The Difference
Food sensitivity and micronutrient testing can be essential tools in helping you achieve optimal health. These tests can identify which specific foods may be causing unwanted side effects and determine which micronutrients you may be lacking. TruWellnessMD believes in personalized care tailored to each individual. We strive to deliver the best micronutrient and food sensitivity testing Jupiter has to offer. Through micronutrient testing in our in-house laboratory, we identify dietary deficiencies and provide you with a roadmap to better health.
Food sensitivities and food allergies are two different types of reactions to food, although they share some commonalities. Food sensitivities are generally less serious than food allergies and do not include the potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis reaction that can occur with food allergies. Food sensitivity is an adverse reaction to certain foods, but the body does not produce an allergic antibody in response.
Food allergies are much more serious as the body’s immune system produces an allergic antibody in response to the food. Your body essentially mistakes the food for potentially harmful pathogens that must be eliminated, leading to dangerous symptoms and complications. Symptoms can range from mild, such as itchy skin, to life-threatening, such as anaphylaxis. As such, you must avoid foods you’re allergic to.
Possible Reactions
Symptoms and Testing Options
Food sensitivities can manifest in many ways, including digestive issues, headaches, mood swings, fatigue, and general discomfort. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, depending on the individual, and can be difficult to detect without an elimination diet or our Jupiter food sensitivity testing. If you notice the aforementioned symptoms, please contact us for food sensitivity tests.
Common Reactions
Common Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of food allergies can range from mild to life-threatening. Common symptoms include itchiness and hives in the mouth and throat, swelling of the lips and face, abdominal cramps and vomiting, difficulty breathing, and in extreme cases, anaphylaxis. If you experience these symptoms after eating a particular food, seek medical help immediately.
Common Foods
Identify and Empower
Food sensitivity and allergy testing is an invaluable tool that allows us to identify specific food components that may be causing systemic inflammation or triggering an immune-mediated reaction. We empower you to make informed decisions about your diets, lifestyle habits, and treatment plans. By utilizing this advanced test, we can identify potential sensitivities and biochemical imbalances often overlooked by conventional healthcare. This can be a life-saving step in the journey to optimal health and wellness.
Importance of Micronutrient Testing
Micronutrient deficiencies can majorly impact overall health, especially for those with limited access to a balanced diet. Deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron, vitamin A, zinc, and iodine, can lead to various health issues, such as weakened immune systems, stunted growth, and anemia. Chronic micronutrient deficiency can also have serious long-term effects, such as weakened immune systems, stunted growth, goiters, and other medical concerns. Micronutrient testing can help us optimize your health.
Unlocking Health Insights
Micronutrient testing is a revolutionary way of understanding your body’s nutritional status. Our test measures 31 vitamins, minerals, amino/fatty acids, antioxidants, and metabolites, giving you a comprehensive overview of your micronutrient levels. This can give valuable insights into your overall health and provide the guidance you need to make positive dietary and lifestyle changes. Integrative medicine utilizes micronutrient testing to identify and address any nutritional imbalances and deficiencies contributing to your health concerns.
