Testing philosophy

Why specialty testing is different

Normal is not the same as optimal, and a test is not the same as interpretation.

Standard labs often answer
Specialty testing can help ask
Is anything clearly out of range?
Are there early patterns worth investigating?
Do you meet a diagnostic threshold?
What could explain symptoms before a diagnosis exists?
Is one marker abnormal?
How do multiple systems connect?
Next-step context

FAQ

Questions patients ask before ordering

What does the Food Allergy 80+ test measure?

It screens 88 common foods across allergy-oriented immune pathways, including IgE and IgG responses and overall immune load, with reaction-severity tiers.

When is allergy-oriented testing more appropriate than sensitivity testing?

When the concern is a true allergy - immediate or recurring concerning reactions - rather than delayed, meal-related symptoms. Your practitioner helps choose the right path.

Is this a substitute for emergency care?

No. If you are experiencing symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, seek emergency medical care immediately and work with an appropriate medical specialist.

How is the sample collected?

With a quick blood draw at a partner lab; we arrange the requisition for you.

What should I do with the results?

Review them with your practitioner and, when a true allergy is suspected, an appropriate allergy specialist before making changes, especially for children.

Is this a diagnostic test?

No. It is an educational and clinical decision-support tool. It highlights patterns to explore with a practitioner and does not, on its own, diagnose or treat any condition.

How long do results take?

Most results return about 2-3 weeks after the lab receives your sample. Timing can vary, and we confirm current turnaround before fulfillment.

Do I need to stop supplements or medications?

Sometimes. Certain supplements or medications can affect specific markers, so we send prep instructions and confirm what to pause. Never stop a prescription without your prescriber's guidance.

Can I order this without becoming a patient?

Yes, you can order without officially becoming a patient, but the 4-Month Reset is where the magic happens. We encourage you to at least schedule a new patient session to get the most out of your results.

What happens after results come back?

We upload them into your patient portal and send you a text to let you know it has been uploaded. You can text our care team to schedule your new patient session if that is something you're wanting to do.
