KBMO FIT TEST

Uncover Hidden Food Sensitivities for Optimal Health

What is the KBMO FIT Test?

The KBMO FIT (Food Inflammation Test) is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool designed to identify food sensitivities that may be contributing to chronic inflammation and a range of unresolved symptoms. Unlike traditional food allergy tests, which detect immediate, severe allergic reactions, the FIT Test analyzes your immune response to 176 different foods, food additives, and even Candida, revealing more subtle, delayed sensitivities.

Inflammation is a key factor in many chronic health issues, and often, the root cause lies in the foods we consume regularly. The FIT Test helps us pinpoint these dietary triggers, empowering you to make informed choices that can significantly improve your health and well-being.

Conditions and Symptoms Evaluated by the FIT Test

The KBMO FIT Test can be a valuable tool for individuals experiencing a wide array of chronic conditions and persistent symptoms that may be linked to underlying food sensitivities and inflammation. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Digestive Issues: Bloating, stomach pain (especially in the lower right quadrant), gas, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms, constipation, diarrhea.

  • Respiratory Symptoms: Chronic nasal congestion, difficulty with nasal breathing, frequent sinus issues.

  • Skin Conditions: Unexplained rashes, acne, eczema, or other inflammatory skin issues.

  • Fatigue and Cognitive Issues: Persistent fatigue, brain fog, difficulty concentrating.

  • Weight Management Challenges: Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise.

  • General Inflammation: Chronic pain, joint discomfort, and other symptoms associated with systemic inflammation.

  • Candida Overgrowth: The test can help identify immune responses related to Candida albicans, a yeast that, when overgrown, can contribute to various symptoms.

  • Leaky Gut Syndrome: By identifying inflammatory foods, the test can indirectly support the healing of the gut lining compromised by leaky gut.

Benefits of the FIT Test

The KBMO FIT Test offers numerous benefits for those seeking to understand and address the root causes of their health challenges:

  • Identifies Hidden Triggers: Uncovers specific foods and additives that may be causing chronic inflammation and symptoms, even if they seem “healthy.”
  • Reduces Inflammation: By eliminating trigger foods, you can significantly reduce systemic inflammation throughout your body.
  • Improves Digestive Health: Alleviates symptoms like bloating, stomach pain, and irregular bowel movements by healing the gut.
  • Enhances Respiratory Function: Often leads to reduced nasal congestion and improved nasal breathing.
  • Boosts Energy and Mental Clarity: Many individuals experience a reduction in fatigue and brain fog.
  • Supports Healthy Weight Management: Eliminating inflammatory foods can lead to effortless weight loss for some individuals.
  • Personalized Dietary Guidance: Provides a clear roadmap for a personalized anti-inflammatory diet.
  • Promotes Overall Well-being: Contributes to a feeling of greater health, vitality, and control over your body.

What One Can Expect During a FIT Test Evaluation and Treatment

Your journey with the KBMO FIT Test at The Hobson Institute typically involves several key steps:

  1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a thorough discussion of your health history, current symptoms, and wellness goals to determine if the FIT Test is the right approach for you.

  3. Results Review and Interpretation: Once your results are back, we will schedule a detailed consultation to review your personalized report. This report clearly identifies your inflammatory trigger foods, classifying them by severity.
  4. Personalized Treatment Plan Development: Based on your FIT Test results, we will work with you to develop a tailored dietary and lifestyle plan. This typically involves an elimination phase for trigger foods, followed by strategic reintroduction as appropriate.
  5.
