BioScan Food Sensitivities
A non-invasive biofeedback assessment that reviews how your body responds to foods, food dyes, and common additives using a low-level electrical current applied to energy points on the body (acupuncture points). No needles.
What is the BioScan food sensitivity assessment?
BioScan evaluates biofeedback responses gathered from acupuncture points to help identify substances that may place greater stress on the body at the time of testing.
The assessment uses a very low-level electrical current to measure biofeedback signals. It is comfortable, non-invasive, and completed without needles.
How it works
- Arrival & setup: You get comfortable and we explain the process.
- Biofeedback scan: We assess selected acupuncture points using the BioScan device (about 30 minutes).
- Review: We go over your findings and discuss supportive next steps.
Total appointment time: 1 hour.
