Food Allergy Testing in Central Florida : Finding Food Answers and What Muscle Testing Can Do Better

Many of the women and families I work with come in feeling frustrated.

Their child has ongoing skin issues, or they feel bloated and reactive after meals, but standard food allergy panels don’t show anything “wrong.”

They’ve tried cutting out gluten and dairy. Sometimes it helps a little, sometimes not at all.

They’ve been told everything looks normal. But their body is still speaking up.

This is where muscle testing offers something different.

What Is Muscle Testing for Food Sensitivities?

Muscle testing, sometimes called applied kinesiology, is a non-invasive tool I use to observe how the body responds to different substances. It's not a diagnostic test. Instead, it provides real-time feedback from the nervous system to help us identify potential stressors.

In my practice, I use it to assess how the body reacts to individual foods, supplements, and environmental factors. It gives us a more nuanced look at how a particular food might be contributing to inflammation, digestive issues, or mood shifts.

Unlike blood or skin allergy tests that focus on immune markers like IgE or IgG, muscle testing can help identify patterns that are often missed on lab work. It’s especially helpful when someone is reacting to “healthy” foods, or when symptoms seem to shift without explanation.

Personalized Nutrition Support Based on Your Body’s Responses

Once we’ve identified which foods may be creating stress in the body, I create a custom plan that includes:

A list of foods your body currently responds well to
Supportive nutrition strategies to strengthen digestion and detox pathways
Natural supplements that are tested for compatibility with your body
Practical lifestyle shifts to reduce overall stress on the system

This kind of individualized approach allows us to support the body’s natural healing processes without guesswork.

Supporting Root Cause Wellness

In my work, I often see that food sensitivities are not the problem in and of themselves. They can be a sign that the body is overwhelmed or out of balance. Through muscle testing, I’m able to look deeper and explore potential contributors like:

Mineral deficiencies or hydration issues
Digestive imbalance
Toxic or microbial load
Emotional stressors
Systemic overwhelm

None of this is diagnostic; instead it provides a roadmap for supporting the body more intentionally and thoroughly.

Welcome to Living Well Holistics!

I'm Janelle, and I'm here to help guide you into the wellness you've been wanting!

As an educator and researcher in wellness, certified nutrition coach, biofeedback practitioner and holistic consultant, I'm able to curate the information and tools you truly need - nothing more and nothing less.

For over 12 years, I've been educating and helping families find wellness, beginning in my own family and extending into my community and many states across the US.

Living in the information age, where countless articles and ideas are available at our fingertips, wellness has begun to feel overwhelming.

But it doesn't have to be.

My methods are simple and guesswork-free.

In my own home, we've reversed eczema, heart disease, tics, asthma/allergies, adrenal fatigue, and dealt with all of the regular acute things that arise in a home.

I've spent over a decade researching, testing, and learning.

I'm here to bring you the curation of my 12 years of active experience.

I want everyone who works with me to walk away with actionable things they can easily do to get to where they want to go.

I've been able to do that for hundreds of families, but these ways aren't for everyone. They're ancient and modern at the same time; chat with me to see if we are the right fit for what you want.

Let's get to your wellness goals, simply.

Uncover your body's unique blueprint for health!

Get instant insights into your body, including information on your gut health, immune system, organs, glands, and more! Uncover root causes and solutions. Walk away knowing exactly what your body wants, and how to give it just that!

SCHEDULE YOUR SESSION

If your body could talk, what would it say?

"Thank you for today! Everything you said made perfect sense....I can't wait to start feeling like myself again."

"I was definitely open to discover how to help my body, but I didn't understand how impactful it would be for me...Little things that are actually big.

So, thank you."

"Hi Janelle, I'm doing a lot better! I've been [doing my protocol] and on my last period I didn't get any bad cramps!

It was the first time I didn't need to take any painkillers!"

Let's get you feeling your best with a wellness session!

Your body innately knows what it wants, and a wellness session is a painless, non-invasive method to uncover root causes and test, not guess, what your body is saying.

During a wellness session, we will conduct simple scanning and testing services that measure your body's automatic responses, using methods such as bioenergetics and applied kinesiology.

