My brother in law owned an IHOP pancakes for 30 years, and all of a sudden one day he was whipping up some buckwheat pancakes. He almost, he went into anaphylactic shock.
He had to go to the emergency room; he had developed an allergy to buckwheat apparently overnight.
Is it possible to develop allergies that quickly? Yes. Sometimes there are foods that we eat on a regular basis making our immune system sensitive to it.
He just has to stay away from that, and he will be fine, but if he was alone…in other words, this can, this happened to somebody if they loved key lime pie and it every day and all of a sudden it made him sick.
I remember one time an employee in our office was eating a peanut butter sandwich and, she was using the phone. Then a different employee that happens to be sensitive to peanut just happened to pick up the same phone, and she went into anaphylactic shock without even consuming the peanut butter.
It just, it could happen that quick with very minimal exposure.
Get tested for these things, we do a blood test, and we also do stool analysis to figure out which, where are the hidden sensitivities that stuff that people can’t really tell that they’re sensitive to.
Typically that happens because it’s the foods that we crave that we eat on a regular basis that we become sensitive to, and we can customize based on your food sensitivities as we discussed.
We take away the bad things that you’re reacting to and give people options to put something else new into the diet. And we rotate the diet every four days, so they don’t develop new food sensitivities. So again, this is different than food allergies.
Let’s talk about obesity just a little bit. Men and women, as they age, tend to get fat, lots of things can happen. Most of the time, it’s “I’m not sleeping well.”
If we don’t sleep well, we don’t get enough rest and, we get these stress hormones building up, not sleeping well. If you don’t sleep well, it’s been shown that you get a buildup of an appetite hormone called Ghrelin, and you get more cravings.
Then you start craving a lot of different things, and the next thing that happens is a hormonal imbalance. You get too much a buildup of cortisol, a stress hormone, and that throws off some, a lot of the other hormones, don’t set out to be obese.
In an ideal world, you are supposed to work eight hours, play eight hours, you know, and sleep eight hours. You don’t see that anymore.
There’s no balance.
We are all about improving the quality of life for everybody. Give our office a call; we have two offices. One in Brooksville, Florida, and the second office is located on Land O Lakes.
