Meet our staff: 

Jo-Lynn Knapp HNC Holistic Nutrition Consultant

​

I graduated from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in 2007 and went on to follow my dream of owning my own health food store. I have always wanted to provide a safe and confidential space to people who are seeking out more natural ways to enhance their health. I have worked in the natural health industry for 11 years and I can honestly say I LOVE my job! I am always taking extra courses to further my education in this area and to provide my customers with the best, most innovative solutions to their health issues.  

 

Aleah Knapp: Dr.Ac, TCMD, Herbal Practitioner

 

I have worked for Simply Food For Thought for the past 8 years and I have learned a lot in my time here. It has largely influenced who I am and my decisions about what I want to do for a career. I started my natural learning journey when I was 17 and took an aromatherapy class. Then I moved to a homotoxicology course that taught me all about homeopathics and their amazing abilities. After that I did a year of studies in western herbology where I was introduced to the fascinating world of herbal medicine. And finally I completed my 4 year Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine course with 1000 hour practicum and am a fully lisenced Doctor of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor. I am thrilled to be able to operate my business "Ascension Acupuncture" our of our little shop! Check out Ascension Ascupuncture on facebook for more info or to book an appt online!

Nutrigenomics Testing

$395

Stop guessing. Start supplementing smarter with your DNA

Nutrigenomics is the science of how your genes interact with nutrients you eat. It helps us understand how your unique genetic makeup affects the way your body processes food, absorbs nutrients and responds to certain environmental factors, diets and supplements.

Think of your DNA like a blueprint. Within that blueprint, you might have small changes- called SNPs- that affect how your body functions. These SNPs can influence everything from how well you absorb vitamins to how efficiently your body detoxifies or produces energy. 

When you have certain SNPs, your body might not process specific nutrients properly. This can lead to hidden deficiencies, even if your eating a healthy diet. But here's the good news; once you understand your genetic blueprint, you can take targeted steps to support your body - like supplementing with the right nutrients in the right forms and doses. 

By addressing  your unique genetic needs, you can experience better energy, clearer thinking, improved mood, stronger immunity and overall better health. Nutrigenomics takes all the guesswork out of wellness and helps us personalize your path to feeling your best.

We've partnered with MaxGen Labs to provide this amazing testing to our clients and is just a simple cheek swab. We do ask that you not eat one hour before your cheek swab. 
 

Food Sensitivity Testing

$425

Could your favorite foods be secretly sabotaging you?

Food sensitivity testing helps you uncover how how your body really feels about the foods you're eating - even the "healthy" ones. Unlike food allergies that cause immediate reactions, food sensitivities often trigger delayed immune responses (measured by IgG antibodies), which can show up as inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, bloating, joint pain, skin issues, or stubborn weight. 

This blood test checks your body's IgG response to 206 common foods plus candida (a type of yeast that can throw off your gut balance). These hidden reactions often fly under the radar, making you feel off without knowing why. 

When you identify and temporarily remove the foods your body is reacting to, you give your system a chance to heal. People often experience more energy, clearer thinking, better digestion, improved mood, and relief from chronic symptoms they didn't realize were connected to food. 

Food sensitivity testing gives you a clear roadmap to eat in a way that supports your unique immune system and gut health - so your body can thrive, not just survive. 

This simple blood draw is done in our shop with our phlebotomy certified acupuncturist. Results take 1-2 weeks and we will email you a copy of your results and schedule a complimentary 15 minute consultation to help decode our findings and help you determine the next steps s well as food substitution ideas .  

 

Mold Toxicity Testing

$650

Could Mold be the hidden Cause of Your Chromic Symptoms?

Mold toxicity is often the missing link in mysterious health struggles. Water damaged buildings -homes, offices ,even your HVAC system- are breeding grounds for mold that constantly releases harmful mycotoxins into the air. These invisible toxins are inhaled daily, leading to a wide range of symptoms that often go misdiagnosed for years. 

In fact, the World Health Organization calls mold and mycotoxins "the great Masqueraders" because they mimic so many other illnesses. 
Our advanced mold toxicity test screens for 14 different mycotoxins using both IgE and IgG antibodies- the most precise and accurate way to determine if you've been exposed. 

If you're tired of chasing symptoms, it's time to uncover the real root cause.

Breath easier. Live clearer. Start with the test!

Thist test requires a blood draw done in house by our Phlebotomy certified Dr. of Acupuncture. Results usually take 2-3 weeks and you will be sent a copy of your results and booked in for a complimentary consult to go over the results and look at next steps.
