“I’m able to breathe better than I have in 10 years! And my digestion has never been better.”
-Tracy L. of Mercer Island, WA
Would you consider that a headache you have right now was caused by something you ate yesterday? Do you think your food might be making you sick? Or just keeping you from looking and feeling your best?
Discover your food fingerprint! Did you know your body has a unique food fingerprint different than anyone else? And that this fingerprint is dynamic and continues to develop over the course of your lifetime based on your individual pattern of nourishment, toxicity and exposure? Stop guessing and struggling with adverse food reactions. We can help you identify your body's positive and negative reactions to food sensitivity.
Go beyond traditional allergy tests & get better and more complete information about how your body reacts to food.
More than 1 in 3 Americans suffer significant food sensitivity reactions:
§ Some severe enough to cause irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, headaches and migraines, weight imbalances, skin eruptions, increased inflammation, food cravings, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and brain fog.
§ Even more difficult is that symptoms can occur as much as 48 hours after ingestion.
§ Even healthy foods such as salmon, chicken, broccoli or garlic can provoke symptoms in sensitive individuals.
Though useful, traditional IgG food allergy testing accounts for only 30-40% of adverse food reactions. We use a blood test that measures both type 3 and 4 immune system reactions.

We offer options for the test only or the test + personal nutrition coaching. Results usually are returned from the laboratory in 7 - 10 days.
I’m confused. What's the difference between a Food Allergy vs. Food Sensitivity?
True food allergies are an IgE response and cause the body to go into anaphylactic shock. Remarkably, just one molecule of the allergic food is needed to trigger a reaction. Peanuts and shellfish are examples. This type of reaction is the most dangerous but least common, affecting about 1-2% of the population.
Food sensitivity reactions are considered delayed allergic reactions and can manifest anywhere from 45 minutes to several days after eating. The reaction comes from a variety of immune system mechanisms, included IgG and IgM antibodies, white blood cells and C3 and C4 markers. Unlike the IgE reactions above, a response can be triggered from a small to large amount of food depending on the sensitivity of the individual.
Food intolerance can produce some digestive symptoms that are similar to food sensitivity, but it does not come directly from an immune system response like food allergies and food sensitivities. Lactose intolerance is a common example.
