state-of-the-art testing, expertly matched to you
food sensitivity, microbiome, adrenal & micronutrient testing
At Healthy Nest, we use the most innovative, reliable and detailed testing methods to get to the bottom of your issues. We believe testing is not a one-size-fits-all solution and we will recommend specific tests based on your individual issues — and only AS NEEDED! We use tests from these well-respected labs:
food sensitivity & allergy testing
We employ state-of-the-art food intolerance, sensitivity and allergy testing methods as well as the gold-standard elimination diet to detect food intolerances and allergens. Once we have conclusive information, we work with you to eliminate the irritant, dampen the inflammation and repair the digestive tract.
We use a combination of therapies to accomplish those goals. They include foods, vitamins, minerals and some soothing Western herbal support.
It is our hope that after elimination and healing the gut, your body will be able to handle some of the offending foods on a rotating basis.
microbiome testing
Gastrointestinal issues are among the most common reasons that clients seek microbiome testing through Healthy Nest Nutrition. Symptoms associated with gut issues include persistent diarrhea, constipation, bloating, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome and malabsorption. We work with trusted lab partners to assess your microbiome — your “good” and “bad” gut bacteria — and determine how we can get it into a healthy balance via diet changes and targeted supplementation.
adrenal testing
Often, clients have unexplained weight gain, and/or ongoing fatigue and/or sleep interruption. In these cases, we administer a saliva cortisol test that illuminates any underlying hormonal depletion. If this is indeed the problem, our solution will include giving the body basic food-based, nutrient building blocks so your body can make more hormones and you can recover good energy.
micronutrient testing
If you suffer from constant fatigue or chronic health issues, we may recommend a micronutrient test. This detailed test measures the function of dozens of nutritional components such as vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and amino acids within your white blood cells. We can see if you are deficient in any area and put together a diet and supplement plan to address the issue.
