The podcast episode discusses a simple and inexpensive test called the pulse test that can help determine if an individual has a food allergy. By checking their pulse rate before and after eating, individuals can monitor any increase in pulse rate, which may indicate an allergic reaction. Dr. Arthur Koka, an MD, wrote a book called the Pulse Test that provides more information on this method. According to Dr. Koka, if there is a difference of 16 points or more between the low and high pulse rate, and the pulse rate is above 84, it is likely an allergy. By recording what was eaten before the high pulse rate, individuals can start narrowing down the potential allergens and identify specific foods that cause the reaction.
