❌Why avoid these ingredients?

• Dairy can promote mucus production, inflammation, and hormonal disruption, and often worsens acne, sinus issues, and gut permeability

• Eggs can feed pathogens and trigger immune reactions in sensitive people, contributing to inflammation and skin or gut symptoms

• Gluten can damage the gut lining (increasing intestinal permeability) and drive autoimmune and inflammatory responses even in non-celiacs

• Conventional soy is highly processed and estrogenic, often GMO, and can disrupt hormones and thyroid function in susceptible individuals

• Pork can harbor pathogens and inflammatory fats, and Medical Medium notes it as particularly hard on the liver and immune system

• Industrial citric acid is often mold-derived and can trigger histamine reactions, gut irritation, and inflammation in sensitive individuals

• Corn is commonly GMO, pesticide-heavy, and can spike blood sugar while irritating the gut and feeding pathogenic microbes

• Seed oils are highly processed, oxidized, and inflammatory, contributing to metabolic dysfunction and chronic disease

• Carrageenan can inflame the gut lining and disrupt the microbiome, potentially worsening IBS and leaky gut

• Maltodextrin rapidly spikes blood sugar and feeds harmful gut bacteria, worsening dysbiosis and inflammation

• Factory-farmed animals are exposed to antibiotics, hormones, and stress, which can transfer inflammatory compounds and disrupt human gut and hormone health
