If you’re dealing with symptoms like bloating, runny stool, acne, brain fog, or skin irritation, chances are it’s not just one trigger. It may be a mix of what you’re eating and what you’re exposed to outside or in your home. That’s why our Lab Director, Norma, says this is the most important at-home intolerance test for both adults and kids.

Food intolerances occur when your digestive enzymes and gut microbiome can’t properly break down a food, and environmental sensitivities reflect dissonance in how the body responds to external environmental factors, like fabrics, cleaning products, pollen, or pet dander.

That’s why our test looks at your body's response to over 830 items across 25 food and 8 environmental categories because knowing both your food intolerances and environmental sensitivities gives you the full picture.

The test analyzes sensitivities to over 640 food items and 190 environmental triggers, providing a broad perspective of potential sources of discomfort. Food items tested include grains, fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, nuts, seafood, and preservatives. For those with dietary sensitivities, the test also evaluates additives like emulsifiers and sweeteners, helping you pinpoint hidden triggers in your meals.

The environmental sensitivity panel includes common irritants such as pollen, animal dander, grasses, fabrics, and cleaning agents. While sensitivities are not the same as allergies, they can significantly impact how you feel daily. By identifying both food and environmental sensitivities together, this test provides a holistic view of potential stressors, helping you make meaningful adjustments to your diet and lifestyle.

Your results will provide a detailed report of sensitivities, categorized into levels based on severity. Items are color-coded to indicate the degree of sensitivity:

Level 3 (High Sensitivity): Likely to cause noticeable or strong symptoms.
Level 2 (Moderate Sensitivity): May cause mild or occasional symptoms.
Level 1 (Low Sensitivity): Minimal reactions or not noticable symptoms.

The results are accessible in PDF format, through the mobile app, or as a downloadable Excel spreadsheet for in-depth analysis. These insights help you craft an elimination plan, focusing first on removing Level 3 items for 6–8 weeks. Gradually reintroduce these items to observe how your body responds, enabling you to create a sustainable rotation and moderation plan.

It’s important to note that sensitivities can evolve over time due to factors like dietary habits, environmental changes, or stress levels. Retesting every 6–12 months ensures your health plan remains aligned with your body’s current needs. With 5Strands, you gain the tools to not only uncover triggers but also implement meaningful changes for improved well-being and vitality.

Frequently Asked Questions

This test uses bioresonance technology to analyze a simple hair sample, identifying how your body responds to over 830 food and environmental items. It focuses on intolerances and sensitivities, not allergies. Unlike traditional allergy tests, which measure immune responses, this test detects imbalances and triggers that may cause discomfort over time, such as digestive issues, skin irritations, or fatigue.

No, this is not a diagnostic tool or a permanent diet plan. The results are meant to guide you in eliminating temporary triggers that may cause discomfort. Intolerances and imbalances can change over time due to factors like diet, environment, and lifestyle. Retesting every 6–12 months helps you stay updated and refine your health plan.

Yes, this test is designed for both adults and children of all ages. Hair testing is safe, non-invasive, and easy to complete at home, making it an ideal option for younger children who may not tolerate traditional testing methods. It also eliminates the need for needles, bloodwork, or clinic visits.

You’ll receive a detailed report identifying your food and environmental intolerances, categorized into three levels of severity (mild, moderate, and high). The results will guide you through an elimination plan for 6–8 weeks, helping your body heal and rebalance. Afterward, you can reintroduce items gradually to identify safe levels of consumption.

Common symptoms linked to intolerances and sensitivities include bloating, constipation, eczema, joint pain, migraines, and mood swings. For children, symptoms like rashes, hyperactivity, or sleep disturbances may also be related. While this test cannot diagnose medical conditions, it provides valuable insights into potential dietary and environmental triggers that may contribute to these discomforts.

Environmental Sensitivities Trigger Symptoms Too

You might think your diet is the problem. But what if it’s your environment? A lot of the symptoms we blame on food - brain fog, skin flare-ups, or even diarrhea can actually come from everyday exposures. Things like dust in your bedroom, mold in the air vents, pet dander on the couch, or whatever’s in your laundry detergent. These aren’t harmless just because you don’t notice them right away.

That’s why we built this test. Our founder, Austin Collins, spent over a decade researching the link between low-level exposures and chronic symptoms. He handpicked a list of 850+ food and environmental items that people actually live with and eat every day. No strange or outlandish items. Just real-life inputs that could be wearing your body down.

Most allergy tests are looking for big, immediate reactions. That’s not what this is. We’re focused on intolerances - slow, delayed reactions that slip through the cracks and leave you with an upset stomach, skin problems, or headaches without knowing why.

When your results come back, you won’t be left guessing. You’ll have a clear look at what’s making your body work harder than it needs to. From there, you can start cutting out the problem items and feel your symptoms naturally calm down.

Awesome!
I have a 1 1/2 year old Bolognese male dog that has slowing down and not playing like he should as a puppy. Our vet found nothing wrong with him. I purchased the food and environmental sensitivity test for him and was surprised to find out things that were causing him to not feel as well as a young dog should. After eliminating several things from his surroundings and diet, he is slowly becoming a happy, active little boy again! I highly recommend this product!

FOOD SENSITIVITY
This was very eye opening to me to see all the food sensitivities that this test showed! In fact, one of the main staples of my diet is chicken, and this test showed a high level of intolerance. I would highly recommend this process of testing to anyone!
