Hair Sample Sensitivity Testing: Uncover Hidden Triggers Affecting Your Health

Bloating, fatigue, brain fog, skin rashes, or joint pain? Your food might be to blame—even if you’re eating “healthy” foods every day.

At Ultimate Functional Medicine, we know that food sensitivities are often the missing link in chronic health issues. That’s why we offer comprehensive Food Sensitivity Testing.

This is not guesswork. It’s a personalized roadmap to help you feel better—by identifying the foods that may be silently causing inflammation in your body.

🌿 What Is Hair Sample Sensitivity Testing?

Hair Sample Sensitivity Testing utilizes bioresonance technology to assess how your body responds to various substances. By analyzing a small hair sample, we can detect sensitivities to a wide range of items, including:

Foods: Dairy, gluten, nuts, fruits, vegetables, and more

Environmental factors: Pollens, dust mites, molds, and chemicals

Heavy metals: Mercury, lead, aluminum, etc.

Nutritional deficiencies: Vitamins and minerals

Digestive health markers: Gut biome and enzyme imbalances

This test evaluates over 975 items, providing a detailed report that guides personalized dietary and lifestyle adjustments.

🌿 What Are Food Sensitivities?

Unlike food allergies, which trigger immediate, potentially life-threatening reactions (like hives or anaphylaxis),

food sensitivities create a delayed, low-grade inflammatory response. This means you could eat a food today and feel symptoms tomorrow—or even days later—making it difficult to connect the dots.

Symptoms of food sensitivities may include:

Fatigue, brain fog, and headaches

Digestive problems

Joint pain and muscle aches

Skin issues like eczema, acne, or rashes

Sinus congestion, postnasal drip, or chronic cough

Anxiety, mood swings, and irritability

Weight gain and stubborn belly fat

Hormonal imbalances and PMS

Autoimmune flare-ups

Food sensitivities are hidden inflammation triggers—and testing helps uncover them. By identifying and removing these hidden triggers, we can reduce inflammation, restore gut health, and support healing from the inside out.

What is the Testing Process Like?

Getting started is easy:

1️⃣ Order Your Test: Purchase the Hair Sample Sensitivity Test through our clinic.

2️⃣ Collect Your Sample: Take 3–4 strands of hair (head or body) and place them in a small, self-sealing bag.

4️⃣ Review Your Results with Us: We’ll create a customized plan based on your unique biochemistry.

5️⃣ Start Your Healing Journey: Implement a tailored protocol of diet, supplements, and lifestyle strategies.

How Much Does the GI-MAP Cost?
