to one type of dairy and not all dairy. to one type of dairy and not all dairy. Then this is your opportunity to really Then this is your opportunity to really Then this is your opportunity to really think about when did it start and was think about when did it start and was think about when did it start and was there a specific event or experience there a specific event or experience there a specific event or experience that happened around that time that that happened around that time that that happened around that time that could have potentially created a could have potentially created a could have potentially created a reaction to that food. And so instead of reaction to that food. And so instead of reaction to that food. And so instead of you doing all these fancy food allergy you doing all these fancy food allergy you doing all these fancy food allergy tests and you know being on elimination tests and you know being on elimination tests and you know being on elimination diet for the rest of your life or taking diet for the rest of your life or taking diet for the rest of your life or taking dietary enzymes, maybe this is a your dietary enzymes, maybe this is a your dietary enzymes, maybe this is a your your invitation to work through whatever your invitation to work through whatever your invitation to work through whatever that specific event was, experience, that specific event was, experience, that specific event was, experience, challenge to resolve it at its root.
