Food IgG Intolerance

Functional Lab Testing, specifically Food IgG Intolerance Testing, is a vital tool in understanding and addressing food sensitivities. Food sensitivities occur when the body reacts adversely to certain foods, often those consumed regularly or even craved. These reactions can manifest in a variety of symptoms.

Research has highlighted the role of IgG antibodies in food sensitivities. While IgG antibodies typically do not cause harm, they can provoke symptoms when the immune or digestive system is not functioning optimally.

Our Food Sensitivity Test is designed to detect food-specific IgG antibodies present in your blood. By identifying these antibodies, individuals and their healthcare providers can pinpoint potential “problem” foods. Armed with this knowledge, tailored dietary and lifestyle interventions can be planned to alleviate symptoms and promote overall wellness.

The diseases and conditions that have been associated with raised levels of food IgG antibodies:

 

  • Inflammatory conditions

  • Joint pain

  • Skin issues – eczema, acne

  • Gastrointestinal : Bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea,

  • Irritable bowel syndrome

  • Weight loss issues, cravings

  • Fatigue / insomnia 

  • Headaches and Migraines

Hair Mineral Analysis

Hair Mineral Analysis is a powerful tool used to assess long-term mineral levels and detect potential imbalances within the body. Unlike other tests affected by recent meals, activities, or emotional states, hair analysis provides a stable reading over a three-month period.

This non-invasive procedure involves collecting a small sample of hair, typically from the scalp, which is then analyzed for mineral content. (If head hair is not available, then finger or toe nails can be substituted). Minerals play crucial roles in various bodily functions, and imbalances can lead to health issues.

One of the significant advantages of hair analysis is its ability to detect toxic metal accumulation. While these metals may not remain in the blood or urine for long, they tend to deposit in the hair, offering a window into long-term exposure.

Improper mineral balance has been connected to:

Furthermore, mineral deficiencies can often lead to the substitution of vital minerals by toxic metals in the body. By identifying these imbalances, practitioners can tailor nutritional and wellness regimens to address specific needs.

 

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Weight gain/loss

  • Malabsorption

  • Depression

  • Osteoporosis

Genova Metabolomix Test

The Metabolomix+ is a unique combination of nutritional tests that provides an analysis of key nutritional biomarkers. A first morning void (FMV) urine collection, with optional add-on bloodspot finger stick and buccal swab, the Metabolomix+ nutritional test is a non-invasive, patient-friendly way to assess the functional need for antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, digestive support, fatty acids, and amino acids.

Insights gained from the Metabolomix+ nutritional test allows clinicians to target nutritional therapies to address underlying insufficiencies and promote health and longevity.

What is a functional nutritional assessment?

Genova’s unique approach to nutritional testing begins by assessing our body’s biochemical pathways. Marked accumulation of organic acids in urine can signal a metabolic inhibition or block. The metabolic block may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, toxic build-up, or drug effect. 

Enzymes that are responsible for metabolizing organic acids are vitamin and mineral dependent. With this, elevations in organic acids can reflect a functional need for these nutrients on a cellular and biochemical level, even despite normal serum levels. Recommendations for nutrient supplementation based on elevated organic acid results are generated using a literature-based proprietary algorithm.

  • You experience fatigue, mood swings, or brain fog without clear cause

  • You have a history of poor diet, chronic stress, or high toxin exposure

  • You’re struggling with inflammation, gut issues, or skin problems

  • You want to optimize your health, energy, and longevity

  • You suspect nutrient imbalances or poor absorption

  • You’ve tried multiple approaches but still don’t feel your best

Dutch Test

The Comprehensive Dutch Hormone Test offers unparalleled insights into your hormone health. Designed to provide a holistic understanding of your body’s hormonal balance, this test goes beyond conventional assessments. By analyzing how efficiently your body utilizes hormones and detoxifies excess hormones, we unveil the underlying factors contributing to perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, as well as chronic conditions related to stress, sleep, and fatigue.

What sets our test apart is its comprehensive approach. Not only does it uncover hormone imbalances, but it also sheds light on nutrient deficiencies, gut imbalances, neurotransmitter levels, and oxidative stress markers. 

Tests include:

  • Adrenal hormones and metabolites
  • Organic acids
  • Sex hormones and metabolites
  • Melatonin
