Steps to a Healthier Lifestyle with Vega Allergy Testing

November 2, 2024 By Editorial

Hidden Food Sensitivities

A health consultation with me may involve testing with the Vega Allergy Testing System. This is a non-invasive (and painless) system for testing food, chemical, and other intolerances and sensitivities, and for isolating foods that contribute to inflammation and digestive concerns. It helps identify foods and substances to which you may be sensitive, although not allergic.  (This may also help with determining eating for wellness, as in the FODMAP approach to diet sensitivities.)

When able to follow a diet without sensitivities, most people notice an improvement in how they feel and function. Vega testing may reveal food sensitivities that you never knew you had, but could be responsible for stubborn ailments or health issues that you experience – like candida – or simply general feelings of lethargy, bloating, fatigue, etc.

Good health and energy levels can often be achieved by simply being more selective in your food choices. The results of overconsumption of sugar, alcohol, and caffeine are well known to all of us. However, you may be surprised to learn that certain grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts you assume to be healthy can actually cause problems with your particular physical make-up.

The Vega tests an extensive array of food, including grains, dairy products, eggs, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, meats, poultry, seafood, food additives, and miscellaneous foodstuffs such as caffeine, honey, sugar, yeast, alcohol, vinegar, etc.

To learn more about foods that might be triggering your ailments, and foods you need for optimal health, book an appointment for Vega testing by myself or another qualified health practitioner. Please let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll send a Wellness Questionnaire.

Embrace this year—as a time for renewal – a time to cleanse and regenerate. Happy health!

HOMEOPATHY AND WHY IT WORKS

Homeopathy is an incredible system that has the ability to heal and help all who call upon it.
