Food Allergies and Postmenopausal Weight Gain

Ever wonder why you used to be able to eat certain foods and now they have you running for the toilet? We’ll give you a hint, it probably has to do with poor digestion. When either stomach acid or bile flow is impaired, and food is not being properly broken down, the body can view a food as an invader, hence an “allergic” reaction. Once you pinpoint the source of your digestive impairment and improve basic functions you may find you’re able to reintroduce the foods that were giving you trouble before. Also on this show we’ll discuss postmenopausal weight gain and why this affects some women and not others. Listen in as Tony, Will and Kinna discuss these topics and more!

In this episode you’ll hear about:

Are food allergy tests accurate, and how helpful is the obtained information?
How adhering to a “clean sweep” or Paleo AIP diet can help you figure out which foods are really causing issues.
How food sensitivities can develop when digestion is not working properly.
How an underproduction of stomach acid can lead to weight gain.
Why elevated stress hormones can also add to weight gain.
The time and place for more magnesium.

On our Kick It Naturally show, we cover how most symptoms, or health issues, can have a variety of underlying causes. When the goal is to improve a symptom or health issue, the first step should always be to look at your own chemistry to figure out what may be causing the problem. The almost free 4-week Digestion Course that we talk about in this episode is a great way to learn how to run simple tests you can do at home, and get an idea of imbalances that may be occurring in your body chemistry.

Once you understand the imbalances you may be dealing with, you can listen to our episode about that topic to better understand how different imbalances can cause that symptom or health issue. If you are seem to have a strong imbalance that is commonly the underlying cause of the issue you’re dealing with, now you have a place to start. If you can do the work to improve that imbalance, you may find that the symptom could improve right along with it.
