Food intolerance testing can help you identify the foods that trigger chronic inflammation and related health concerns throughout your body. Schedule your appointment today.
We all respond differently to what we eat. From herbs to additives and chicken to broccoli, the way our body processes foods impacts how we feel and function. Sometimes the reaction isn’t what we expect, though. Even clean, healthy, whole foods can trigger unexpected and chronic inflammation.
Our food intolerance testing helps you identify which foods may be causing your symptoms, including:
When your body has trouble breaking down certain foods, it may ferment, creating gas and bloating.
Some foods contain common headache-causing triggers, like histamine or nitrates.
While a food intolerance doesn’t directly impact your weight, it can cause chronic bloating and inflammation that can disrupt your metabolism.
We may also recommend testosterone, an often overlooked and underprescribed hormone replacement therapy for women. It supports metabolism, lean muscle tissue, energy levels, and libido.
Food intolerances can increase inflammation, triggering or wrosening your acne.
As your body struggles to digest certain foods, you may not be able to sleep or have difficulty absorbing the nutrients you need.
Inflammation can alter how your body produces serotonin, decreasing your mental clarity and focus.
When your body reacts to certain foods, it may release cytokines and histamines that negatively impact your joint tissues.
Wellness is more than looking good. It’s about how your body functions every day, and when it’s not functioning optimally, you may feel sluggish or run down.
Unlike other companies, Complete Wellness doesn’t chase trends. We’ve been on the leading edge of the wellness industry for decades and test every product and service we offer on ourselves before offering them to you. It helps us understand how they work, interact, and will make you feel, ensuring we create a wellness plan that’s as unique as you.
Achieving measurable, lasting results takes time, so we start with an in-depth consultation to learn more about your goals and ensure you understand what to expect. Our collaborative, educational approach goes beyond the surface-level information you can find anywhere. You’ll leave with deep insight and understanding into which products are right for you and how you’ll cycle through them, while setting clear expectations to ensure you don’t waste time or money.
No matter the treatment plan or your goals, our team is with you every step of the way to help you achieve optimal results.
A food intolerance isn’t the same as a food allergy, and understanding the difference is critical to your health.
Food allergies involve your immune system. In some people, certain foods — like peanuts or shellfish — trigger an immune response, treating food as a threat to your body. The reaction is immediate and can be severe or even life-threatening. You may experience trouble breathing, a rash, or vomiting.
A food intolerance doesn’t involve your immune system. It’s more localized to your digestive tract and generally happens because you have trouble digesting certain foods, like dairy products. While symptoms vary, bloating and cramping are common. More importantly, though, the symptoms start hours after you eat the trigger food and cause far milder symptoms than a food allergy.
Food intolerance testing can help you identify which foods are likely contributing to your symptoms. By eliminating these foods and gradually reintroducing them to your diet, you can pinpoint which foods you’re intolerant to. Testing can also help you:
Complete Wellness and Aesthetics has two locations, making it easy to get the care you’re looking for. We also offer convenient, flexible telehealth appointments where available.
If you’re suffering from gastrointestinal issues, brain fog, or low energy, food intolerance testing can help you understand which foods you may be intolerant to and help you identify the dietary changes that will reduce or even eliminate the symptoms.
At Complete Wellness and Aesthetics, your goals are our goals, and our combination of food intolerance testing, personalized coaching, and support ensures we create a treatment plan that’s customized to your unique situation.

Food intolerance testing looks for potential reactions to different foods and ingredients that may be causing or contributing to your symptoms. The results can help you identify which foods to include in an elimination diet to help you better understand how certain foods affect your body.
Don’t make significant changes to your diet unless we instruct you to. Let us know which foods you’ve been avoiding and any reactions you’ve experienced in the past so we can provide you with personalized guidance before your test.
We’ll review the results together and discuss which foods may be contributing to your symptoms. Depending on your goals, we may recommend an elimination diet to see how you feel, then possibly reintroduce certain foods to see which ones trigger your intolerance and which ones you can continue eating.
Not necessarily. Temporarily eliminating and then reintroducing these foods can help determine how much of a specific food you can tolerate and whether long-term changes are necessary.
Absolutely. Some intolerances may be long-term, and some may change, depending on the underlying cause. Age, illnesses, medications, and other changes in your digestive health can affect how your body processes certain foods.
Unfortunately, yes. A food intolerance can develop at any point in your life, including to the foods you’ve eaten for years without any issues. The causes can vary. Digestive enzymes can decrease with age, making it harder to tolerate certain foods, while illnesses or medications can also impact how much or how little you tolerate some foods.
It could. While digestive problems are the most common signs of a food intolerance, many people report symptoms like headaches, fatigue, or brain fog. Because symptoms can have multiple causes, we consider your food intolerance test results as part of your overall health profile, instead of relying strictly on test results.
Food intolerance testing isn’t part of medical weight loss or weight management, and identifying a food intolerance won’t directly cause weight loss. However, understanding how certain foods affect you can provide valuable information when developing a personalized nutrition plan. If weight loss or weight management is one of your goals, we can incorporate food intolerance test findings into your treatment plan.
