How Food Intolerance Testing Can Transform Your Energy & Performance

Have you ever felt sluggish, bloated, or just off despite eating what you thought was a healthy diet? Food intolerance testing could be the missing piece in your wellness puzzle. Unlike food allergies, which cause immediate reactions, food intolerances create low-grade inflammation that can lead to digestive issues, joint pain, headaches, brain fog, and even stalled fitness progress.
At Energy Fitness, we offer food intolerance testing that tests 1500 items. This can help you to understand which foods or chemicals that may be working against your body instead of for it. The test results come in an easy-to-read report, breaking down which foods you should avoid, minimize, or enjoy freely based on your body’s unique response. Results are typically ready in two weeks or less.
You may be skeptical about hair testing, and that’s completely understandable. But let’s keep an open mind—after all, the food industry isn’t looking out for your health, they’re looking for profit. Many processed foods are designed to be addictive, packed with hidden preservatives and chemicals that keep you coming back for more. I personally use and coach clients to also consider combining the knowledge from this along with blood type diet principles as well as Ayurvedic medicine as we are complex individuals. That’s why whole, plant-based foods are a smarter choice for long-term health. Taking control of what fuels your body starts with knowledge—whether through hair testing or simply being mindful of what you eat!
Here’s an example. One client that recently had the hair testing said that she should avoid Olive Oil.
Yes, olive oil can be beneficial for some people and problematic for others, depending on individual genetics, metabolism, and food intolerance testing (such as hair analysis).
Why Olive Oil is Great for Some People:
✅ Anti-Inflammatory & Heart-Healthy – High in monounsaturated fats and polyphenols, which support cardiovascular health.
✅ Supports Brain Function – Rich in antioxidants that protect against cognitive decline.
✅ Aids Digestion – Can promote gut health and ease inflammation for some individuals.
Why Olive Oil Might Not Work for Others:
🚫 Food Sensitivity or Intolerance – Hair testing can reveal that olive oil triggers inflammation or digestive issues in some people.
🚫 Histamine Issues – Some individuals with histamine intolerance may react negatively.
🚫 Poor Fat Metabolism – Those with difficulty processing fats may struggle with olive oil, leading to sluggish digestion or weight gain.
If hair testing suggests avoiding olive oil, it may be beneficial to switch to avocado oil, macadamia nut oil, or coconut oil for healthy fat alternatives. Listening to your body and testing for optimal health is key! 🔬💪🥑
One client had the test done and she had avoid chicken, asparagus, garlic and onions. Lot’s of food that is often included in a weight loss or healthy diet was actually keeping weight on her. She eliminated lots of the avoid category and finally started feeling better and reaching her goal weight.
