Not all weight gain stems from overeating or skipping the gym. Clinical nutritionist and diabetes educator Kanikka Malhotra reveals that chronic inflammation caused by food sensitivities may be the real culprit behind bloating, swelling, and stubborn weight.

The IgG Food Sensitivity Test evaluates Immunoglobulin G antibodies, helping identify foods your immune system reacts to. These reactions don't cause immediate allergies but trigger slow, persistent inflammation in the body. This inflammation may disrupt insulin, increase fluid retention, and even skew hunger hormones making you feel hungrier.

“Addressing these hidden food sensitivities,” says Malhotra, “can reduce systemic inflammation, improve digestion, and support healthy weight management.”

Importantly, what may look like fat could simply be inflammation-driven swelling. Eliminating trigger foods based on your IgG results can break the cycle and unlock better health without drastic dieting.
