An Elimination Diet is for you if…
You want to know if you have a food sensitivity.
You want to know if you have a food sensitivity. And you’d rather not have a blood test. There are some blood tests that claim to diagnose food sensitivities, however, the evidence to support this testing can be unreliable.
An Elimination Diet is the gold standard for the diagnosis of food sensitivities, food intolerances and food allergies. Plus, no needle sticks!
You are tired of feeling like crap.
You are tired of feeling like crap. You feel… tired, anxious, and your belly is bloated. You have headaches, can’t sleep, have acne or other skin conditions, or take antacids for heart burn. You feel fat, clear your throat after drinking milk or eating ice cream, and have excess gas (either burps or farts). You struggle figuring out what to eat and you place yourself at the end of everyone’s list.
You are tired of all of it.

You’ve started to make connections to food and feeling.
You’ve started to make connections to food and feeling, but can’t seem to pinpoint exactly what is happening. An Elimination Diet gives you a chance to focus on your symptoms, helping you link them to foods. You’ve come this far, why not jump in 100%?
HANGRY is a common OCCURRENCE.
Hangry is a common occurrence around your house. You may have said this in fun, but likely your family doesn’t see you as fun. Mood swings are not normal, and certain foods can trigger feelings of anger, irritation, annoyance and displeasure. It’s time to determine which foods are making you ‘need a Snickers bar’.
You’re tired of being SAD.
The Standard American Diet is SAD and you are tired of it! So many of the foods you are faced with daily are the cause of your feelings of zapped energy, anxiety, belly bloating, heartburn, flatulence, and headaches. It’s time to learn a new way of seeing your food, so instead of SAD you get MAD (Make a Difference in you!).
You’ve said, “I’m just getting old”.
If you’ve said, "I'm just getting old, that's why I feel this way", then it’s time to re-frame old ways of thinking and to establish new habits and behaviors that support your vitality and zest for life!
The EFP will help you see that certain foods are the cause of you feeling old, because inflammation, cell damage, and a leaky gut, among other things are aging your strong body faster than necessary!
Your Healthcare Provider said, “you need to fix your diet”.
Your healthcare provider said, “You need to fix your diet”, but they didn’t have time to tell you how to do it. Our healthcare system is not set up to spend personalized time with you to educate and coach you to use your health as a super-power.
Sometimes you need to take your own action and fix your diet yourself. Why not fix your diet alongside others who are doing it too?
“I was bloated and inflamed and couldn’t understand why I couldn’t feel better. I didn’t sleep well either. I had a friend who suggested I take this class. It was life changing for me.
I am now filled with powerful information and tools I will use the rest of my life. That’s priceless.
Biggest lesson I learned? Food is medicine. ”
You are sick of wasting money and time on stuff that doesn’t work.
You are sick of wasting money and time on stuff that doesn’t work. It sucks buying fad supplements and products that promise you a big change, only to find out they don’t do anything, or worse, they cause other problems in your health and life.
The EFP does not require you to spend money on supplements or products, instead, you will spend your hard earned cash on food that you and your family will eat and enjoy, all while giving your body time to heal, renew and re-energize. Now that is a wise investment!
You are ready to take action.
You are ready to take action to discover which food is the culprit of your health issue. Perhaps your doctor has said, “you need to fix your diet”, but they didn’t tell you how to do it. An Elimination Diet helps you know if food is a cause of your health issue, because you will learn to listen to your body, mind and spirit and uncover the hidden truths you’ve been missing.
You want to own your health!
You want to own your health and be your own authority, and you are ready to take action to improve it, slow down an illness or condition, or just understand your own body, mind and spirit better. It’s as simple as that.
“I’m a 52 year old mom with early onset Parkinson’s Disease. I took lots of medicines to control tremors, muscle cramping & slow movement. I could barely clean my house. Fatigue, pain, bloating, muscle cramps, & brain fog were constant. I slept all the time & couldn’t shop at the mall without a wheelchair & helper.
After doing the Elimination Food Plan, I firmly believe that my habits & behaviors affect my health!! Friends & family see the difference instantly. I am alert, alive, focused, motivated. Pain is all but non-existent & I rarely experience muscle cramps. I can toil all day, & I CAN cook. I am now doing yoga & have cut my medication by over half!!
I have learned so much & will continue to focus on what my body wants & needs. This has truly been life changing & I am so grateful!”
