intolerance test

you eat "pretty healthy" but still feel like garbage half the time. bloated after meals. foggy in the afternoon. skin that won't clear up. ever considered that the problem might not be what you're eating, but how your body responds to it?
the silent saboteur
food intolerances aren't food allergies. allergies are dramatic — hives, swelling, trips to the ER. intolerances are sneaky. they show up as low-grade inflammation, digestive issues, headaches, fatigue, and skin problems that you've just learned to live with.
you might be sensitive to dairy, gluten, eggs, or a dozen other common foods without having any idea. because the symptoms are chronic and low-level, your brain normalizes them. you forget what "feeling good" actually feels like.
get the data
stop guessing and start testing. companies like allergytest.co let you send in hair samples to test for intolerances. you can also do elimination diets — remove suspect foods for 3-4 weeks, then reintroduce them one at a time and track how you feel.
the elimination diet is free and arguably more accurate, but it requires discipline. the test gives you a starting point if you need direction.
what changes look like
people who identify and remove their trigger foods often report feeling like a completely different person within weeks. more energy, better sleep, clearer thinking, reduced inflammation.
it's not a miracle. it's just removing the poison you didn't know you were taking.
stop normalizing feeling mediocre
if you've accepted that bloating, brain fog, and low energy are just "how you are" — challenge that assumption. get tested. run an elimination protocol. find out what your body actually thrives on versus what it merely tolerates.
you deserve to know what your baseline should actually feel like.
if this resonated, share it with someone who needs to hear it.
