WHAT IS A SENSITIVITY TEST? 

A sensitivity test is a diagnostic method used to identify how your body reacts to specific substances, such as nutrients, minerals, or environmental factors. It can help pinpoint potential triggers for symptoms like skin irritation, digestive issues, fatigue, or inflammation. Typically, sensitivity testing involves non-invasive procedures like a hair or blood sample to analyze your body’s response and detect imbalances or deficiencies in key nutrients.

 

Benefits of Sensitivity Testing:

  • Identify Nutrient Deficiencies: Helps uncover imbalances in vitamins and minerals essential for energy, immune support, and skin health.

  • Uncover Hidden Triggers: Pinpoints sensitivities to foods or environmental substances that could be causing issues like bloating, skin problems, or headaches.

  • Improve Digestive Health: Detects issues related to nutrient absorption, supporting healthier digestion and alleviating discomfort.

  • Boost Energy and Clarity: Addressing deficiencies and sensitivities can lead to improved energy levels, mental clarity, and overall vitality.

  • Personalised Wellness Plans: Provides insights for creating tailored nutrition, skincare, or lifestyle plans based on your body’s specific needs.

Overall, sensitivity testing offers a deeper understanding of your body’s responses and helps you make targeted changes for better health.

What can we test?

Our Sensitivity Test covers a comprehensive range of over 1,200 items, designed to offer insights into how your body reacts to different substances and factors that may be impacting your health. Here’s what we can test for:

  • Food Sensitivities: This includes reactions to common and less obvious food items such as grains, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and proteins. It helps pinpoint foods that may cause digestive issues, bloating, or other adverse symptoms.

  • Non-Food Sensitivities: We test for reactions to environmental factors, chemicals, and other non-food items that could be contributing to health issues, including pollutants and household chemicals.

  • Metal Sensitivities: This test can reveal if you have adverse reactions to certain metals like nickel, aluminum, or mercury, which can impact skin, digestion, and overall health.

  • Mineral Analysis: Discover imbalances or deficiencies in key minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc, which are essential for bone health, energy production, and immune function.

  • Vitamin A-K: This covers an analysis of your vitamin levels, ensuring you have adequate amounts of critical vitamins for maintaining healthy skin, vision, immune health, and overall well-being.

  • Additives: We check for sensitivities to common food additives, preservatives, and artificial flavorings that may trigger digestive discomfort or allergic reactions.

  • Gut Health & Digestion: Our test examines factors affecting your gut biome and digestion, helping to uncover issues like food intolerance or poor nutrient absorption.

  • Gut Biome: Analyses the balance of beneficial bacteria in your gut, essential for digestion, immunity, and overall wellness.

  • Hormone Testing: Tests for hormone imbalances that can lead to issues like weight gain, fatigue, or mood swings, providing valuable insights into your endocrine health.

  • Anti-Aging Factors: We assess markers related to aging processes in your body, helping you understand how your body is aging and how to slow it down through lifestyle and dietary adjustments.

  • Stress & Inflammation: Identifies markers of chronic stress and inflammation, which can affect every part of your body, contributing to chronic diseases and conditions.

  • Sleep: This test assesses factors that might be influencing your sleep quality, providing insights into how you can improve rest and recovery.

  • Skin Health: Reveals sensitivities that could be causing skin issues such as eczema, acne, or rashes, and helps you pinpoint the culprits behind persistent skin problems.

HOW IT WORKS

How It Works: Sensitivity Testing at Sweet Tee's Wellness & Beauty

 

At Sweet Tee's Wellness & Beauty, we take a comprehensive, non-invasive approach to sensitivity testing, offering you an in-depth understanding of how your body reacts to various substances. Our process begins with the collection of a simple hair sample, which provides valuable insights into your body’s nutrient absorption and exposure to environmental factors. Unlike blood or urine tests that give a short-term snapshot, a hair sample offers a more complete, long-term view of your body’s responses to different elements, such as minerals, toxins, and food sensitivities.

 

Once your sample is collected, it is sent off to our trusted partner lab, which is accredited by Global Health, a leading organisation known for its high standards in health diagnostics. This ensures that your results are processed with the utmost precision and care. The lab will conduct an in-depth analysis based on the test you've booked, which can cover over 1,200 items, including food sensitivities, metal reactions, vitamin levels, and more.

