Food Sensitivity Testing & Immune Analysis in Ontario
Identify Your Triggers. Restore Your Tolerance. Stop the Guesswork.
If you are struggling with persistent bloating, "Endo-belly," unexplained skin flares, or the systemic exhaustion of chronic inflammation, you know that generic elimination diets are often frustrating and unsustainable. When your body reacts to the foods you eat, it isn't just about the food—it’s about how your immune system is responding to it.
In my virtual naturopathic practice, we can engage with IgG Food Sensitivity Testing to identify the specific proteins that are triggering your immune system. If we understand that, we can create a precise roadmap to reduce inflammation and restore your digestive foundation.
Understanding the Science: Allergy vs. Sensitivity
It is common to have a "normal" allergy test yet still feel unwell after eating. This is because your immune system has different ways of responding to triggers.
IgE Mediated (Allergy): This is a classic, immediate reaction (like a peanut allergy) that causes hives, swelling, or respiratory distress.
IgG Mediated (Sensitivity): These are delayed reactions that can appear hours or even days after consumption. Because the response is slow, it is nearly impossible to identify the trigger without specialized testing. These sensitivities are often the "hidden" drivers behind chronic brain fog, joint pain, and digestive distress.
The LifeLabs Partnership: Seamless Testing Across Ontario
To ensure the highest clinical standards and patient convenience, we utilize the RMA Food Sensitivity Test through LifeLabs. This is one of the most comprehensive panels available, testing for over 200 different food antigens.
Comprehensive Panels: We can screen for a wide range of proteins, including dairy, gluten, grains, meats, and vegetarian-specific markers.
Actionable Data: Your results are presented in a clear, color-coded report that categorizes foods by "Avoid," "Rotate," or "Safe."
The Virtual Process: I provide a digital requisition that you can take to any LifeLabs location in Toronto, Ottawa, or anywhere in Ontario. The blood draw is quick, and the results are sent directly to me for clinical analysis.
A Strategic Roadmap to Food Freedom
We don't just give you a list of "forbidden foods." My evidence-based virtual process ensures your data is used to build long-term health:
MSc-Level Interpretation: Using my Master of Science in Nutritional Sciences, I look at your results through the lens of intestinal permeability (Leaky Gut). If you are reacting to a large number of healthy foods, the issue isn't the food—it’s the gut lining.
The Reintroduction Strategy: We use your results to "calm" the immune system for a set period, while simultaneously working to repair the gut barrier so that you can eventually enjoy a diverse diet again.
Systemic Integration: We address how these sensitivities may be "revving up" other issues, such as hormonal imbalances, hair loss, or thyroid dysfunction.
