Service Description
This session is designed for those wanting to focus on their gut health. By booking this appointment you are taking the first steps to getting on top of your gut health! Upon booking you will receive a referral to do a microbiome stool kit test and an IgG blood test to determine what food sensitivities you have. These tests are included in the cost. This way you come to your first session with the tests ready to go! What the stool test will look at: - Microbial diversity score - 7 Gastrointestinal markers & 14 functional microbiome markers - See microbiome’s potential contribution to inflammation, barrier integrity, and motility - Functional gut microbiome profile - Gastrointestinal health markers - Pathogen & parasite detection Every insight in the report is based on a rigorous scientific review of 1,200+ peer-reviewed papers over 7,000+ hours. What the IgG test looks at: Food sensitivities can cause a wide range of symptoms and disorders. The foods that cause these delayed reactions are often hard to diagnose because of the time between consumption and the physical reaction. The IgG food allergy test offers a useful tool for detecting the foods causing this response. The results are patient specific and provide an easy, precise and effective starting point for dietary manipulation.IgG (immunoglobulin G) testing is a useful guide for practitioners to structure an elimination diet for many chronic health conditions. The foods that cause these delayed reactions are often hard to diagnose because of the time between consumption and the physical reaction. Generally, an IgG reaction occurs hours to days after exposure to these food antigens.The IgG food allergy test offers a useful tool for detecting the foods causing this response. The results are patient specific and provide an easy, precise and effective starting point for dietary manipulation.When doing an IgG test, it is recommended to eat a large variety of foods in the two weeks prior to testing. Include as many of the foods that are being tested in the specific allergy panel you have chosen. Be aware that if foods are not included in the diet during this time, false negative results may be obtained as recent exposure to these foods may be required for antibodies to be present in the blood. PLEASE NOTE: Test kits can take between 3-5 days to be delivered. Expected results from returning samples to post, are 3-4 weeks. It is advised to book this session for 4 weeks in advance.
