Food Sensitivity Testing
What are the benefits to testing for Delayed Food Sensitivities?
Food sensitivities can cause a variety of chronic symptoms which you would never think could be linked to foods, such as weight gain, joint pains, fatigue, headaches, skin rashes, indigestion, achy muscles, and fluid retention. Food sensitivities are delayed reactions which can occur anywhere from a few hours to a few days after exposure to the reactive food.
What causes food sensitivities?
Medical evidence suggests that food sensitivities result when foods and their protein components are no completely digested. When these components are absorbed by your body, your immune system does not recognize them as nutritional and beneficial. It responds protectively by producing antibodies, starting a series of reactions which can affect many tissues and organs. The result can be any of the symptoms already mentioned, headaches, skin rashes, fatigue, fluid retention and more.
How do I know I have food sensitivities?
Of the hundreds of thousands of people tested so far, almost all had food sensitivities, so there is a good chance that you also are sensitive to one or more foods. If you experience any of the symptoms previously described, you may wish to consider looking into the Food Sensitivity Testing.
How am I tested for food sensitivities?
You can determine which foods you are sensitive to with an Immuno 1 BloodprintTM from Immuno Laboratories. Your Immuno 1 BloodprintTM is as individual as your fingerprint. From it Immuno Laboratories’ computerized system can determine your food sensitivities and provide an individualized, color-coded computer printout that identifies and assists you in eliminating these foods. All that’s needed is a small sample of blood, and within a week, your Immuno 1 BloodprintTM findings and other printouts will be sent to us to review together.
How are food sensitivities treated?
Food sensitivities are usually just temporary. They typically disappear when you eliminate the reactive food for 60 to 90 days. Most people can then reintroduce the foods back into their diet without recurrence of symptoms. Your individual Immuno 1 BloodprintTM report provides all these preventative measures in an easy to follow format.
Nutritional Counseling
Why does Windhawk focus on living foods? Do I have to be 100% raw?
In today’s lifestyle, it’s easy to depend on the convenience of packaged processed and cooked foods. Think about it. Even a health conscious individual can make their entire daily selection of food without fresh foods – eating processed bars, whole grain cereals, cooked vegetables, cooked grains and lean meats. Windhawk promotes the addition of living foods into your diet. Living foods are packed with food enzymes, vitamins, minerals, water, oxygen and other phytonutrients to support basic cellular metabolism of maintenance and repair. There is no substitution for the benefits of fresh foods. You do not have to be 100% raw to enjoy the health benefits of living foods. We do recommend for you to strive eating at least 80% of your foods fresh and living. Our Nutritional Counseling sessions will help to identify areas of your lifestyle that you can easily make a transition to creating a better habit.
As an athlete, am I able to get enough calories and nutrients eating raw foods?
Absolutely yes! In fact, living foods provides the nutrients that you need in a form that is highly absorbable and readily available to use.
Far Infrared Sauna (FIR Sauna)
What do I wear in the Far Infrared Sauna?
Since your comfort and modesty is most important, what you wear is completely up to you. However, since the sauna is in a private room and will be reserved for only you when you make an appointment, most people choose to go in the nude. There are clean white towels draped throughout so there is no need to bring anything.
What's the difference between a Far Infrared Sauna and a conventional sauna?
Far-Infrared saunas heat objects not the air around you, which typically makes it significantly more comfortable than a conventional sauna which heats the air. Far-infrared is a part of the solar spectrum, which penetrates the body up to 1 1/2 inches, is responsible for photosynthesis and can generate 2 – 3 times the sweat volume using much lower temperatures over that of a conventional sauna. It’s very healing and has a tremendous amount of benefits. Some of the benefits include: stimulates immune function, relieves muscle spasms, increases elasticity in collagen tissues, stimulates endorphins or happy hormones of the brain, and kill organisms like bacteria and parasites. More important, they penetrate tissues, detoxify cells, and improve lymphatic flow.
Why does Windhawk promote using a Far Infrared sauna?
Toxins favorite storage site is fat and the safest way to eliminate them is through sweating. Far-infrared sauna technology is the only proven, most efficacious way of getting rid of stored environmental chemicals. Windhawk believes that “dis-ease” can come from one of three things; improper nutrition, improper mindset or improper use of the body. All of the services that we offer help to support you in improving those three areas. Detoxification of the cells and organ systems falls under the improper nutrition category. Even if we didn’t take in anymore toxins (which is next to impossible in today’s polluted world), we still need to work to clean up the stock piles that we have from years of either eating, breathing or drinking in toxins…not to mention applying toxins onto our bodies in our skincare products. Many diseases today can be linked with a toxic overload. It’s time to change the oil!
