How Can Food Sensitivities Cause All These Problems?
Food sensitivities develop when incompletely digested proteins from the food we eat pass through our intestinal wall and enter our bloodstream. (This can happen when we have something called “leaky gut,” a byproduct of our stressful lives, poor food choices, medications, poor digestion, and more.)
Then, our immune system identifies these protein particles as foreign and mounts an immune response by releasing a swarm of compounds (called IgG4 antibodies) to attack the foreign invaders (called antigens). This immune response is an inflammatory process that can cause reactions at various sites in the body and result in some or ALL of the symptoms listed above.
Some of the sites where this can occur are the small and large intestines, skin, kidneys, ears, sinuses, head, lungs, and joints. Since IgG4 reactions occur several hours or even days later, there may be no obvious association between consuming a food and an adverse reaction. This is why it can be so difficult (if not impossible) to identify which foods are causing the problem—that is, unless you test. When you test, it’s EASY, which is why I LOVE the Personalized Food Sensitivity Profile.
How Does the Food Sensitivity Profile Work?
The Food Sensitivity Profile works by measuring levels of IgG4 antibodies specific to 30 commonly offending foods. Your results will indicate exactly which foods your immune system is reacting to, and the degree of severity (mild, moderate or severe).
Your sample is obtained in the comfort of your own home from a simple and painless finger stick. You collect a few drops of blood on an absorbent card which then dries and you ship it to the lab in a pre-paid test collection box. You can even call Fed-Ex for easy pick-up from your home or office, and it’s all pre-paid.
If your personalized Food Sensitivity Profile indicates problem foods, we will deliver dietary modifications and specific advice on how to eliminate, replace and re-introduce these foods into your diet. We will also tell you exactly what you need to do to heal your gut, if your results indicate that you may have leaky gut, as explained above.

“I was shocked when after doing some of the tests JJ recommended I discovered my ‘diet food’ was making me feel terrible and bloated.”
"You can imagine my surprise when I learned that a food I loved, and that I thought was keeping me skinny, was making me bloated, tired and irritable! Who knew?
I always saw corn as a healthy veggie choice. And at night when I had the munchies, I figured popcorn was the best of all evils.
I was shocked when after doing some of the tests JJ recommended I discovered my "diet food" was making me feel terrible and bloated. And as much as I loved my corn, I love feeling fourty-wonderful, energetic and focused much more!
Thank you JJ! You transformed my life forever!"

“After learning what specific foods were causing me trouble, I cut all of these foods out of my diet for 3 months and lo and behold, my constant cold-like symptoms disappeared completely! In fact, I didn’t get sick for 2 ½ years (not a single cold or flu). My friends couldn't believe the change."
"I used be plagued with cold-like symptoms nearly all the time. Every few weeks my glands would swell, my sinuses and ears would ache, and I would feel tired and under the weather. My friends commented that I took such good care of myself and ate so well, so they couldn’t understand why my immune system seemed to be so poor. Neither could I, and frankly, I was BEYOND frustrated.
Then I learned about food sensitivity testing, and it changed my life! I took the Food Sensitivity Profile and discovered that my body was reacting hugely to dairy, almonds, peanuts and soy. And here I was eating almonds all the time (thinking they were good for me), adding miso to my vegetable dressings every day, and consuming raw cheese and yogurt daily. All of these foods are healthy in theory, but they weren’t for me!
After learning that these foods were causing me trouble, I cut them out of my diet for 3 months, and lo and behold, my constant cold-like symptoms disappeared completely. In fact, I didn’t get sick for 2 ½ years (not a single cold or flu), even though I had added back in all of those foods to my diet after the first 3 months (rotating and not over-doing it with any of them like I had before). My friends couldn’t believe the change.
An added side benefit was that my body fat percentage dropped from 21% to 11% without any change to my exercise routine or reduction in calories. That was great, but honestly I was more ecstatic to feel better than I had in years.
Now my friends ask me what I’m eating to stay so healthy… and I tell them, it’s what I’m NOT eating that’s making all the difference.

FAQ
Q: I live outside of California. Can I do this test?
A: Absolutely. We ship test kits all over the world*, and can likely ship to you too, as long as you have a physical address (sorry, we cannot ship to a P.O. Box).
* International orders do require an additional surcharge. Please contact info@jjvirgin.com for international orders.
Q: How long will it take to get my results?
A: Results typically arrive within 2-3 weeks of receipt of your kit at the lab. Once the results are verified, the lab will notify us via email, and then we’ll contact you to set up your strategy session to review them. Please give us 3 weeks from the date the lab receives your test kit to contact you.
Q: Will my insurance pay for the testing?
A: As nutritionists, we are unable, by law, to provide coding or submit insurance claims on your behalf (which is why we can keep the costs of our testing so low). This is why we do require full payment up front. There may be options for you through your individual insurance provider (check directly with them for more info) or to deduct the costs of your tests via a Health Savings Account (HSA) through the US government. You can peruse the IRS publication 502 by clicking here to learn more about HSA options.
