Our bodies can be sensitive to our environment and impurities around us that can result in uncomfortable symptoms. However, our bodies are also sensitive to what we put in them, such as the food we eat. If you have noticed symptoms of drowsiness, fatigue, digestive concerns, or discomfort after eating certain meals, you may have a food allergy. Our gut is a source of energy that fuels many vital functions within the body, and consuming foods that you may have a sensitivity or allergy towards, can do more damage than you think. If you feel as though you may be experiencing symptoms of a food allergy, the professionals here at H-MD Medical Spa can help you identify sensitivities through food allergy testing.
