Why NOT to Get a Food Sensitivity Test


Listen Later

Tareq and Hannah talk about IgG Food Sensitivity Testing. There are various ways to have IgG food sensitivity tests done. From blood samples sent to a lab by an alternative healthcare practitioner or an at-home testing kit touted by an influencer, these are the tests we're talking about. H & T talk about why these tests are not reliable at pin-pointing food sensitivities and frankly, a waste of your hard-earned money. BS of the Week: Coherent Breathing.
