Are you dealing with bloating, fatigue, or digestive issues that no one seems to be able to explain? You could be reacting to something you’re eating without even realising it. At Livingspring Wellbeing, we help you identify and manage food intolerances using personalised nutritional therapy and a functional, whole-person approach.
As a trusted nutritional therapist in Aberdeen, we’ve helped many clients uncover the foods that are disrupting their health—and take practical steps toward feeling better.
What Are Food Intolerances?
Food intolerances occur when your body has difficulty processing certain foods, leading to chronic symptoms that can be hard to trace. They differ from food allergies, which are immune-based and often cause immediate, more serious reactions.
Common symptoms of food intolerance include:
- Bloating and gas
- Fatigue or energy dips
- Headaches or migraines
- Skin problems such as acne or eczema
- Mood swings or irritability
- Brain fog
These symptoms can linger for hours or even days after eating. For many people in Aberdeen, learning to recognise and respond to these reactions can be the first step to lasting relief.
Why You Shouldn’t Guess – The Importance of Testing
Many people try elimination diets on their own or go gluten- or dairy-free without guidance. While these may help short term, without a structured plan, they can result in unnecessary restriction or missed nutrients.
At Livingspring Wellbeing, we take a personalised approach to identifying food-related symptoms—looking at your lifestyle, diet history, symptoms, and response to changes. Rather than relying on unreliable testing, we support clients through careful food and symptom tracking, followed by structured reintroduction.
Our approach helps you:
- Identify foods that may be triggering symptoms
- Avoid unnecessary dietary restriction
- Support long-term healing with appropriate nutrition
- Gradually reintroduce foods that may have caused problems in the past
This method helps reduce food fear and empowers you to build a diet that works with your body, not against it.
If you’re experiencing ongoing symptoms like bloating or fatigue, it might be time to explore your overall gut health and wellbeing through a personalised plan supported by functional testing.
Our Functional Medicine Approach
Our nutritional therapy services in Aberdeen are guided by the functional medicine model, which looks at how systems in the body are connected. Instead of asking “What’s wrong?” we ask, “Why is this happening?”
Our process includes:
- One-to-one consultation to understand your history and symptoms
- Detailed diet and symptom analysis
- A phased approach to food removal and reintroduction
- Ongoing support as your body heals and adapts
Whether your symptoms are digestive, skin-related, hormonal, or energy-related, we build a complete picture to support your recovery.
How Nutritional Therapy Helps Improve Food Intolerances
Once we’ve identified your food triggers, we help you create a practical plan that works for you—not against you.
Rebalancing the Gut
Many food intolerances are linked to poor gut health. We use nutrition and lifestyle tools to rebuild the gut lining, support the microbiome, and improve digestion.
Reducing Inflammation
Removing problematic foods helps reduce the chronic inflammation that underlies so many symptoms—from skin flare-ups to fatigue.
Reintroducing Foods (When Possible)
We don’t believe in permanent restriction unless necessary. Once your body heals, some foods may be reintroduced without reaction.
Supporting Nutrient Absorption
Clients with food intolerances often have nutrient insufficiencies. We identify and correct these through diet and whole-food support to restore balance.
