Find Hidden Food Allergies for Weight Loss and Improved Health

Josie Tenore, M.D., owner of FreshSkin, in Highland Park, has been helping patients reach a healthier weight for years, and is introducing a new service to detect hidden food allergies. Because allergy sensitivities and sleep deprivation may be at the core of successful weight loss, she is offering ALCAT sensitivity testing to determine if foods may be contributing to one’s health and weight issues. This panel of tests detects food and environmental sensitivities that are unique to each individual. Treatment based on these sensitivities may be the key to feeling better and achieving weight loss success.

When someone is allergic to food, there is an immediate reaction, while food intolerance is a “hidden” food allergy, because there is no sudden reaction to the offending food. Instead, the body’s reaction occurs in small steps, often resulting in a range of symptoms and diseases that include obesity, arthritis, diabetes, gastrointestinal problems, sinus conditions, migraines and even weight gain.

The FDA-registered ALCAT test is based on individual unique genetic and biochemical makeup and results are presented in an easy-to-understand format in four categories. Solutions include avoidance of the sensitizing foods for defined period and a customized four-day rotation plan. Some insurance plans cover consultation and testing.
