Food Sensitivity Testing

Is your food making you sick?

Millions of Americans suffer from food sensitivities, often without realizing it. Symptoms such as irritable bowel, chronic diarrhea, acid reflux, migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, skin eruptions, and brain fog are commonly related to food sensitivities. Even so-called "healthy foods" can provoke symptoms in sensitive individuals.

​

If foods or additives in your diet are triggering your symptoms, medications may only mask the problem without addressing the root cause. The first step in relief is identifying your trigger foods and food chemicals.

​

Traditional Testing Limitations:
Standard tests like ELISA IgG detect only Type 3 sensitivity reactions, accounting for about 25% of food sensitivity reactions, and do not identify reactions to food chemicals.

​

MRT (Mediator Release Test):

The LEAP. ​patented Mediator Release Test (MRT) detects both Type 3 and Type 4 sensitivity reactions, providing faster, more comprehensive relief. The MRT tests 176 foods and chemicals, creating an “immuno-calm” diet plan tailored to your needs. Independent studies confirm MRT as the most accurate and comprehensive test available.

Gut Microbiome Testing

Unlock the health of your gut microbiome.

Unlock the secrets of your gut microbiome with advanced stool testing. Both the GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) and the GI Effects® Comprehensive Stool Profile provide cutting-edge insights into your gut health, using DNA analysis to evaluate microbial diversity, abundance, and function. These tests are invaluable tools for identifying imbalances that may contribute to a variety of health conditions, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), autoimmune disorders and celiac disease, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, mood disorders and autism, and malabsorption disorders and systemic inflammation.

​

Key Insights Provided by Testing

• Pathogens and Infection: Detection of bacteria, viruses, and parasites.

• Inflammation: Assessment of markers that indicate digestive and systemic inflammation.

• Digestive Function: Evaluation of digestive and absorption efficiency.

• Microbial Imbalance: Measurement of microbial diversity, abundance, and ecosystem health. 

​

​By identifying imbalances and dysfunctions in your gut microbiome, these tests empower the development of personalized strategies to restore gut health and improve overall well-being. Whether addressing specific symptoms or optimizing general health, GI-MAP and GI Effects are essential tools for achieving a healthier you. ​

Dutch Hormone Testing  

Comprehensive Hormone Insights
The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) provides the most detailed analysis of hormone levels and metabolism available. This test measures hormones such as cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, and their metabolites, offering insights into stress response, reproductive health, and overall hormonal balance. 

​

The DUTCH test is ideal for assessing conditions like:

• Hormonal imbalances, including PCOS and menopause.

• Adrenal dysfunction or chronic stress.

• Sleep disturbances, fatigue, or mood issues.​​​

Vitamin and Mineral Testing

Are you getting the nutrients you need? 

Research shows that up to 50% of people taking multivitamins are still nutritionally deficient. Traditional blood serum testing measures nutrient levels at a single point in time, offering a “snapshot” rather than a full picture of nutritional health.

​

Micronutrient Testing by Spectracell Laboratories
This advanced test analyzes the intracellular function of nutrients in your white blood cells, which store nutritional history for 4–6 months. It provides a detailed profile of deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids—often undetected by standard lab tests. Identifying these deficiencies is essential for addressing chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and more.​

 

The Bacterial Overgrowth of the Small Intestine Breath Test (SIBO)

Are you bloated after eating? 
Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) often underlies chronic symptoms like bloating, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Studies suggest that up to 75% of IBS sufferers may have SIBO.

The SIBO Breath Test is a simple diagnostic tool that identifies bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine, helping address the root cause of malabsorption and IBS symptoms.

 

Advanced Lipid Testing

Did you know 50% of heart attack victims have normal cholesterol levels?
Standard cholesterol tests can be misleading, as they fail to identify particle sizes and key inflammatory markers linked to heart disease.

Lipoprotein Particle Profile (LPP):
Advanced lipid testing provides a deeper understanding of cardiovascular risk by analyzing:

• Lipoprotein particle size and number.

• Inflammatory biomarkers contributing to heart disease.

This detailed profile enables more effective, personalized strategies to reduce your risk of heart disease or heart attack.

 

NutraEval Testing

What nutritional imbalances may be affecting you?
The NutrEval Test is a comprehensive evaluation of nutrient imbalances, analyzing:

• Amino Acids: Critical for protein building and metabolic health.

• Organic Acids: Indicators of nutrient utilization and detoxification needs.

• Fatty Acids: Essential for cellular function and brain health.

• Nutrients and Toxic Elements: Identifying deficiencies and toxic overload (e.g., heavy metals).

• Antioxidants: Measuring oxidative stress, which impacts aging, immunity, and chronic disease risk.

This test provides the insights needed to address deficiencies and optimize overall health.

 

Additional Tests Offered:

• Adrenal Stress Profile

• Heavy Metal Testing

• Genomic Testing

• Celiac/Gluten Sensitivity Testing

• And More!​​​​​​
