We are all unique individuals, not only in our looks and personalities, but also in our biological make-up. For this reason we all deal with our food and environments differently.

For example, some people cope with extremes of heat and cold better than others. So it is with food; one person can eat bread or pasta and feel fine but another might find they feel bloated, sick, and uncomfortable. Indeed these are only a few of the host of symptoms which indicate a sensitivity to one or more foods they regularly eat.

Allergy testing can detect the foods which cause these unpleasant symptoms, in order that they can be avoided.Nutritional therapy helps rebalance the body so that it can once again function at its optimum level; extracting all the goodness it needs from food in order to maintain a sense of vitality and health. Sometimes this can mean re-balancing the ‘friendly bacteria’ in our intestines which when functioning properly help us to digest and absorb nutrients from our food. Allergies can upset that balance and part of the testing procedure is to assess whether or not this has occurred.

I use muscle testing which is a simple and effective method of ascertaining which foods are causing a reaction in your body at any given time. It is a non-invasive method which detects allergies and sensitivities. The testing involves putting a test phial of food or environmental substance on to your body (usually a small area of your abdomen) and checking your muscle resistance. I can also test for nutritional imbalances
