EP07 - Metal Allergies & The Low-Nickel Diet: SHOCKING

Before & After!

Bethany had a normal childhood upbringing but realized early on

that she was sensitive to the metal in earrings, jean buttons &

bracelets.

She didn’t really worry about it, because it was just where the

metal contacted her body.

She got braces as a teenager and aside from canker sores, didn’t

seem to have much of a reaction, so the metal in the braces didn’t

really throw any flags at this time. She also had a reaction to

concrete, but didn’t make the association that there were traces of

metal in the concrete.

As she started college, things began to get more serious as she

had bouts of IBS, severe enough to require medical testing, but

doctors were still scratching their heads, assuring her that she

was young and healthy and most everything looked great in her

results & chart.

During COVID, Bethany had a severe flare, presenting with

significant swelling & redness, which almost rendered her

unrecognizable.

Thanks to the wisdom of a progressive, on-call urgent care doctor,

who pointed out the likelihood of a nickel allergy, suspecting

piping used in older construction, as many of Bethany’s results

occurred after bathing, Bethany was able to do further research.

After discovering that there is a dietary connection to nickel

allergies, Bethany was able to change what she ate, as well as a

host of things in her environment and achieved full relief from her

symptoms, as well as relief of chronic pain she didn’t even realize

she was in!

Diet is hugely important in helping to combat chronic symptoms

and needs to be discussed more frequently. Anyone with a history

of reactions to metal and jewelry will be able to benefit from

Bethany’s knowledge.

Metal allergy can be a dangerous and life-altering condition. It can

cause severe pain and disrupt an individual's life. Spreading

awareness regarding this most important issue is of the utmost

importance.

In this episode, you will learn:

How to identify early signs and symptoms of metal allergy.

How diet plays a huge role in causing chronic symptoms.

How adherence to a low-nickel diet can reduce pain and

contribute to a better quality of life.

How to reduce exposure to metal that can complicate

symptoms in your home environment.