 

After the analysis, you'll receive a detailed report of your body's sensitivities and imbalances. This comprehensive report will help you understand how various elements may be affecting your overall health. With this knowledge, you can make informed decisions about your diet, lifestyle, and wellness routine, empowering you to take charge of your health and well-being.

 

By working with Global Health, we ensure that your test results are accurate, reliable, and informative, providing you with all the necessary insights to enhance your health.

What to expect

At Sweet Tee's Wellness & Beauty, we aim to provide a seamless and comprehensive experience with our Sensitivity Test, designed to help you better understand your body’s unique responses to a variety of substances. From the moment you book your test, we focus on offering personalised care that suits your health concerns.

 

The Appointment

Your initial appointment with us will take between 15 to 20 minutes, during which we will conduct an initial consultation to understand your reasons for booking the test, any specific symptoms or concerns you have, and to gain an overall view of your wellness needs. This consultation is key to ensuring that the test addresses your individual concerns.

 

The Sample Collection

Once we’ve completed your consultation, we will take a painless sample of 2-3 hair strands, which will then be prepared to be sent off to our trusted partner lab, accredited by Global Health. These hair samples are perfect for testing because they provide a long-term view of your body’s exposure to nutrients, minerals, and toxins, offering far more detailed insights than blood or urine tests.

 

The Analysis

Once your hair sample is at the lab, an in-depth analysis is performed on over 1,200 items, including food sensitivities, metal reactivity, vitamin and mineral levels, and much more. This analysis ensures that we identify any imbalances, sensitivities, or potential allergens that could be affecting your overall health and well-being.

 

The Results

Your results will typically be ready within 3 to 5 days. Once we have received your results, we will contact you to arrange a discussion over the phone. During this conversation, we will walk you through the detailed findings and explain any areas of concern. You will also receive your complete report by post, allowing you to keep a record of your results and refer to them as needed for future wellness planning.

 

At Sweet Tee's Wellness & Beauty, our goal is to offer you a smooth and informative testing experience, providing you with the knowledge and tools to enhance your overall health and vitality.

Whats the difference? 

Sensitivity Testing vs. Allergy Testing

 

Though both sensitivity testing and allergy testing aim to identify how your body reacts to certain substances, they differ significantly in the types of reactions they detect and how they impact your overall health.

 

Sensitivity Testing:

  • What it Detects: Sensitivity testing focuses on detecting intolerances or sensitivities, which cause reactions that do not involve the immune system. These responses are often delayed and may affect areas such as digestion, energy levels, or skin.

  • Type of Reaction: Sensitivity reactions are non-immunologic, meaning the immune system is not involved. They occur when the body struggles to properly digest or process certain substances, such as lactose or gluten.

  • Common Symptoms: Sensitivity symptoms tend to be delayed, emerging hours or even days after exposure. Symptoms can include bloating, digestive issues, fatigue, and skin irritations.

  • Examples: Common sensitivities include reactions to dairy, gluten, additives, or environmental triggers like chemicals.

Allergy Testing:

  • What it Detects: Allergy testing identifies immune system reactions to allergens. Allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly perceives harmless substances as threats and reacts by producing antibodies.

  • Type of Reaction: Allergic reactions involve an immune-mediated response, typically involving the release of histamine. These reactions tend to occur quickly after exposure.

  • Common Symptoms: Allergic reactions happen almost immediately and can vary from mild symptoms like sneezing and rashes to severe responses such as difficulty breathing or anaphylaxis.

  • Examples: Typical allergens include pollen, pet dander, nuts, shellfish, and insect stings.

Key Differences:

  • Timing: Sensitivity reactions are delayed, while allergic reactions are usually immediate.

  • Immune System: Allergies involve the immune system; sensitivities do not.

  • Severity: Allergies can lead to life-threatening reactions, whereas sensitivities tend to cause discomfort without being dangerous.

In short, sensitivity testing helps uncover intolerances that may affect everyday well-being, while allergy testing is critical for identifying serious immune responses that may require urgent medical attention. Understanding the distinction can help tailor treatment and lifestyle choices to improve your health.
