FOOD INTOLERANCE: Why You Should Take A Test Now

Tweet

The year 2020 was quite the understatement of the decade. Fast forward to today, people have started to adapt to the new normal and have even taken things to a whole new level with health and wellness. It has become the buzzword and the ‘in’ thing. Wryly put, it has taken a pandemic for people to make time and focus on their own health and wellness as well as their family’s.

In fact, we’ve seen a surge of customers who have taken the Food Intolerance Test (FIT) from LifeScience Center. The FIT is famous among celebs, influencers and health buffs because it tests for the types of food your system is intolerant too. We list down reasons why YOU should take the Food Intolerance Test:

1. No, the Food Intolerance Test (FIT) is not the same as an allergy test. Intolerance symptoms may not be as life threatening as allergies, but it can affect your daily life by making you feel uncomfortable or irritated and can weaken your immune system. The FIT tests which types of food your body is intolerant or averse to.
2. But how exactly do you know if you’re already intolerant to food right? Is that even possible? Common symptoms of food intolerance include constant bloating, migraines, chronic tiredness and brain fog, and difficulty to lose weight may indicate that your body has reached its limit for certain food types. Awareness of food types your body is averse to makes it easier to eliminate them from your diet.
3. Why take the test at LifeScience Center you ask? Because LifeScience is the sister company of GMT Manila, the exclusive distributor of the Food Intolerance Test here in the country. So you’re assured that only the gold standard in tests and equipment are used to check up on you and assess your results.
4. Awesome care and support from your LifeScience Care Team! At LifeScience Center, you are assigned your very own personal Care Team who will assess you prior to your FIT and explain in detail your results and the next steps to get you started on your journey to better health.
5. The Food Intolerance Test is available at a super discounted price so you can take it with the whole family! Promo is extended this March so you might as well grab it while LifeScience Center still has slots.

LifeScience Center is also the only clinic in the country to have a full team of health practitioners trained in Functional Medicine. Each client will have their own wellness tribe consisting of a doctor, nutritionist-dietitian, health manager, health coach, fitness coach, and psychologist. No other consult will be as thorough and holistic as the ones offered in the center. If you or anyone you know is suffering from chronic conditions such as heart disease, hormonal imbalances, and gut problems, booking a consultation is your best bet in knowing how to resolve these issues for the long-term.

You can have online consults with their Functional Medicine-trained doctors

and Care Team or have it done in-clinic.

You can book your Food Intolerance Test online and have

your test done in LifeScience Center's clinic located in

High Street South Corporate Plaza.

Know which food items have been causing

inflammation and symptoms that can weaken your immune system.

Jovie Garcia, a caregiver from General Santos, wins ₱1M on the first day of 3.3 Shopee Milyonaryo

Caregivers have been called the unsung heroes of the pandemic, and with good reason. Caregiving is one of the toughest jobs around, made even more difficult by the additional health risks COVID-19 poses. 

As a caregiver, her job is never easy, but Jovie Garcia from General Santos City remains grateful for being able to keep it. She is also thankful that her husband can continue working as a tricycle driver, so they can both support their 14-year-old daughter and her ailing mother-in-law. “Buti nga po may trabaho kami nitong pandemic. Hindi naman po nai-stop,” she said.

Jovie was on duty when she won the opportunity to play 3.3 Shopee Milyonaryo, an interactive lucky draw contest on Shopee Live, last February 22. Her ward, 92-year-old Lola Maria, was right beside her, encouraging her during the game. 

Despite comments from other users telling her to pick boxes labeled with other letters, Jovie chose S, believing it to be a lucky letter since her daughter’s name starts with it. “Feeling po namin and’un talaga yung isang milyon,” she said.

Sure enough, the box was opened to reveal the ₱1M jackpot prize. Jovie, who was overwhelmed to the point of tears upon winning, was only able to announce the big news to her family over the phone as she was on 24-hour duty. She looks forward to sharing the joy and excitement with her loved ones in person. 

She also plans to use the prize money to buy medicines for her mother-in-law and fund a small business. “Hindi po talaga ako makapaniwala. Salamat po sa Panginoon. Maraming maraming salamat po sa Shopee family sa napalanunan kong ₱1M.”
