64 | Food Intolerance Testing Is a Big Business & Here’s Why

What if the test you’re trusting is actually making things worse? Or is actually not legit at all? Food intolerance testing has exploded in popularity but clarity & accuracy isn’t always what these tests deliver.

In this episode, let’s talk about the booming food intolerance testing market, the difference between allergies, intolerances and sensitivities, and what proper testing actually looks like. Michael did a research about IGG food panels, home test kits, muscle testing, hair analysis and why many of these methods lack diagnostic value and can even cause harm.

This episode is for anyone confused about food reactions, considering a food test or already restricting foods because of one. If you want to be a more informed, empowered consumer (without fear-based nutrition), this conversation is for you.
