Allergenics Hair Testing

Allergenics perform tests for sensitivities, intolerances, nutritional balance and personal health. By learning more about your own body through one of these tests you can make lifestyle changes to optimise your health. Your hair is not only a reflection of what’s going on in your body, but of your overall health too. Your hair is able to retain energy patterns which can be measured and used to assess your state of health, naturally. Hundreds of natural health practitioners use  Allergenics regularly and thousands of people have benefited from their tests.  

Food Intolerance Testing 

This test is recommended for anyone wanting to discover whether any food or environmental factors could be triggering distress or imbalances in their health and well-being. An intolerance can often be misconstrued as an allergy because it results in the body reacting negatively, though it is less severe. It occurs when the human body has difficulty properly digesting a food item, resulting in a number of physical symptoms. Sensitivity, on the other hand, is when a person becomes sensitive to a food item from excessive consumption. Both exhibit milder symptoms, but this should still be taken seriously in case the condition worsens over time, especially if they are not addressed with diet and lifestyle changes. An allergy differs completely from intolerances and sensitivities, developing hereditarily in some cases and can often cause life-long health issues. 

Comprehensive Nutrition Test  

Our nutrient status is governed by our diet, our lifestyle and many environmental factors that affect us. It is the combination of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that our body seeks to carefully balance to ensure we do not suffer from excesses and deficiencies.  This can have a huge impact on our health, along with the heavy metal burden we carry in our bodies. Note: this test does not give actual levels of vitamins and minerals

Sleep & Mood Testing 

This test can help you identify those major triggers and imbalances that may be affecting healthy sleep and mood balance. Key hormones, neurotransmitters and nutrients involved in sleep and mood are assessed, giving you an overview of how these work together and can be rebalanced.  

Women's Hormone Testing 

Puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause are all periods within a woman’s life that can alter the balance of hormones, affecting organ health and body function. Varying levels of estrogen, progesterone, insulin and even steroids can severely impact one’s health and lead to more complications.  An imbalanced body can lead to excessive weight gain, decreasing energy levels, a declining sex drive and the occurrence of mood swings.  Allergenics hormone testing in NZ is suitable for women of all ages and can be adapted for children where required.  Women’s Health Test can also provide you with valuable information which may help with fertility, for those who want to start the process of conceiving. 

Comprehensive Men's Hormone Testing 

This is the ultimate health and well-being screen for men.  It measures how well your body systems are functioning and provides information on your body’s organs and hormones as well as the specialised nutrients associated with their function.
