Last Saturday,  October 14, 2017 at their office in ACCRA Law Blg. BGC, Food Tolerance Test is the main topic of the program which helps us understand the kind of patience and discipline we may have to display and achieved.

The FIT is a comprehensive test from Cambridge Nutritional Sciences (CNS)  in the UK, and the only test of its kind in the Philippines, made available in several health facilities , including Life Science Center for Health and Wellness., in the Metro through Global Medical Technologies as their Official distributor of the CNS here in the Philippines.

Dr. Julien Kirby, Global Lab Systems Support Manager and Regional Sales Director of CMD took time to visit the Philippines and in fact a part of the team who developed and established effectively the FIT, Allergy and Auto Immune (AI) products. He said  We all have different reactions to exactly the same foods.What exactly okay to eat for some maybe toxic for others. Food however is  healthy on a traditional sense, can sabotage ones well being if he is intolerant to it".

If your body has an intolerance to a specific food that it cannot process. This means you are also depriving your body with the essential vitamins and minerals that it needs to function properly physically and mentally. If this keeps happening , you are unintentionally harming your body and will eventually lead to a more serious health issues" says Dr. Kirby.

One of our clients have been dealing with skin and hormone issue. The 1st step was to check her diet ,what food goes on her plate.. Though she is eating mostly greens, fruits and fish , and fit she still feels unwell. The results of the FIT showed us that her skin and hormone issues are triggered by some of the food that she is intolerant too." said Marbelle Aban, Registered Nutritionist Dietitian at LifeScience. Then we worked her in making change in her diet. She learned how to eliminateand replace some food items from her diet. Since then, her health issues started to disappear and she began feeling better , healthier " shares Aban.

Because of good results experience by clients , the FIT is now more accessible with more health facilities carrying the test , and at a more competitive cost.

When it was first introduced a few years back, the FIT cost over Php 20,000.00. Today, the test is available at LifeScience for Php 12,400.00 with Nutritional counselling with a physician and a nutritionits dietitian" enthused Genato.
