Can Food Sensitivities be Reversed?

On Sunday, April 30, we held a lunch and social and informative talk on Dr. William Davis’ latest book Super Gut and a first-hand experience applying Dr. Davis’ Super Gut protocol!

Ever wonder why people in first world countries increasingly seem to experience more food sensitivities and allergies? If we knew the root cause(s) of this trend, could we reverse it? Guillermo and I shared our experiences with implementing the first phase of Dr. William Davis’ protocol, as described in his latest book Super Gut.

The presentation covered:
