Disclosure: I received a complimentary food sensitivity test from EverlyWell in conjunction with the my partnership with FitApproach for review purposes.  As always, all opinions are my own. Full PR & Disclosure here. 

I am so excited to share this new at-home kit with you all because it covers a topic near and dear to my heart…FOOD!

As many of you know, 3+ years ago I battled with eczema. I tried countless OTC topical creams and prescription meds but nothing seemed to help. Sometimes my skin would heal for a few days, but the unsightly condition would always make its way back to the surface, often worse than it was before. It was VERY frustrating to say the least. There had to be a way to actually FIX the problem instead of just putting ‘bandaids’ on them.

I spent the next 3 months researching everything I could on eczema and what I learned was that it was very possible that the food I was eating was a major contributor to my skin condition.

Never in a million years did I think that FOOD would cause my skin problems!

Especially good food. I mean, it’s not like I binged on fast food and chocolate. I actually had a very healthy diet full of fruits, grains, vegetables, proteins and fats!

In the end, there’s only so much itching and scratching and covering up one can take so I found a company online with a local lab and invested in my health. And by invested, I mean INVESTED.

I spent almost $1200 on a comprehensive food intolerance test. It took a few weeks to get my results back, but I finally did and put the steps in motion to work on healing my body. To see the video series I did on this click here.

Why am I telling you all this?

Because it worked!

I healed my skin from the inside out using the information I gained from the test.

TODAY, YOU CAN DO THIS FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME FOR A FRACTION OF THE PRICE!

I’m so excited to introduce you all to a company called EverlyWell. Here’s what they’re all about:

• At-home convenient health tests
• Easy to understand lab results that you can share & always access
• Affordable

They have 7 at-home tests:

1. Cholesterol & Lipids - $79
2. Food Sensitivity - $199
3. Sleep & Stress - $199
4. Thyroid & Metabolism - $99
5. Inflammation & Vitamin D - $99
6. Heavy Metals - $199
7. Women’s Health & Fertility - $399

It’s always a good idea to get checked yearly for food sensitivities since they can change so that’s what I did! It was so easy. I just placed my order and in a few days I received my kit which included the following:

• instructions
• alcohol prep pad
• safety lancet
• protein saver card
• Bandaids
• biohazard bag
• requisition form
• envelope
• lollipop

So here’s how I took the test: I cleaned my fingertip, prick my finger with the safety lancet and allowed some blood to drip into the circles on the protein saver card. Then I put on the Band-aid and waited for the card to dry. Once dry, I put everything in the envelope and dropped it in the mailbox.

And Viola! It’s been 1 week and I just got my results via email!

Here’s an iPad screenshot of what the results look like. You’ll see a reactivity scale at the top which goes from low to very high and a list of all the markers below. The food sensitivity test measures gluten, wheat, milk, soy, peanuts, avocado and 93 other common foods in the American diet.

If you want more information on a marker, you click on the name and a more detailed report comes up explaining your results, what they mean and what you can do about it. Squash showed up as Class 1, Milk Reactivity for me and here’s what it says:

It’s really that simple. 

As a nutritionist and a former sufferer of eczema I highly recommend looking into EverlyWell. The tests are affordable, simple, and easy to understand. I am very happy with my test results and will definitely be using them again in the future and recommending them to family & friends.
