Do You Need a Test?...

Or maybe you're dealing with an inflammatory skin, joint or autoimmune disorder, and want to harness the power of nutrition as part of managing and healing it. You might simply want to boost your energy, mood and overall health by finding out which foods and habits work best for you.

A Reliable, Informed Approach to Food Intolerance Testing
Our most popular, user-friendly and recommended approach to testing for food intolerances is Kinesiology, which offers major advantages over other testing methods, including:
Pain-free and non-invasive testing
Kinesiology uses real-time feedback from your nervous system, via your muscles, to assess your body's tolerance levels to foods. This makes it the perfect way to assess food intolerances at all stages of life and health, including babies, children, the elderly, and needle-phobic clients.
Accuracy
Despite the appeal of laboratory testing, IgE and IgG blood tests are notoriously unreliable measures of food intolerances, yielding both false positives and false negatives. Kinesiology, however, reveals your body's real-time response to foods - and best of all, you'll clearly experience this yourself, as your normally strong muscle will (momentarily) give way when a problem food is tested.
Instant results
Your kinesiologist will provide results immediately, so you'll leave your first appointment knowing which foods to eat and which to avoid. They can also test for nutritional deficiencies and environmental irritants during this session, and offer plenty of support to help you integrate the recommended changes.
De-sensitisation and a positive way forward
From a kinesiology and nutritional perspective, food intolerances are not a life sentence. They're symptoms of an over-reactive, sensitised immune response, which can change over time given the right circumstances - generally, they're not fixed, lifelong issues if properly understood and addressed.
Our team of specialists know how to identify the underlying factors - gut issues, stress, and more - that can create food sensitivities, and how to treat them at their origin. By addressing root causes, kinesiology can help people de-sensitise to problem foods. Usually, people are able to return to eating most foods after a period of elimination, during which your practitioner will treat root causes using a range of strategies. Most clients find this enormously empowering.
