Service Description
What is Naturopathy? Naturopaths investigate, identify and address underlying causes of health issues whilst supporting any current symptoms. Naturopathy is based on the principle that given the optimal conditions, we can enhance our body's natural healing power. Naturopathic medicine focuses on preventative health and treatment is tailored to each individuals needs. A naturopath understands bio-individuality and biochemical uniqueness, and that there is no 'one size fits all' diet or solution to health. What is Food Sensitivity? Food sensitivity results when your body reacts negatively to particular foods. Research has shown that food sensitivity can be linked to IgG antibodies produced when these problematic foods are eaten. Normally these antibodies do not have any ill-effects, but if the immune or digestive system are not functioning optimally, their presence may provoke a wide array of symptoms. Testing IgG responses to specific foods may help to identify problematic foods, which can then be removed or rotated in the diet for a specific period of time. Gut health is then improved before re-introducing foods. The test works by measuring blood levels of IgG antibodies. Symptoms of Food Intolerances: • Bloating • Constipation • Diarrhoea • Flatulence • Headaches • Lethargy • Nausea What Do We Offer? Our advanced food panel tests around 200 foods and inflammatory marker hs-CRP. Testing is performed during the naturopathic session (in person) and requires a finger prick blood test. Results are delivered within 1-2 weeks and are more accurate than our basic food intolerance test results. Clients are emailed personalised naturopathic plans and holistic advice following the session. What Foods Do We Test? Over 200 foods, including: casein, egg white, egg yolk, buffalo milk, cows milk, goats milk, sheeps milk, barley, couscous, durum wheat, gliadin, malt, oat, rye, spelt, wheat, wheat bran, amaranth, buckwheat, millet, quinoa, rice, tapioca, apples, apricot, avocado, banana, blackberry, date, fig, grape, grapefruit, guava, kiwi, lemon, lime, lychee, mango, melon, mulberry, cabbage, caper, carrot, cauliflower, chickpea, clam, cokle, cod, crab, cuttlefish, eel, haddock, beef, herring etc! We also test for hs-CRP, a low grade inflammatory marker that helps to identify early stage diabetes, obesity, weight gain etc. For more information, please visit the 'Naturopathy' or 'Food Intolerance Testing' page.
