The Problem With Most Food Sensitivity Tests

What role do food sensitivities really play in women’s health, especially during menopause? In this episode, I sit down with nutritionist Charlotte Hunter to break down the connection between food sensitivities, gut health, and hormonal shifts. We explore how changes in estrogen levels can impact gut permeability, and why this often leads to increased inflammation and symptom flare-ups during the menopausal transition. We dive into the importance of proper food sensitivity testing and how identifying hidden triggers can make a significant difference in managing symptoms. We also tackle a key question: are food sensitivities actually increasing, or are we just getting better at detecting them? From dietary approaches like keto to foundational lifestyle factors such as stress, sleep, and movement, this conversation brings everything back to the bigger picture. Because it’s not just about removing foods—it’s about addressing the underlying drivers. If you’re looking to better understand how nutrition, hormones, and gut health intersect, this episode will give you practical insights you can apply right away.
