Can people feel when something is not working with their body? What do you recommend for them?

It’s completely normal and natural for anyone to instantaneously feel a reaction when they eat something that doesn’t suit their gut. They may feel bloated, sick or might have an allergic reaction. That’s why I always ask my clients for feedback after every diet I recommend. I do this to ensure if the diet is suiting their gut and body. I start by asking them a series of questions to understand them better and this is how I make changes in their individual diets and health.

As our body’s change with age, there are certain immunoglobulins and allergens that also keep changing in the body. So, one may realize that suddenly at 50 you may not be able to digest milk easily, or at 45 eating gluten is causing you to bloat up. Whether you might’ve had milk or eaten chapattis your entire life, there is still a possibility that these foods might not suit your gut. That’s because, allergens changing with UR age and hormones. These changes frequently happen with women due to their fluctuating hormone levels. Hence, it is even more vital for us as women to listen to our body and understand the changes it undergoes with our age, food preferences and lifestyle choices.

A detailed feedback helps me understand my clients progress levels, current nutrient absorption rate and food reactions, which helps me in personalising their diet even further.

Results and improvement don’t happen overnight. Working collectively with your nutritionist or dietician will help you improve UR overall well-being at a gradual pace.
