Nutrition Assessment

Nutritional counseling and nutritional support is available for patients. As many symptoms and conditions are partially or completely due to nutritional needs, offering nutritional support is a natural extension of the care available through our clinic.

ALCAT Sensitivity Testing

Why Choose ALCAT Testing?

The ALCAT© Test differs from other food allergy or intolerance tests as it accurately and objectively measures leukocyte reactivity in whole blood, which is a final common pathway of all mechanisms. The test utilizes electronic, state of the art, hematological instrumentation.

Other standard allergy tests, such as skin testing or RAST, measure only a single mechanism, such as the effect of mast cell release of histamine or the presence of allergen specific IgE molecules. Delayed reactions to foods and chemicals are not IgE mediated.

The ALCAT© Test reproducibly measures the final common pathway of all pathogenic mechanism; whether immune, non-immune, or toxic!

What to Expect

What works for someone else may not work for you. You can eat an extremely healthy diet and still have inflammation in your body.

The ALCAT© Test is a simple blood draw, no uncomfortable repeat poking, just a prick, draw, and you are done!

When your results come in, in about 1-2 weeks following the draw, then you meet with the doctor and go over results. This is a process, and we make a realistic plan together that works for you. The follow-up visits are unlimited, making sure that along the way you are getting results, and it is something that can be maintained.

After different amounts of time, depending on the reaction to the food, we can start to reintroduce foods back into your diet. This may mean that you can have food again that you were reacting to and at times it may just be limited. This is not meant to be forever, instead we help you find a new normal which helps you daily to feel better.
