Allergies & Intolerances

Are you tired of allergies or intolerances continually interfering with your daily life? Motus Integrative Health can help you reclaim your well-being with a functional medicine approach that aims to truly get to the root of the problem. Whether you’re dealing with allergies and immune responses or intolerances that impact digestion, our holistic methods are designed to improve your quality of life.

Understanding Allergies and Intolerances

What are Allergies?

Allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies an otherwise harmless substance, like pollen, pet dander, or certain foods, as a threat. This triggers an immune response, which may cause symptoms such as swelling, itching, hives, sneezing, or, in severe cases, anaphylaxis—a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Common allergens include peanuts, shellfish, and insect stings.

What are Intolerances?

Unlike allergies, intolerances do not involve the immune system. Rather, they are related to the digestive system’s inability to properly process or break down certain foods. Symptoms may be similar to those of irritable bowel syndrome such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, or stomach pain, and while uncomfortable, they are usually not life-threatening. Examples include lactose intolerance, where the body lacks the enzyme to digest lactose, and gluten intolerance, which affects those sensitive to the gluten in wheat.

The Importance of Treating Allergies and Intolerances Holistically

Despite their differences, both of these conditions can significantly impact your lifestyle, making it essential to address them effectively. Addressing the root causes instead of merely overcoming symptoms leads to lasting relief and better health outcomes. By integrating functional medicine approaches, we personalize your treatment plan to suit your unique history, lifestyle, and specific triggers.