Then we will create a custom program that is specific to you.

You'll walk away empowered and moving forward.

Balance Wellness Scanning

Take a look inside your body.

The Zyto Balance Scan uses FDA-approved GSR technology and is a Class II Medical Device. The scan identifies up to 186+ stressors (e.g., bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxins) affecting your health.

By analyzing impulses from a hand cradle, it generates a 15+ page report with insights into your body’s balance.

Scanning is easy, painless, and provides valuable data for review.

Muscle Response Testing

Find out what your body is saying.

Muscle Response Testing is a non-invasive technique to identify stressors like nutritional deficiencies, toxins, or emotional imbalances.

By observing your body’s response to stimuli, I use various wellness techniques to pinpoint needs, test wellness items, and create a personalized plan.

This holistic approach helps you achieve optimal wellness tailored to your unique needs.

A Holistic Approach

Create a personal protocol + get coaching.

There are many good nutritional supplements and endless healthy foods, but you don’t need them all. During a session, I'll help you choose the things that are right for you.

We will create a custom program based on your goals.

Choosing the right supplements and foods means your investment is more likely to pay off, providing you the benefits you need and saving money on things you don’t need.

If needed and desired, we will follow up with functional labs, additional therapies or coaching sessions.

One session can make your health choices simple.

Can you tell me more about the testing?

Initial Appointment

The first thing we do is a basic assessment, where we will discuss your current health and uncover current issues and goals.
Then, you will complete a Balance Scan, which uses FDA approved GSR technology and is a Class II Medical Device. To complete, you simply place your hand on the hand cradle / scanner for 5-10 minutes as the program scans your body. It's painless and comfortable. The scan identifies 186+ stressors in the body (Bacteria, Viruses, Parasites, Fungi & Molds, Heavy Metals, Chemicals, Endocrine Disruptors, Water Contaminants, etc. that affect your health and produces a 10+ page report showing valuable insights.
Next, I will interpret your scan results and begin Muscle Testing.
Muscle Testing, sometimes referred to as "nutrition response," "applied kinesiology," "morphogenic field" or "quantum" testing, is a term used to describe the way the body automatically responds to various stimuli. It's easy, gentle and painless. This testing is done by the practitioner acting as the "scanner" so to speak, contacting points of the body with muscles and assessing for response.
Once the scanning and testing is complete, you will know your body's exact coherence (or, preference) for different substances, including but not limited to: Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs, Foods + Wellness Practices. No guesswork!
After your session, you'll be sent any relevant information discussed, personalized resources and next steps. You'll walk away knowing exactly what your body needs and what to do!
Food Testing can be added to this appointment.
If desired, we will plan future work such as emotional release, nutrition coaching, and even functional labs.

Follow Up Appointments

Follow-up sessions are designed to evaluate your progress, check for any changes in the body’s priorities, and refine your program based on what’s currently showing up.
We’ll begin by reviewing how you’ve responded to your personalized protocol—what’s improved, what’s shifted, and what still needs support. From there, I'll complete Muscle Testing to detect any new stressors or adjustments needed.
A follow up can also be scheduled for the purpose of:
– Emotional release techniques
– Nutrition and lifestyle coaching
– Functional lab or bloodwork review
– Additional focused testing (food sensitivities, hormonal stress, etc.)
Every follow-up is unique and fully tailored to your body’s current needs. You'll leave with an updated plan, continued clarity, and the confidence that you're on the right path.

Food Testing

This gentle, non-invasive test uses clinical muscle testing to assess how your body responds to the energetic signatures of 296 unique foods. It’s not a traditional allergy test—instead, it helps uncover subtle sensitivities, stressors, and inflammatory reactions that may be contributing to:

Bloating or digestive discomfort
Brain fog or fatigue
Skin issues like rashes or eczema
Cravings, mood swings, or sleep disruption
Behavioral shifts in children

The panel includes a wide range of items—from grains, dairy, and proteins to natural sugars, oils, sweeteners, and more. Testing helps us identify which foods are currently stressing your system and which ones are most compatible, so we can build a plan that works with your body, not against it.

I hope to serve you soon!
