FAQ

What causes insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome?

Factors that have been shown to cause or contribute to metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance include:

  • Poor diet
  • Being overweight
  • Lack of exercise/physical activity
  • Sleep apnea
  • Hormonal changes such as pregnancy, peri-menopause, menopause and andropause (male menopause)
  • Some medicine including steroids and antidepressants
  • Some medical conditions such as Cushing’s and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
Why do I have allergies?

Seasonal allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to normally harmless airborne particles. An allergy is an abnormal hypersensitivity to these airborne particles or environmental antigens called allergens. An allergen can include pollen from trees, grasses, weeds, and ragweed, as well as cat or dog dander, dust and moulds. Exposure to an allergen leads to overactive B cells that in turn produce excess Immunoglobulin E (IgE). IgE then triggers the allergic symptoms by activating mast cells (cells that line the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose and throat) that produce histamine. Common symptoms include: runny nose, sinus congestion, headache, fatigue and itchy eyes.

Will I have to change my lifestyle and/or diet?

Most likely yes, although in some cases it might just be temporary to rebalance your digestive health.

Symptoms of food sensitivities
  • Chronic constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Heartburn or Indigestion
  • Boating and gas
  • Abdominal cramps and pain
  • Acne
  • Eczema or Itchy skin
  • Hives
  • Migraines or headaches
  • Immediate fatigue after a meal
  • Increased heart rate
  • Hypoglycemia
  • Joint pain
  • Respiratory problems
