Conversations About Everyday Pain

Episode Summary

Food sensitivities can be sneaky, and today we're diving into four lesser-known culprits that might be affecting your health: amines, soy, yeast, and sulfites. If you’ve ever experienced unexplained skin irritation, digestive discomfort, or respiratory issues, these common food components could be at play. But don’t worry—it's not about cutting out more foods forever. The real key is retraining your body to increase its tolerance!

Key Topics Covered

· Amines: Found in foods like strawberries, bananas, and aged cheeses, amines (including histamine) can trigger allergy-like reactions in sensitive individuals. Soy: Often linked to amine sensitivity or hidden in processed foods, soy can be a surprising source of inflammation. Yeast: If you're sensitive to mold, you might also struggle with yeast-containing foods like beer, bread, and blue cheese. Sulfites: Common in dried fruits, wine, and processed foods, sulfites can trigger asthma-like symptoms in those who are sensitive.

· The good news? Your body’s sensitivity can change with the right strategy!
