I Tried Bioresonance Food Intolerance Testing – Here’s What Happened & Honest Review

May 21, 2025 · In: Nutrition Tips, Reviews

In this post I’ll be sharing my own personal experience with Bioresonance food intolerance or sensitivity testing to give you my honest review. This post is not sponsored I paid for the test with my own money to be able to give my unbias thoughts.

If you’ve ever dealt with bloating, random skin flare-ups, or a general feeling that something in your diet just doesn’t sit right—but you can’t quite pinpoint what—it can be so frustrating. That’s exactly how I felt recently, so I decided to try a food intolerance test. I went for a Bioresonance food sentitivity test from Testyourintolerance.com using a simple hair sample to give you my food intolerance testing review.

In this post, I’m sharing exactly how it works, what the results said, and how I’ve used the information to tweak my habits. I’ll also give you a few thoughts on the science behind it—because it’s definitely a bit of a grey area!

In PART 2 of this series I share my results after taking the foods out for a month. See that HERE

Why I Chose Food Intolerance Testing

Lately, I’ve been dealing with some issues—particularly achy puffy joints, feeling like I’m holding onto water, ever-present post-meal bloating and the constant struggle with my PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and weight loss resistance. While my PCOS and hormones play a big role, I also suspected my gut and food sensitivities might be part of the puzzle as there are times when the bloating can be intense and more so after certain meals though I haven’t been able to pinpoint exactly which foods were causing it.

I’m always working on my health but i’m certainly never perfect with my diet, and when a friend recommended this non-invasive Bioresonance test that had helped her, I thought, why not see if it can offer any suggestions or answers? I’m always open to trying things that can help me (and my clients) feel better.


What Is Bioresonance Food Intolerance Testing?

So, let’s break it down. Bioresonance testing is a type of complementary medicine that measures the energy frequencies in your body and how they react to specific substances—like foods, chemicals, and environmental toxins.

The idea is that imbalances in your body’s energetic frequency may signal sensitivities or intolerances. You simply send in a small hair sample, and the test is done remotely—no needles, no appointments.

👉 Important note: This method is not widely accepted by the medical community. There’s limited scientific evidence supporting Bioresonance.

That said, it’s an evolving science and there is some resent research shows that despite it’s controversy it’s starting to gain some recognition for it’s usage though they concluded that further research is still required.

So some people may still find it helpful as a starting point—not a diagnosis, but a prompt for reflection and a starting place to take action.


How the Testing Process Works

I used a company called Test Your Intolerance. Here’s what the process looked like:

food intolerance testing review hair
  1. Ordered the test online and instructions received via email.
  2. Took a small hair sample (ideally including the root).
  3. Posted it off in an envelope (postage NOT included in the cost).
  4. Received an in-depth results PDF by email around 10 days later.

The report is broken into several sections:

  • Food intolerances
  • Non-food environmental sensitivities
  • Nutrient imbalances/deficiencies
  • Metal Imbalances
  • Gut Biome Test
  • Digestive Health & Metabolism Analysis

It’s pretty detailed and honestly quite fascinating to read through!


What My Results Revealed

Let’s talk about the juicy bit—the results.

food intolerance testing review

🥛 Food Intolerances

I showed sensitivity to 41 items out of over 500 food and non food items. Some I rarely eat (like Oysters or lentils), but others I do include regularly, such as butter, egg whites, broccoli, soft cheeses and some E numbers that are usually found in processed foods.

One that was really not supprising but still equally devastating is Beer. I am a Brit and a Nothern one at that, and I love me a good ole pint of Beer. But I also know this is one thing that is certain to leave me feeling bloated and looking like I am about 6 months pregnant.

A lot of the other things I feel like I can manegably switch out. I was supprrised that there wasn’t a more general sensitivity to something like wheat or gluten.

It did however show E270 Lactic Acid. This is something that is found in fermented foods. I regularly consum Kefir to actually support my gut health, but according to this, what I thought was a health food could be causing issues. This also means that soft cheeses are out too.

The the other thing that I do regularly consume is chamomile as I have a chamomile tea most evenings. So I’m going to have to switch out for another evening type tea that I enjoy on a regular basis.

🦠 Non Food / Environmental Items

This section pointed to many items that I don’t believe I have contact with. Particularly showing cats, but also Dandilion. Now there is certainly no escaping Dandelion as it’s everywhere in my garden but I do regularly have a Dandelion tea, which is now something that I won’t continue with.

🔄 Nutritional Imbalances

Some markers came up under nutritional imbalances as this points to things that I want to look at adding into my diet.

Interestingly Inositol is on there. Now this is something that I regularly take as part of my PCOS supplementation protocol and I do find really helps. I have had a little break from taking it, just because I ran out, but this has prompted me to order a restock.

I’m taking note of the other nutrients to now try and include more of them from within my diet as I work towards and nutrition first approach,


What I’m Doing With the Info

The goal is to remove as many of the intolerant/sensitive items as possible. I feel that most of them can be easily substituted to not have to make a huge dramatic change. And a lot of the E number items that came up have just really prompted me to really focus on eating whole foods and to cut back on the snacking.I am making small, conscious shifts based on the results and I am going to work on cutting them out over the next 4 weeks.

