What Is ALCAT Testing?
ALCAT testing is a specialized blood test that evaluates how your white blood cells respond to a wide range of foods, additives, and environmental substances. Rather than focusing on allergies, ALCAT testing looks at cellular responses, which may help identify foods your body does not tolerate well.
This response-based testing provides insight into potential food sensitivities that can contribute to inflammation patterns and discomfort when repeatedly consumed.
Why ALCAT Testing?
At Fixen Chiropractic, nutrition assessments are built around ALCAT testing because it allows us to move beyond guesswork and generic nutrition advice. By understanding how your body specifically reacts to certain foods, we can provide clearer, more personalized guidance.
ALCAT-centered nutrition assessments may be helpful for individuals seeking support with:
-
Digestive discomfort or bloating
-
Fatigue or low energy
-
Headaches or migraines
-
Inflammation-related concerns
-
Difficulty identifying food triggers
-
General wellness optimization
This approach helps replace trial-and-error dieting with informed, body-specific insight.
What a Nutrition Assessment Includes
Our nutrition assessments focus on interpreting and applying ALCAT test results in a way that is practical and sustainable.
Your assessment may include:
-
Review of ALCAT testing results
-
Discussion of your health history, symptoms, and goals
-
Identification of potential food sensitivities and patterns
-
Personalized nutrition guidance based on your results
-
Education on how to rotate, eliminate, or reintroduce foods when appropriate
The goal is clarity and confidence — not restriction or overwhelm.
Items that can be tested include:

What to Expect During the Process
Your visit begins with a comprehensive conversation to understand your concerns and goals. If ALCAT testing is recommended, your provider will explain the test, the blood draw process, and what information the results may provide.
Once results are available, your provider will walk through them with you in detail, helping translate the findings into clear, actionable nutrition guidance. Follow-up support may be recommended to help adjust your plan as your body responds.
