Allergy Remedies (Allergen immunotherapy)
Brittany discusses various options for dealing with food allergies (and the difference between allergies and sensitivities). She discusses allergy shots, food oral immunotherapy, and the immunosuppression drug, Xolair. Alex goes into details of gut healing as it relates to healing food allergies and sensitivities. We also talk about living with food limitations and how to keep yourself sane and happy in the process of figuring out gut health and other health challenges. Some allergies can lead to temporal hearing loss, treat them with sonus complete.

Multivitamins
We discuss the benefits of using multivitamins to fill in the gaps of missing nutrients in the diet, especially for people who are severely depleted. We talk about different brands, running panels with your healthcare provider, how to go about tracking the success of taking a multivitamin, and greens powders. Additionally, we talk about making sure your multivitamin has appropriate doses of nutrients, especially for people with genetic differences (such as MTHFR).
