Your Test Notes & Recommendations From Alyssa - Senior Health Coach
Now that you have received your test results you may be wondering how to use them to achieve your goals.
Within your test results you will find 4 sections:
- Foods & Drinks
- Toxicity (Toxins & Heavy Metals)
- Nutrition (Vitamins, Minerals & Fatty Acids)
Let's cover how you should interpret your results in each section found in the tabs below.
Foods & Drinks: You have been tested for over 350+ specific food and drink items. Foods are made up of different components and in some cases, people are not able to tolerate a specific food or drink. There could be multiple reasons why, and some of the most common reasons are:
- the particular food or drink item's structure is not compatible with the body,
- a deficiency in a particular nutrient which may be causing an inflammatory response by consuming that food item,
- overall inflammation and sensitivity in the body,
- a toxic overload present in the body,
- pathogens, viruses, yeast, or overgrown fungi in the body
- an imbalance in the microbiome of the body
- overconsumption of that item on a daily basis, amongst many other reasons.
- Items in the GREEN zone indicate that no cellular inflammatory reactivity was found when testing your hair sample.
- Items in the ORANGE zone indicate that a mild inflammatory cellular reaction was found when your hair sample was tested.
- Items in the RED zone indicate that a moderate to severe inflammatory cellular reaction was found when testing your hair sample.
What you should do now: After ruling out allergies with an allergy test, you can consume the foods listed in green. You should sparingly consume foods and drinks in orange, and avoid food and drink items completely in red. If you need help on understand what each food or drink item is, you can utilize your knowledge base located in your myAFIL portal or by researching the items online.
Supplement Recommendations: We have specifically created customized supplements which can help reduce inflammation that may be caused by food items and promote balance in the body. Your customized Food Intolerance supplements are found in the blue box below.
Toxins: You have been tested for 350+ Environmental & Household Toxins. It is practically impossible to eliminate all exposure to toxins and heavy metals. Toxins are found in the air we breathe, the products we apply on our skin or inhale, the inorganic and processed food that we may consume, and the additives and chemicals found in our food and environment. There are steps you can take to reduce exposure and reduce any toxicity inside the body's cells and tissues. Toxicity inside the cells can produce many uncomfortable health and weight issues.
Your Test Results:
Toxins: You will find a list of the top 10 toxins your hair sample showed a high reactivity towards. These toxins will be in descending order. For example, number 1 is classified as the highest reactivity with number 2 being the second, and so forth. This does not mean that this toxin is in your body, rather that this particular toxin may instigate some type of inflammation internally.
Heavy Metals: You will find each heavy metal has been split into red - orange - grey zone.
- Heavy Metals in the RED zone indicate that there was a high sensitivity or cellular reaction to that Heavy Metal compound when your hair sample was tested. This does not necessarily mean that the heavy metal is present in your body.
- Heavy Metals in the ORANGE zone indicate that there was a mild to moderate reaction to that heavy metal compound when your hair sample was tested. This does not necessarily mean that the heavy metal is present in your body.
- Heavy Metals in the GREY zone showed no reactivity when your hair sample was tested.
What you should do now: You will find all the toxins and heavy metals inside the knowledge base center located in your myAFIL portal. You can use the myAFIL.com portal to understand these toxins and heavy metals better and where they are commonly found. You should avoid all products and pollutants that contain these toxins and heavy metals. Please note: Heavy Metals are not to be confused with minerals. More information is found in the knowledge base center. By going to www.myafil.com main menu -> My Results -> Knowledge Base.
Supplement Recommendations: In the blue box below you will find your recommended Toxicity Reduction Supplements which can help cleanse your body's cells from these toxins. Toxic residue can build up around the body's cells and tissue and cause uncomfortable symptoms, such as bloating, gas, digestive issues, joint or muscle pain, headaches, trouble sleeping, and inflammation.
Vitamins, Minerals & Fatty Acids: You have been tested for over 64+ vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. Our body's cells rely on free-flowing communication from cell to cell to replicate into healthy cells. A cellular nutrient deficiency can disconnect or halt this natural communication process. As a result, cells can become toxic, inflamed, and dehydrated.
Your Test Results: You will find that each item has a chart with a red - orange - green marker.
- Items with the GREEN marker indicate that no cellular nutrition deficiency was found when testing your hair sample.
- Items with the ORANGE marker indicate that a mild cellular nutrition deficiency was found when your hair sample was tested. (This means that not enough of that nutrient was found inside your cell).
- Items with the RED marker indicate that a moderate to severe cellular deficiency was found when testing your hair sample. (This means that not enough of that nutrient was found inside your cell).
Supplement Recommendations: We have specifically created customized supplements which can help increase your cell's ability to absorb nutrients from the foods you are consuming on a daily basis. You will also find customized supplements that aim to replenish the nutrient density inside your cell, decrease inflammation and increase hydration.
