Here at our clinic, we believe strongly that “food is medicine”. If you give your body the right fuel required, it can do its job of healing, growing and creating energy to keep you living your best life. For this reason, our clinic offers “Food Intolerance Testing" (FIT). This test allows our Doctors to see what foods your body cannot properly digest, and if able to cut that food out of your daily diet, you can take stress off of your digestive system. Making the change towards avoiding your food intolerances can seem a little intimidating at first, but this process is nothing to fear. Our in-house nutritionist Lindsay has her very own recipe to help those trying to regulate their diet. Here is what she had to say:

“I thought I’d go with something simple, cleanse and FIT friendly, and a recipe that comes up often during my nutritional consults. A lot of folks are going dairy- free these days and many of the coconut milk brands out there fortify their products with B- vitamins (potato based) and add a lot of other filler ingredients, plus they are expensive! This recipe takes only a couple of ingredients and a few minutes to make. It also tastes better than store-bought and is free of those fillers and additives. Use it as a base for chia seed puddings, smoothies, golden milk, dairy-free sauces and more!” - Lindsay McDonald, MscN
