Question #1

Mia asks, “Hi Janet and Emily – Now that the warmer weather is here I struggle with seasonal allergies. Do you have any recommendations for products that could help with my allergies? Thanks!”

Janet Says:

Seasonal allergies can cause extreme discomfort so getting relief is important
Try a month before your allergies start: clean up your diet!
The gut and immune system effect one another – and if you can try to remove wheat, gluten, corn, and sugar and you may feel some relief from your allergies
Take care of your gut health – take a probiotic, drink bone broth, and take fish oil

Emily says:

Take something to reduce the histamine reaction – Quercetin should help
Stinging Nettle – A herb that brings down histamine reactions
Vitamin C in large doses – a good way to support the immune system

Question #2

Sophia asks, “Hello Emily & Janet, Lately when consuming beef, chicken and pork I have started to feel very nauseous and not feel well. I have tested with fish and that does not seem to bother me. Any idea what this could be? Thank you in advance.”

Janet Says:

You may have an issue digesting meats with more fat
You may need to take a digestive enzyme to support digestion with higher protein foods

Emily Says:

Could be allergic to meat – but it is a rare allergy to have
Maybe take a break from these protein sources – your body isn’t loving these right now so maybe remove them from your diet and try to slowly reintroduce them
