Functional Medicine Elimination Diet Group Workshop

What is the Elimination Diet?

The elimination diet, also referred to as an exclusion diet, is a diagnostic approach employed to pinpoint foods that can have detrimental effects on an individual when consumed. These adverse effects can stem from food allergies, food intolerance and food sensitivities.

The elimination diet is a method involving the exclusion of specific foods that are more likely to trigger inflammation and undesirable health issues. Over a designated timeframe, the emphasis shifts towards consuming the finest quality of anti-inflammatory whole foods. These excluded foods are gradually reintroduced to aid in the identification of potentially problematic items. In the realm of functional medicine, the elimination diet stands as the benchmark for uncovering foods that do not align with your well-being, as well as those that contribute to your overall vitality. The insights gained from an elimination diet empower you to establish a sustainable food-as-medicine strategy for your lifelong health.

Who is this workshop for?

The workshop is ideal for individuals seeking to enhance their well-being and gain insight into foods that may adversely affect their health. The elimination diet can serve as a beneficial starting point for individuals looking to transition to a healthier diet. It provides an opportunity to reset and reassess one's dietary habits.

Additional facets of the elimination diet encompass its anti-inflammatory properties, its support for a healthy microbiome, its gluten-free and dairy-free nature, its richness in phytonutrients for gut healing, its reduction of the toxic burden, its enhancement of food awareness, and the absence of caloric restrictions.

One of the recent testimonials from individuals who undertook the Elimination Diet with me:

‘Before I started the Elimination diet I’d had digestion problems for several years.

My tummy felt bloated most of the time, I felt tired and lethargic and generally not myself. My bowel did not work properly, running to the bathroom several times a day with diarrhoea was exhausting. My food seemed to be passing through me undigested, sometimes I had to literally run to the bathroom fearing I wouldn’t get there in time. Not only was it tiring but really embarrassing, always checking where the nearest toilet was.

The diet was strict but helped me to understand how my body was reacting to foods in general. By being strict, then introducing different foods at a time really showed me what foods I had a problem with. The reaction was sometimes very quick. It’s been a huge relief as my bowel seems happy and settled, tummy is no longer bloated and I feel better than I have for ages. You have been very supportive, making helpful suggestions and always available to answer questions and send links to recipes and web sites. I feel you genuinely want to help and make me feel better.

Overall I feel the time and effort was well worth the results as I’m back in control of my body again and feeling so much better.

Thank you Joanna for all your help, Elaine’
