Did you know that fear of food might actually create intolerance? Now, no one is saying intolerance symptoms are “all in your head” because they’re not...but the nervous system is definitely involved. Fear is a full body reaction and the stories we hear about certain foods can imprint that fear on to our nervous (read: "limbic") system. Wendy Busse knows that well: In dealing with clients who fell into what she calls “Conditioned Food Sensitivity,” the registered dietitian noticed people were both suffering from very real symptoms and only eating a handful of foods: one client had even eliminated all but 2 foods. So Wendy decided she wanted to understand this phenomenon and, shortly after, developed a program called The Food Avoidance and Sensitivity Trap Freedom Program. About Wendy: Wendy is a registered dietitian and food sensitivity expert (for over 25-years!). She is the FAST Freedom Program director: FAST = Food Avoidance &amp; Sensitivity Trap. Wendy and her dietitian partners help food sensitive people rebuild body and food trust so they can expand their diet and enjoy the simple pleasures of a good meal. On this episode we chat about:  The difference between food allergies, food intolerance, and food sensitivity. What causes each of these reactions?  The two reasons symptoms can appear: physically driven reactions (e.g. celiac disease, peanut anaphylaxis) and conditioned food sensitivity (e.g. learned, fear-based reactions)  Why there is no universal diet. Pssst: it’s all trends  Conditioned Food Sensitivity: a Pavlovian concept describing body/food mistrust and spiraling food avoidance  How the fear of food or the expectation that specific foods will cause reactions may cause real physiological symptoms  Why advice constantly changes and why that can cause confusion and suffering  How the limbic system, a part of our brain that controls our fight-or-flight response, can suppress our immune system  How to stop ruminating about food. (Have you ever heard of a scrap paper journal?)   Wendy and I connected over our mutual exasperation of elimination diets gone wrong and her insights put everything into perspective … restrictive diets almost always cause more harm than good and Wendy dives into the nerdy science with me to explain why that is. Her grace (She calls herself “old-fashioned” but she’s really just classy!) and compassion both shine right through in this episode and I’m so excited for you to hear it! Learned something new?

Busting the Myths Surrounding Food Intolerance with Wendy Busse

Have you ever thought about how your perceptions can significantly influence your body's reaction to food?Food should be pleasurable, but unfortunately for so many people, it's a source of fear, anxiety and overwhelm.In our world of influencer marketing and Dr. Google, it’s no wonder we’re more confused than ever about what and how to eat.The anxiety and confusion that happens when we view food as bad or evil, can lead to beliefs that create poor health perceptions, and even a stress response that can impact the body in more ways than we realize.In today's episode, I'm talking with Wendy Busse, a registered dietician from Alberta, Canada, and nationally recognized food sensitivity expert.Wendy has over 25 years of experience in the field of food allergies and sensitivities. Her interest in the mind-body connection and experience in seeing clients in the “gray zone,” who do not fit neatly into any clinical practice guidelines and often fall through the cracks, led her on a journey to develop the food avoidance and sensitivity trap FAST model, and the theory of conditioned food sensitivity.Currently she is the director of the FAST Freedom Program, a guided self-reflection process that helps food-sensitive clients rebuild body and food trust so they can expand their diet and enjoy the simple pleasure of a good meal.Listen to the full episode to hear:The definition of conditioned food sensitivity and common red flags you might be stuck in this cycleHow mistrust of our bodies can lead to a cascade of symptoms and restrictionsWhy taking research holidays can be key to accepting that there isn’t always an answerWhat you can do to start healing your relationship with food and your bodyClick here for resources.
