About the Episode:
Food should be nourishing, but sometimes foods can be provoking hidden stress that’s interfering with your child’s ability to grow, learn and develop! How is a parent supposed to figure out which foods are helpful and which foods are harmful, especially if they all seem like healthy options? In this episode, Jess invited Lori to talk about the impact of undiagnosed food allergies and food sensitivities on myriad developmental issues in kids including autism, ADHD, and more. Lori explains how parents can figure out which foods are helpful and what food sensitivity tests mean as she talks about her 18-year journey trying to nourish her own kids despite multiple food restrictions.

Guest Bio:
Lori is a Nutrition Consultant who has spent over a decade studying, researching and implementing nutritional interventions and other healing modalities for both her and her boys with multiple food allergies. She has developed a special passion for detecting hidden food sensitivities, helping parents understand complex conditions like lyme, seizures, autism, anaphylaxis & MCS, and uprooting digestive issues like IBD/IBS.
