"One Man's Meat Is Another Man's Poison"

Can chemical and food sensitivities cause acne? Although genetics is the underlying cause of acne, diet plays a critical role in preventing a wide range of degenerative diseases and premature aging including many skin disorders such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Knowing what you are sensitive or intolerant to can help alleviate numerous conditions such as digestive disorders, migraines, obesity, chronic fatigue, aching joints, autism, acne and other skin disorders, and many more.  At 916SKIN, we use the ALCAT test, which tests for sensitivities to foods, functional foods, herbs, food additives, food colorings, molds, and environmental chemicals. By eliminating (in some cases rotating) what you are sensitive or intolerant of can have a dramatic affect on your skin and on your health.  Following a customized protocol will enhance your health and improve your quality of life.

To schedule an ALCAT consultation or testing please contact the clinic.
