Welcome to Ask Whole9 Canada, where Summer Innanen and Sarah Ramsden answer all of your health and nutrition questions. In this week’s episode, Summer and Sarah discuss how to manage food restrictions in social settings.

Sharing food amongst friends and family is part of our social culture. It’s something that brings us together and connects us. However, it can feel like we are inconveniencing others when we refuse food based on our food sensitivities and we see lots of clients who decide to suffer the physical consequences of a reaction versus the often over-exaggerated emotional consequences of refusing food.

In this episode of S&STV, we give you the best strategies on managing food sensitivities in social settings.

Also, check out our video on how to deal with unsupportive people.
