Discover any current imbalances with this intolerance testing kit.

$175.00

Are you experiencing migraines, constipation or skin rashes? Do you suspect you might have an intolerance? Intolerance testing uses a sample of your hair to determine your sensitivity to up to 900 food and non-food items.

Intolerance testing tests food items including everyday foods and common fridge items, and non-food items such as pets and pollens. Testing includes a nutritional deficiency, metal toxicity, gut biome and hormonal balance analysis. It also includes an extensive analysis for gut biome, digestive health, hormonal imbalances as well as nutritional deficiencies and common metal sensitivities.

This test only requires a small hair sample which can be collected from the comfort of your own home! Unlike blood and urine tests which can be affected by recent food intake or stress, hair testing is unaffected by the tested person’s most recent activity and is able to assess one’s health covering a much longer period of time.

Once you place the order, a sample collection kit will be sent by post to your address. The intolerance testing kit will contain all you require to perform the test. The hair sample collection process is relatively simple and easy. After the laboratory receives your sample, results will be available in 10-15 working days.

*Please note that this testing kit does NOT include an analysis to go over your results with one of our coaches. We highly recommend getting the analysis as the document is quite large (60+ pages) and can be confusing to digest on your own. There is also minimal information available in the results document, whereas a analysis with our coach provides you with a full recap email and support.

Frequently Asked Questions:

My hair is very short, can I still take the test?
The hair sample does not have to be from the head. The hair sample for this test can be from any part of the body including the leg, arm or chest.

My hair is dyed, will this affect the test results?
No, the test is completed using the composition of the hair sample so hair colouring will have no effect on the results.

What do my results actually mean?
The items on the list that display a colour indicate a minimum intolerance level of 85% and are graded as low, medium or high within these parameters. For instance if you are lactose or milk intolerant it will display red or yellow.

It is common for something that has never caused you an issue before to start doing so. It depends on your diet, habits and environment. If for reasons of poor immune system levels or poor diet, you have too much of one particular element in your system, your body will have trouble dealing with these increased levels. The side effects of this imbalance are known as intolerance.

What is exactly determined in the metal toxicity analysis?
This health test does not indicate how much of any given metal is present in your body. The metal toxicity analysis determines one’s sensitivity to the metals included in the test. Sensitivity to one particular metal will cause a reaction when direct or indirect contact is made meaning that you don’t necessarily have to actually touch it. It could mean that it’s a metal that is present somewhere in your daily surroundings and you are exposed to it. Common sources include machinery operated at work and metals used in air conditioning systems.

What’s the difference between a food allergy and a food intolerance?
You may have the same symptoms if you suffer from a food allergy or food intolerance, however, there are some important differences you should be aware of.

Allergies to a particular item generally have an immediate reaction, activate the immune system, and exposure can happen via many different methods including ingestion, inhalation, topically or otherwise. Allergies can also be life threatening, and symptoms often are things like swelling, itching, hives or anaphylaxis.

Food intolerance or food sensitivity are generally less severe than allergies, you won’t necessarily feel the reaction immediately. Think of it like adding water to a rain barrel- eventually overtime with lots of exposure, that inflammation builds and causes the barrel to overflow, causing a reaction to happen. This sometime can take hours, days, weeks or even years before a particular item causes a reaction (or a severe problem). Food intolerance or sensitivity also only happens via one route, orally, and does not impact the immune system.
