Debunking Food Sensitivity Tests (with Andrea Love, PhD)


Listen Later

Have you ever tried a food sensitivity test and felt more confused than ever (or STRESSED than ever)? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Andrea Love, a renowned microbiologist and immunologist to uncover the truth behind these popular but MAJORLY misleading tests.

We explore how these tests can fuel anxiety around food choices and dietary restrictions. It's time to question the hype and understand the science behind these tests.

Are food sensitivity tests truly beneficial or just another health trend gone wrong

Plus we discuss the responsibility of healthcare practitioners. Are they inadvertently endorsing tests that lack scientific validation for their own monetary gain? Tune in to get the real scoop, be educated by the best and empower yourself with knowledge.
