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 NutrEval Test
The NutrEval® FMV (First Morning Void) is one of the most comprehensive functional nutrition tests available. It evaluates your body’s nutritional and metabolic health to identify functional imbalances and guide a personalized wellness approach. This test goes beyond standard nutrient panels by assessing how well your body is using key vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, antioxidants, and digestive support nutrients.
If you’re experiencing chronic symptoms with no clear explanation, NutrEval provides in-depth insight into what your body may be missing — helping you take a targeted, root-cause approach to improving your health.
What This Is About:
NutrEval® FMV evaluates over 125 biomarkers related to nutrition, metabolism, and cellular function. It highlights both deficiencies and excesses, revealing how your body is functioning on a biochemical level.
Rather than masking symptoms, these diagnostic tools help uncover the why behind your health challenges, empowering a more targeted and informed approach to care.
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
