Even the most balanced diet can work against you if your body is sensitive to certain foods. Food sensitivities are often silent saboteurs—triggering inflammation, disrupting hormones and draining energy without obvious symptoms. Over time, these hidden reactions can contribute to fatigue, weight fluctuations, digestive issues, joint pain, mood changes and even premature aging.
At Age Management Center, we believe that lasting wellness and longevity start with understanding your unique biology—down to how your immune system reacts to the foods you eat every day. Our food sensitivity testing provides advanced, personalized insights to uncover delayed immune responses that can quietly impact your health and longevity.
By identifying and addressing these hidden food triggers, you can reduce systemic inflammation, improve metabolic efficiency, restore digestive balance and support optimal hormone and immune function—all essential components for living longer, stronger and with greater vitality.
The Science Behind Food Sensitivity
Nutrition plays a critical role in energy, inflammation, weight management, hormone balance and long-term health. Yet, not all foods support every individual equally. Even seemingly “healthy” foods can sometimes cause inflammation, fatigue, digestive distress, or immune reactions that go unnoticed for years.
Understanding how your body reacts to the foods you eat is a crucial step on your journey to optimal wellness and longevity. Many people experience delayed reactions to certain foods that can contribute to chronic health conditions. We are able to help measure the level of certain antibodies in your blood serum that react to specific food antigens.
Why It Matters for Wellness and Longevity
Chronic, low-grade inflammation is a leading driver of aging, metabolic disorders and hormonal imbalance. When your immune system is continually reacting to certain foods, it can place unnecessary stress on your body, disrupting gut health, sleep, mood and even cardiovascular and cognitive performance.
By identifying these sensitivities, you can:
- Reduce inflammation and bloating
- Support hormonal balance and gut integrity
- Improve energy and mental clarity
- Enhance nutrient absorption and weight management
- Personalize your nutrition for optimized long-term health
Additional Specialty Testing
You may also choose to add specialized tests to your panel for a more targeted approach:
- Gluten Sensitivity (Anti-Gliadin): Determines if you need to avoid gluten-containing foods, as over 63% of people tested are reactive to gluten.
- Gut Health (Candida Albicans): Determines if you have an overgrowth of this fungus in your gut, which can cause symptoms like brain fog and sugar cravings.
- Milk & Egg Subfractions: Provides a more in-depth analysis of your reactivity to the various parts of milk (whey and casein) and determines reactivity to egg yolk or egg white.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How is the sample collected?
Depending on the panel ordered, the sample can be collected via a fingerprick and/or blood draw.
How quickly will I receive my results?
You can expect to receive your lab results in a matter of days.
Does this test for food allergies?
No, our test measures IgG sensitivities (delayed reactions), not immediate IgE allergies. Immediate IgE reactions are often life-threatening and require separate testing.
