What is FST Testing?
- FST: A simple blood test and Report that measures the amount of inflammation caused to your body by 320 different items.
- Most of which are Basic Foods, but also includes Environmental Chemicals, Food Additives and Colorings, Herbs, Pharmaceuticals, etc.
How does testing work?
- Learn which foods aggravate YOUR body. (plus food additives, medications, molds/chemicals and herbs)
- Receive information on how to eliminate these foods from your diet.
- Learn how to reintroduce them later without symptoms.
- The first step to see if you will benefit from this type of testing is a Complimentary Consultation with Dr. Bobik. At that time, you and the Doctor will discuss your health concerns.
- Following the Consultation, you will have a discussion with our Insurance and Financial Specialist to understand any benefits you may have. (See “Cost” section below for more details).
- Often, a blood draw may occur on the same date as the Consultation. The blood work is then shipped to a Lab, where your cells will be exposed to 320 different items (primarily foods, but also including environmental chemicals, molds, food additives and colorings, pharmaceuticals, medicinal herbs, etc.). The test will measure the amount of inflammation this causes in your cells, and will rank according to a Severe, Moderate, Mild, or No Intolerance to each item.
- Your results will arrive at the office in three weeks. You will then have a Report of Findings with the Doctor, where she will explain the results of your test. Several education materials are provided to you at this time.
Why is this test superior?
- This test is the gold standard of determining food sensitivities and inflammatory problems.
- Our Doctors consistently find that if you are a candidate for this test and you follow your results: this has the ability to be life changing!
What results might I expect?
- Well, each patient is different and so are the test results. Many have a 100% resolution of their symptoms.
- The first things that patients notice are: weight loss, brighter skin, less fatigue, better sleep, and mental clarity!
What is the cost of this investment in my health?
That depends upon your needs, but testing begins at $199. The test is available at FIVE different levels, and the first step is to schedule a Consultation with the Doctor to determine which level of testing you will benefit most from.
