Carrol Food Intolerance Evaluation
The one thing that all the fancy diets miss
Let me just start by saying, I was super skeptical of this ‘vibrational food evaluation’ right up until I got my own results and experienced the life changing effects.
I learned of this method briefly in school but was taught that it had no evidence to support its accuracy (despite its 100 year track record of being used to help people overcome debilitating disease…) and at the time I was a proud supporter of “evidence based medicine”. So no double-blind-placebo-controlled study = no go.
That was until 3rd year of medical school when I learned how to actually read clinical studies and realized how often the results are manipulated and flawed.
But by then I was already a full believer in food sensitivity testing as it had helped me so much in my healing journey.
I had severe IBS and a family history of celiac disease and Crohns colitis (which I was desperately trying to avoid) and cutting out the 20 or so foods that were high on my food sensitivity evaluation did make me feel much better. Then I added in an arsenal of gut healing herbs and supplements over many years and I felt like my digestion was as good as it ever could be and I was ready to help others find the same relief.
And I won't lie, I did help many people improve their digestion dramatically using food sensitivity testing, elimination-challenge diets, detailed meal-planning to avoid trigger foods and loads of supplements.
But when my 2 month old baby had a full blown case of facial eczema that failed to clear after a 2 month elimination diet, I decided to expand my toolkit.
I had recently met a new doctor friend who practiced the Carroll Food Intolerance Method and ran the evaluations for her patients. She swore this was the answer and I was desperate.
With a healthy dose of skepticism I went straight to the source and enrolled in the Carroll Food Intolerance training to learn more. I discovered that both my son and I were intolerant to Dairy, which I already suspected and avoided, and Sugar when eaten within 4 hours of Fruit. Bingo.
Removing the tiny amount of sugar from both my diet and his dramatically improved his facial rash and his pesky diaper rash too (At this point he was about 6 months old and still predominantly breastfeeding but starting to introduce some whole foods).
And best of all I was blown away that my digestion actually improved too! My bowel movements were suddenly super regular and I had no more gas- at all. I didn't even know that was possible. My own small patch of eczema that I had developed in pregnancy also resolved. I was sold.
I was convinced that this method wasn't the hoax I had been taught about but I still wasn't sure how my clients would react. Would this method be easier to implement or more confusing? Would this bring deeper healing or would we still ultimately need to run food sensitivity testing on top? Would we still need all the supplemental support? Would I ever be able to introduce all the other foods I avoided?
I started running Carrol Evaluations on some current clients who had already run food sensitivity tests and were currently avoiding their medium-high reactivity foods and getting great results. I wanted to see if there was overlap in the results and if eliminating the entire food group, rather than just individual foods might result in faster healing.
Wow, I was blown away by what happened. Not only did people experience improvement in gut symptoms much faster, but they no longer needed the long list of supplements I previously used to ‘heal’ the gut. They were able to reverse IgG sensitivities within a few months and they didn’t develop new food sensitivities, indicating the leaky gut problem had actually resolved.
Now lets take a pause- If you’re not familiar with IgG sensitivities or you're confused about the difference between food sensitivities and food intolerance, and food allergy, you're not alone. This is the most common questions I get. So before I go on lets take a minute to clarify-
Food Sensitivities are immune driven- meaning your immune system tags proteins in your blood with IgG, IgM, or IgA flags that make said protein as a threat to be attacked and eliminated. This is why you get a "reaction" after eating the food. Your immune system is attacking it as if its a foreign invader.
Food allergies are similar to food sensitivities in that they are also immune driven, but these guys have an IgE flag. This is far more severe and the reactions the body gives can be quite scary- think anaphylaxis.
Food intolerances are much more nuanced, less easily explainable and also more foundational. Unlike food sensitivities, these never change, you are born with them and they have nothing to do with your immune system. These have more to do with your body not recognizing or having the tools to respond to these foods. I like to think of them more as a poison (like arsenic) than a sensitivity...your body goes into stress mode- fight, flight or freeze- which explains the diarrhea, gas/bloating and constipations that many folks experience when eating their trigger foods.
Ok, back to our previous discussion-
Shortly after I began using the Carroll Food intolerance evaluation I realized it was a secret weapon for reducing systemic inflammation and reversing disease everywhere in the body, not just the gut. Joint pains were suddenly gone, blood pressure dropped, brain fog cleared, skin rashes disappeared, moods stabilized.
And best of all I no longer have to order IgG, IgA, IgM or microbiome testing every 6 months to adjust the "avoid" list. This one-time evaluation makes most other expensive specialty tests completely pointless. No more playing whack-a-mole trying to chase around immune driven reactions because we’ve cleared the vibrational interference and healed the gut lining.
So why does it work so well?
Because it's addressing the gut issue at the root level.
You see every being has a unique energetic frequency, much like sound and light. When the frequency of a cell drops, we experience dis-ease, aka pain and disfunction.
The Carroll Food Evaluation technique compares your unique frequency to that of each food. If the frequencies clash (like an instrument out of tune) the food will not be well received by your body, so we mark it.
The same process is then done with foods in combination, which is even more valuable and unique in my opinion because there is no other evaluation on the market that even considers the effect of foods in combination. This explains why a food is tolerated sometimes but not others, it depends what else is in the meal.
We can also use this process to evaluate things like minerals and supplements to determine what you may need for optimal health.
The result is a highly individualized approach to nourishing your body, by focusing on foods that you can actually digest and absorb. Pair this with your favorite anti-inflammatory approach to eating and you’ve got yourself a grand-slam when it comes to healing and prevention of disease.

Common FAQ:
Can I eat a little bit of my CFIM foods if I mostly avoid them?
How often do I need to repeat this evaluation?
The best part is that your results are good for life! You were born with your unique vibration and it will never change. There is only one exception to this rule, which is in the case of blood transfusion. If you get a blood transfusion you will need to get re-evaluated for accurate results.
Is this a lab test?
No! This is a proprietary naturopathic technique to uncover innate food intolerances. There are no labs that perform this evaluation, it must be performed by a certified and licensed naturopathic physician.
Where can I get evaluated for Carroll Food Intolerances?
Previously you needed to be an active patient of a licensed naturopathic physician, but I created a mini program to allow you access to these results even if you have no intention of becoming a patient. This mini program includes all resources needed to understand and implement these results into your life with minimal effort. And if you do decide to enroll in 1:1 care the amount you pay for this evaluation can be applied to your intake package.
Can I eat a little bit of my CFIM foods if I mostly avoid them?
You can eat whatever you want! I view this as an empowerment tool. Its an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of your body and how it operates best. By the end of this mini course and receiving your evaluation you will be ready to implement the results and see for yourself how awesome you can feel. After that it's up to you if you stick with it or not. For me and my family, we choose to avoid our trigger foods 100% of the time because we now know exactly what price we will pay if we don't.
