The 5Strands Sensitivity & Imbalances Test provides a holistic analysis of your body’s unique interactions with food, environmental factors, and essential nutrients. Testing over 440 items, this at-home assessment empowers you with actionable insights to uncover dietary and environmental triggers, as well as nutrient deficiencies that may impact your health and well-being. With just a small hair sample, you can take control of your health journey from the comfort of your home.

Our non-invasive process uses bioresonance technology to analyze your body’s energetic response to specific items. This innovative approach identifies food intolerances, environmental sensitivities, and nutritional imbalances without requiring blood, saliva, or in-office visits. Whether you’re seeking answers for unexplained discomfort or aiming to optimize your diet, this test offers a tailored approach to understanding and improving your health.

What does this kit include?

  • Food Sensitivities: Over 234 items, including proteins, grains, fruits, vegetables, sweeteners, preservatives, and emulsifiers.
  • Environmental Sensitivities: Over 125 factors, such as pollen, animal dander, grasses, natural and synthetic fabrics, and cleaning agents.
  • Nutritional Imbalances: Over 83 key vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids to identify potential deficiencies or absorption issues.

Food sensitivities, environmental triggers, and nutritional imbalances are deeply interconnected, making it essential to evaluate all three together. Chronic sensitivities to certain foods can cause gut inflammation, which in turn blocks your body from properly absorbing vital nutrients. Similarly, environmental sensitivities, like reactions to pollen or cleaning agents, can heighten stress on the body, further impairing nutrient utilization. Testing these areas together provides a comprehensive health overview, enabling targeted adjustments to your diet, lifestyle, and supplementation to support long-term well-being.

Sensitivities and imbalances differ in how they impact the body. Sensitivities occur when your body struggles to process certain foods or environmental items, causing symptoms like bloating, skin irritation, or fatigue. These are not allergies, which involve immune responses and can cause severe, immediate reactions. Sensitivities are often temporary and can resolve with proper adjustments. Imbalances, on the other hand, reflect the body’s inability to absorb or utilize essential nutrients, often due to poor diet, overexposure to certain triggers, or underlying inflammation. These imbalances manifest as issues like brittle nails, muscle cramps, or chronic fatigue, highlighting the importance of addressing both sensitivities and imbalances together for holistic health improvement.

Register Your Kit: Use the unique ID code on the 5Strands portal or mobile app to link your sample to your account.

Gather Hair: Cut or gently pull 10–15 strands if your hair is longer than 1 inch, or 20–25 strands if it’s shorter. If dyed or treated, ensure your hair is clean and free of visible products or residues.

Secure Your Sample: Place the hair in the anti-static bag included in your kit and seal it securely.

Send It Back: Use the prepaid return label to mail your sample. Save your tracking number to monitor its progress.

Do I Need to Prepare Before Collecting? Bathing or special preparation is not required, but ensure the sample is clean and free of dirt or debris. The process is non-invasive, and the hair sample carries your unique energetic blueprint, enabling accurate analysis without needles, blood, or saliva.

When Will I Receive My Results? You’ll receive your results within 7–10 days of your sample’s arrival at our processing center. Results are accessible via email, the 5Strands portal, or the mobile app.

Your results are color-coded for easy interpretation:

Level 3 (Severe): Eliminate items 6–8 weeks allowing body to rebalance.
Level 2 (Moderate): Minimize exposure and monitor symptoms.
Level 1 (Mild): Rarely symptomatic, rotated and consumed in moderation.

Are the Results Permanent? No, your results reflect your body’s current state. Intolerances, sensitivities, and imbalances can evolve due to dietary changes, lifestyle shifts, and environmental exposure. Retesting every 6–12 months helps track progress, identify new triggers, and refine your wellness plan.

With your results, you can strategically eliminate triggers, adjust your diet, and address nutritional deficiencies. Whether you’re seeking relief from discomfort or optimizing your overall health, the 5Strands Sensitivity & Imbalances Test provides the roadmap to a healthier, more balanced life.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, this is not a diagnostic tool and does not test for allergies like IgE reactions or anaphylaxis. Instead, it identifies sensitivities and imbalances in how your body interacts with food, environmental factors, and nutrients. These insights help you address chronic discomforts such as digestive issues, skin irritation, or low energy by making informed dietary and lifestyle adjustments.

The Sensitivity & Imbalance Kit uses bioenergetic testing to analyze a small hair sample. Unlike traditional tests, this non-invasive method assesses your body’s energetic response to over 440 items. The results are tailored to your unique bio-individual needs, making it easier to uncover triggers and imbalances that may not show up in conventional blood tests.

Your results come color-coded into four sensitivity levels, helping you easily identify items to eliminate or moderate. For Level 3 sensitivities, remove those items for 6–8 weeks to allow your body time to reset. Nutritional imbalances highlighted in the results can guide you to prioritize whole-food sources of specific nutrients or explore high-quality, bioavailable supplements.

Yes, retesting every 6–12 months is recommended as sensitivities and imbalances can change over time due to shifts in diet, environment, or overall health. Retesting helps you track progress, uncover new triggers, and fine-tune your health plan to align with your evolving needs.

The results are designed to empower, not overwhelm. Start by focusing on Level 3 sensitivities and addressing the most immediate triggers. Use the included guidelines and color-coded charts to create a step-by-step plan. If you need additional guidance, our customer support team is here to help you interpret and apply the results to your health journey.

The Personalized Health Insights You Need

Your health is a dynamic puzzle, with diet, nutrition, and environment all playing critical roles in how you feel each day. The 5Strands Comprehensive Sensitivity & Imbalance Test goes beyond uncovering food and environmental triggers—it also identifies nutritional imbalances that may be at the root of persistent symptoms like fatigue, inflammation, and difficulty recovering from stress. These overlapping factors could be keeping you from achieving optimal health, and addressing them together is key to long-lasting relief.

This test empowers you to see the bigger picture by connecting food intolerances, environmental sensitivities, and nutrient imbalances. Many symptoms, such as digestive discomfort, brittle nails, or low energy, can stem from both intolerances and poor nutrient absorption caused by inflammation or exposure to certain triggers. By identifying these issues in tandem, you can make targeted changes to your diet and lifestyle, allowing your body the time it needs to heal and rebalance.

Don't delay taking control of your health. Every day you wait is another day spent guessing instead of addressing the root causes of your discomfort. With a simple hair test, you’ll receive a detailed roadmap to eliminate triggers, optimize your nutrition, and unlock better vitality for yourself or your child. Now is the time to act—gain the clarity you need to move forward with confidence and create a sustainable plan for long-term health and wellness.

    Combined kit seems incomplete

    Ordered the food, environment, and vitamin/mineral combo pack. At first they only ran the limited food sensitivity panel (it is, in fact, a much smaller set of foods than the stand-alone kit). Support was quick to resolve and get the other test run.

    However, I was still a bit disappointed in the set of foods tested - some very detailed and specific items were included (6 kinds of apples plus apple juice, lima beans, chicken and duck egg white and yolks separately evaluate, etc), while other common foods like broccoli and kale were excluded. I didn't find much value in the environmental panel.
