What is Food Sensitivity Testing?
Food sensitivity testing (FST) identifies foods that may be triggering your immune system, often causing digestive, neurological and skin symptoms. Unlike food allergies, which involve severe immune responses, food sensitivities are typically related to enzyme deficiencies, poor microbiome health, and inadvertent immune involvement.
FSTs and elimination diets, pinpoint the triggers impacting your health. This allows us to guide you in making dietary changes to reduce symptoms and improve overall wellness.
While testing provides valuable insights, results should always be interpreted alongside a thorough medical evaluation to ensure accuracy in results and treatment plan.
