FAQ's
How the Testing Works
A Plain-English Explanation
The food intolerance testing at Health Sense uses a method called bio-energetic testing, also known as electro-dermal testing. It's a well-established approach used by naturopathic practitioners, and it's quite different from the allergy tests you might have seen at a GP surgery.
What Actually Happens
During the session, you simply hold a small hand electrode. A very gentle, low-level electrical signal is used to measure how your body responds to different substances. The machine assesses subtle changes in the body's electrical conductivity — which can vary depending on how the body is responding to a particular food, chemical, or environmental factor.
There are no needles, no blood samples, no skin scratching, and no discomfort of any kind. Most clients describe the experience as interesting and relaxed. Children typically find it quite easy too.
What Does It Measure?
Bio-energetic testing looks at the body's response to over 200 potential stressors — far more than a standard allergy test covers. It can identify patterns of response to:
-
Foods and food groups
-
Food additives, colourings, and preservatives
-
Environmental substances (pollens, dust, mould)
-
Heavy metals and chemicals
-
Nutritional deficiencies
-
Microbial imbalances
Is It Scientific?
Bio-energetic testing is a naturopathic assessment tool used alongside a thorough health consultation — it's one piece of a larger picture, not a standalone medical diagnosis. At Health Sense, Laura uses the test results in the context of your full health history and symptoms, which is what gives them their practical value.
It's worth noting that this type of testing identifies intolerances and sensitivities, not allergies. If you have a known or suspected serious food allergy — particularly one involving a severe or anaphylactic reaction — this should always be managed through your GP and a qualified allergist.
What Do You Get at the End?
You'll receive a clear, jargon-free explanation of your results during the session itself, plus a written guide to take away with you. This includes which substances showed a stress response, what that may mean for your symptoms, and a practical plan of action — including dietary adjustments, any recommended supplements, and what to prioritise first.

Testimonials
"I'd been bloated every single day for years and just accepted it as normal. After one session with Laura I finally understood what was causing it. Within three weeks of cutting out the foods she identified, the bloating was almost completely gone. I wish I'd done this years ago."
S.M. — Bury St Edmunds
✓ Bloating resolved in 3 weeks
"I was sceptical going in — I'd tried everything. But Laura was so thorough and knowledgeable, and the results made so much sense once she explained them. My energy levels and skin have both improved significantly since following her advice."
K.W. — Stowmarket
✓ Improved energy & skin
"Took my 7-year-old son who'd been having tummy aches after school every day. Laura was brilliant with him — calm and patient. We found out he was reacting to a couple of foods we'd never have guessed. No more tummy aches since making the changes. Incredible."
Parent of E.T. — Norfolk
✓ Child's daily tummy aches resolved
