Valentine’s Day, Alcohol and Blood Sugar: What You Need to Know

Food Is Medicine… But What If Food Is Also the Problem?

If you’ve been eating “clean,” following the rules, and being told your labs are normal—but you still feel off—this episode and article are for you. We break down how food sensitivity testing can reveal hidden immune reactions that drive inflammation, bloating, fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, and even mood changes long before anything shows up on standard lab work. You’ll learn why food sensitivities are different from allergies, why elimination diets often lead to frustration, and how testing removes the guesswork so nutrition becomes supportive instead of restrictive. This is about understanding how your body responds to food—and finally having data that explains what your symptoms have been trying to tell you.

About Your Host

Meg is the host of The Harmony With Food Radio Show and a functional nutrition practitioner who helps people understand why they don’t feel well—even when their labs say they’re “normal.” Her work sits at the intersection of food, immune function, digestion, and real life. Meg specializes in identifying hidden triggers like food sensitivities, nutrient imbalances, and inflammatory patterns that often go overlooked in conventional care. Her approach is grounded, evidence-based, and deeply practical: food first, supplements only when necessary, and no one-size-fits-all solutions. On the show, Meg brings clarity to confusing health topics and helps listeners reconnect with their bodies through understanding rather than restriction or fear.
