Food Sensitivity Testing & Treatment in Metro Detroit
Hidden food reactions cause inflammation and chronic symptoms. We identify your specific sensitivities through testing and create elimination plans that reduce inflammation and dramatically improve health.
Understanding Food sensitivities
Food sensitivities differ from allergies—they cause delayed reactions that can be difficult to identify. At Total Health Systems, our functional medicine approach uses advanced testing to identify foods triggering inflammation, digestive issues, and other symptoms, then creates personalized elimination and reintroduction protocols.
