A simple plan to uncover your food triggers
You’re eating healthy, following all the rules, and still stuck. What gives?
For many women over 40, hidden food sensitivities are the missing link in weight loss resistance. It’s not about how much you eat — it’s about how your body responds to what you eat.
These reactions trigger inflammation, disrupt hormones, bloat your belly, and sabotage fat-burning efforts.
"Even the healthiest foods can cause issues if your body sees them as a threat."
Unlike allergies (which cause immediate reactions), food sensitivities are delayed immune responses. They often show up hours or even days later as:
Bloating or fluid retention
Brain fog
Skin issues
Mood swings
Stubborn weight, especially around the belly
The constant, low-grade inflammation from these reactions puts your body in "defense mode," raising cortisol and storing fat.
These aren’t inherently bad foods, but they can become triggers:
Dairy (especially whey, casein)
Gluten and refined grains
Eggs (especially egg whites)
Soy
Nightshades (tomatoes, peppers)
"I had no idea eggs and dairy were causing my migraines and bloating. Removing them helped me lose 10 pounds and feel clear-headed again." — Laura, 53
Your gut is home to 70% of your immune system. When it’s inflamed from food triggers or stress, your body holds onto weight and energy crashes.
A disrupted microbiome affects:
Hormone metabolism
Detoxification
Nutrient absorption
Cravings and appetite regulation
