Food Allergen Eliminations and Combined Protocols for Obesity Reduction: a Preliminary Comparison Study

January 28, 2019 updated by: Galveston Clinical Research Foundation
Screened subjects will be tested for hidden food allergies. Subjects will eliminate all food that showed leukocyte reactions for 90-days. Subjects will then also be invited to use the Willis Exercise protocol. Body composition testing and Body Mass Index calculation will be accomplished at enrollment and after completion of the 90-day study.

Detailed Description

Subjects will first be screened for cardiovascular pathologies and then tested for hidden food allergies. After the results subjects will eliminate all food that showed leukocyte reactions for 90-days. Subjects will then also be invited to use the Willis Exercise protocol (Aerobic-surge exercise > 75% max heart rate, for 2-minutes, 5/day.
