Allergy testing and microbiome analysis in Geelong
Alice Nature’s experienced team uses sophisticated functional tests including allergy testing and microbiome analysis services in Geelong to help clients map a path to better health.
By drawing on a non-invasive range of different tests, naturopaths get a clear picture of what’s happening in your body, organs and systems. The tests deliver science-based evidence that helps us to uncover the cause of health problems and devise quality treatment options. They are valuable tools when it comes to preventing disease and uncovering allergy triggers, allowing clients to be proactive in their approach to good health.
The three most common functional tests we order are listed below, along with sample reports for your reference:
Gut microbiome (GI Map) testing
This test provides valuable information about your gut health and the microorganisms present in your digestive system. It’s a comprehensive tool to help assess the balance of bacteria in your gut and guide targeted treatments. We offer this testing to residents in Geelong and the surrounding areas.
- See the sample report here and the interpretive guide here.
- For more details on what we can learn from the GI Map, check out our blog post here.
Compatibility hair test
Our compatibility hair test helps Geelong residents determine what triggers symptoms such as allergies, IBS flare-ups, or skin conditions like hives, acne, and rosacea, as well as inflammatory joint pain.
Compatibility testing identifies how different foods and products affect your body. This personalised approach helps pinpoint which foods and products to avoid, and which you can safely use. The elimination period lasts six months, but foods are not removed for extended periods, with the goal of improving your tolerance to many foods.
- Learn more about the compatibility test explained here. Please note, this is not an allergy test, but a more sensitive one. Allergy tests can also be conducted, but the compatibility test provides more detailed insights.