I’m treating the test results as a starting point, to support me as I am in a phase where I am focused on mindful weight loss.

Along with the symptoms I mentioned earlier I have gained some weight over the last few months. As I say I am never perfect with my diet but thanks to PCOS if I let things slip too much, I gain weight really easily.

So over the next month I am working on removing as many of the sensitive items as possible. While also working on being in a calorie deficit as per one of my recent posts as I’m running this as a bit of a weight loss series.

Taking the test is really helping me to be more mindful about the foods that could be potentially contributing to the weight gain, the feeling of being inflamed and some of the digestive issues I have been experiencing.

So I’ll be keeping you updated and will post the next part in about a months time to give you a more informed feedback on this food intolerance testing review.

So make sure you are on my mailing list to ensure you don’t miss it, and of course you can also join me on this health kick by joining the 5 day kickstart challenge.



Should You Try It?

If you’re:

  • Struggling with unexplained symptoms,
  • Open-minded and curious,
  • And you want a fresh perspective on your health…

Then yes, it might be worth trying. Just go in knowing it’s a tool—not a diagnosis.

And if you do try it, use the insights to observe your body, make gentle tweaks, and see what happens.


Final Thoughts: Tuning Into Your Body in Midlife

Midlife health isn’t about magic fixes—it’s about becoming your own health detective. For me, this test offered a chance to stop and reflect. It nudged me to be more intentional about what I’m eating, how I’m feeling, and how I’m supporting my body during this chapter.

So, would I recommend it? Yes, with caution. It’s not scientifically perfect, but it might just give you that little nudge to explore what’s really going on. But of course I’ll let you know my experience once I have made the changes myself.

If you’ve ever tried a food intolerance test—or are thinking about it—I’d love to hear from you! Let’s keep the conversation going. 💬

Full body session 💥 This one’s all about sta Full body session 💥

This one’s all about stability, control and quality movement.

We’re mixing things up with slightly higher reps and a lighter load — a great way to build endurance, joint control and improve your mind–muscle connection. 💪

👉 Eccentric chin-ups for building pull-up strength
👉 Bosu squats for balance and ankle stability (perfect ski-season prep!)
👉 Hip thrusts for glute power and lower body endurance
👉 Marching side planks for core control and adductor strength (strong knees)

Remember — not every session needs to be heavy. Alternating rep ranges helps reduce plateaus, build strength through different phases and keep your body adapting.

Stronger. More stable. Ready for the slopes. 

Locals book your sessions for this block, or if you want to join DM me. Non locals save this workout for your next session. Let’s go 🙌

Workouts are way more than just building muscle or Workouts are way more than just building muscle or maintaining fitness. Fitness is for the mind just as much as the muscle. It becomes your you time, a moment when everything slows and you get to tune in with your own body. 

Use fitness as your moments of self care. When you look at it as self care you somehow want to do it more often.  #fitnesstips #fitnessmindset #fitnessover40

How I’m growing stronger daily in midlife — an How I’m growing stronger daily in midlife — and how you can too 

Strong isn’t just about lifting weights — it’s about building the daily habits that support your body and your mindset.

Here are 7 things I’m focusing on to feel stronger, healthier and more energised every day 👇

1️⃣ Set goals & intentions
I write down my goals every month and check in weekly. It keeps me focused, accountable, and moving forward — even when motivation dips.

2️⃣ Fuel your mind while you move
I listen to podcasts, affirmations or mindset activations on my walks. It’s such a simple way to strengthen both body and mind.

3️⃣ Strength train 3x per week
Three sessions is my sweet spot for building strength, keeping hormones balanced and feeling confident through midlife.

4️⃣ Progressive overload is key
You don’t need to crush yourself — just aim to improve. One more rep, a little more weight, better form. That’s how progress happens.

5️⃣ Optimise your protein
Protein is the foundation for muscle, recovery and hormone health. I aim for around 30g per meal to stay full, energised and strong.

6️⃣ Prioritise recovery & sleep
Rest isn’t lazy — it’s essential. Sleep, stretch, walk, unwind. Strength builds when you give your body time to recover.

7️⃣ Sign up for new challenges & events
Having something on the calendar — a race, fitness challenge or event — keeps me motivated, pushes me harder, and helps me grow in new ways.

Stronger isn’t just physical — it’s how you show up for yourself every single day.

Which do you need to give a little focus to?

When feelings of stress hit there is nothing like some girly chats in the sauna followed by cold dips to allow your stresses to feel a little less big and overwhelming

Moments of self care are a must. Take a moment for yourself this week in some way shape or form. 

I like to walk, read, meditate or do breath work as my too tools for stress relief. What works best for you???

But I haven’t touched a pole since I moved here 9 years ago!!!! Turns out it’s just like riding a bike and I can still (just about) get my chunky butt upside down

LOVED it, though I now remember the pain. Need to toughen up my skin again and I probably won’t be able to move my arms tomorrow 😂

Gonna dig out some old vids and combos and see what I can get back. This was lots of fun.
