In this episode, Dr. Alexis Sams concludes her series on food reactions by addressing gluten and dairy sensitivities. Drawing on her unique "plant theory" analogy, Dr. Sams explains how different types of food reactions (the "fruit") are linked to underlying issues (the "stems") and root causes. She delves into how gut dysfunction, immune system issues, and the lymphatic system's role are often mistaken for root problems when they are actually stems. Dr. Sams highlights the importance of identifying true root causes in order to effectively manage and resolve symptoms and covers the most common ones. By focusing on these roots and addressing the stems, she outlines a path to better managing food reactions and improving overall health. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how to navigate gluten and dairy sensitivities using this insightful approach.

(Note: I'd like to make a clarification. When describing similarities between gluten and dairy reactions, I intended to say that "lactose is the base of lactic acid," not that "lactose is based out of lactic acid" as stated in the recording. Please keep this in mind while listening. Thanks! - Dr. Alexis)
