Vitae · Allergy & Sensitivity Testing

What your body reacts to.
In writing.

Comprehensive Vitae allergy and food-sensitivity panels — collected by Alicia at your home, office, hotel, or yacht. A single blood draw. Calmly handled.

02 — Why it matters

Many chronic symptoms — fatigue, gut discomfort, skin reactivity, recurring congestion — carry an immunologic signature. Vitae panels are designed to put that signature on paper, so your physician has data to work with instead of guesswork.

03 — The numbers, in brief

A short profile of the test.

The exact scope of your panel is selected by your ordering physician. The figures below describe the maximum coverage available across Vitae's comprehensive offering.

200+
Foods tested

Across dairy, grains, proteins, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beverages, spices, and additives.

50+
Environmental allergens

Pollens, dust mites, molds, danders, and select indoor and outdoor triggers.

2
Antibody classes measured

IgE for true allergies — immediate, well-validated. IgG for food sensitivities — delayed, used in functional medicine contexts.

1
Blood draw

One visit. About fifteen minutes. Results returned to you and your physician in one to two weeks.

04 — How it works

Two antibodies. Two questions.

Your immune system makes antibodies — proteins that recognize specific substances. Vitae's panels measure two of them.

IgE is the antibody class responsible for classic allergic reactions — hives, congestion, anaphylaxis. IgE testing is well-validated and is the mainstream laboratory tool for identifying true allergies, including foods, insect venoms, and environmental triggers.

IgG rises in response to repeated exposure to a substance, including foods you eat regularly. Elevated IgG is interpreted in functional and integrative medicine as a marker of food sensitivity — slower, more diffuse reactions like fatigue, gut discomfort, or brain fog.

A single blood draw measures both. The report goes to your physician, who decides what the results mean for you.

The items above are a representative sample, not an exhaustive list. Specific panel composition varies — your physician will choose based on what you're trying to learn.

06 — Who it's typically for

Clients tracking down chronic patterns.

01 — Persistent symptoms

Recurring gut discomfort, fatigue, skin reactivity, brain fog, or congestion without a clear cause — often a candidate for a closer look at immunologic patterns.

02 — Before a meaningful change

Useful as a baseline before significant changes to diet or environment, so you can measure what changed and what didn't.

03 — Functional medicine context

Often ordered by clinicians practicing functional or integrative medicine, who use the data as one input among many alongside symptoms, history, and other panels.

07 — How a visit works

Four quiet steps.

01 — Order

Through your physician.

Vitae testing requires a physician's order from your own clinician. Bring a written or electronic order to your visit. We collect the sample only.

02 — She collects

At your door.

A single blood draw at your home, office, hotel, or yacht. About fifteen minutes. Calmly handled.

03 — Sample to lab

Chain of custody.

Your sample is transported securely to Vitae's CLIA-certified laboratory for analysis.

04 — Results

In one to two weeks.

Delivered to you and your ordering physician. We do not interpret results — that's the physician's role.

08 — Reading the result

Two markers. Two interpretations.

IgE elevations

A true allergy signal.

Mainstream-validated. Used to identify substances that trigger classic allergic reactions.

Your physician correlates results with your clinical history and may direct avoidance strategies, follow-up skin testing, or — for severe reactions — emergency planning and epinephrine prescriptions.

IgG elevations

A food-sensitivity signal.

Used in functional and integrative medicine; not endorsed for diagnostic use by all mainstream allergy associations.

Your physician may use elevated IgG patterns as a guide for elimination trials, dietary rotations, or further investigation. A single number is not a diagnosis — it is one input alongside symptoms, history, and other panels.

We are honest about what this test is and isn't. IgE allergy testing is well-established. IgG sensitivity testing is widely used in functional medicine and is informative in that context, but it is not currently endorsed by every mainstream allergy organization as a stand-alone diagnostic. We collect the sample. Your physician interprets the meaning.
