Do you ever think your fatigue, mood swings, brain fog or skin flare-ups are âall in your headâ? What if theyâre really in your cells? What if invisible inflammation is the culprit?
Hereâs the truthâfood sensitivities = inflammation in the body = symptoms that feel mental, but are physical. ďżź
⸝
đ Whatâs going on under the hood?
⢠Sometimes a food that seems âhealthyâ triggers an immune response without you noticingâbecause reactions can be delayed by up to 72â96 hours. ďżź
⢠These immune reactions release inflammatory mediators like histamines, cytokines, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins. ￟
⢠Over time, that silent inflammation shows up as fatigue, skin issues (eczema, rashes), joint pain, digestive upset, headaches or migraines, brain fog, or even mood shifts. ￟
⸝
đĄ Why you feel the way you do
⢠Your body may be trying to tell you that something in your diet isnât the right fit.
⢠You might assume itâs stress or âjust aging,â but it could be your immune system quietly over-reacting to something you consume regularly.
⢠Because symptoms arenât immediate, itâs easy to blame them on everything but what you eat.

What you can do about it
1. Track & Notice
Start a food-and-symptoms journal. When did you eat something? When did you feel awful? Look for patterns.
2. Consider Testing
Food sensitivity testing (like MRT / LEAP approaches used by Food Sensitivity Dietitian) helps you identify which foods your body might be reacting toâeven ones you think are âhealthy.â ďżź
3. Work With Someone Who Understands
A dietitian trained in food sensitivities can help you craft a diet plan that reduces inflammation without unnecessary or overly restrictive restrictions.
