Are food intolerances making you sick, tired, or overweight?

Thu, Jan 20, 2022

What foods turn off your metabolism? Yvonne Duffy O’Shaughnessy, The Health and Nutrition Coach, offers blood analysis to help you find out what foods are slowing down your metabolism. Do you find it impossible to lose weight and keep it off despite your best efforts to diet? Does everyone around you seem to eat more than you - and yet somehow end up slimmer? Do most of your excess pounds sit around your tummy? Do you feel tired for much of the time, irritable and unable to focus?

Yvonne Duffy O’Shaughnessy has being working with weight loss patients with excellent success over the last number of years, see Facebook for testimonials. She offers online food intolerance testing from her website and in her clinic here in Galway. Many people just cannot identify what food is causing them so much digestive discomfort. Many people who suffer with heartburn, acid reflux, constipation, or diarrhoea spend years addressing these issues with medication, to no avail. By identifying what foods you are not digesting well and not breaking down correctly, you can then remove them from your diet and replace them with foods you can digest well. As a result you will start to notice the difference in your energy, your digestive system, your skin, and your mood.
