Therapeutic diets are promoted everywhere and for a multitude of symptoms. Whether it’s low fodmap, sibo diet, low carb, low histamine and of course elimination diets.
But what is the actual evidence for these? And how do we personalise them to us?
On the podcast with me today is Ben Brown, my go to expert when it comes to anything nutrition and supplement related. Ben is founder and director of the Nutritional Medicine Institute, an educational, advocacy and research group committed to advancing the science and practice of nutritional medicine.
Ben is on the academic advisory board and a guest lecturer at BCNH College of Nutrition and Health and guest lectures at the Institute of Optimum Nutrition and the Centre for Nutrition Education & Lifestyle Management.
On this episode we dive into the evidence base for a ton of diets, how one would test for a gluten intolerance, we also talk about home test kits for things like allergies and intolerances and whether they’re at all worth it.
If you want to hear more from Ben and you’re interested in these topics I highly recommend you check out the NMI conference that will be on later this year in October 2024. I attended last year and I was blown away by the quality of lectures from medical doctors, researchers and nutrition professionals. This years theme is “Mitochondrial Nutrition for Fatigue, the Brain, and Healthy Ageing”: https://www.nmi.health/nmi-summit-2024/
