Getting rid of food allergies with Sonia Hunt

Author: Barry Luijbregts September 5, 2022 Duration: 57:17

In this episode I'm talking with Sonia Hunt, who is the number one best selling author of the book, Nut Job, and also a TedEx speaker with over a million views. We talk about: 

  • Sonia's journey from being allergic to things like nuts, to not being allergic to them anymore, which is incredible 
  • Sonia talks about how she actually got rid of her allergies 
  • We talk about mindset
  • About the healthcare system 
  • And much more...

I apologise for my audio quality in this episode. I found out after the recording that my microphone was dying. I've replaced it and will do better next time. Luckily, Sonia does most of the talking.
