Nutrition services are offered as an adjunct to psychiatric care and do not replace medical or specialty nutritional treatment.
A Personalized Approach to Understanding Your Body’s Unique Nutritional Needs
At Chicago Shifa Psychiatry, we know that mental and physical health are deeply interconnected—and many patients struggle with symptoms that may be influenced by food sensitivities, inflammation, or metabolic imbalance.
To offer a more individualized, whole-person approach to care, we are excited to introduce Food Inflammation & Compatibility Testing as part of our integrative wellness services. This innovative test analyzes how your immune system responds to a variety of foods and additives. By examining subtle inflammatory reactions at the cellular level, the test helps identify which foods your body may find easier—or more difficult—to process. The goal is not to diagnose allergies but to provide actionable insight into how nutrition may be affecting energy, mood, digestion, and overall wellness.
With your personalized results, you will receive a guided plan that may include:
- Foods your body appears to respond well to
- Foods that may contribute to inflammation or discomfort
- A structured elimination or rotation plan to support healing
- Recommendations that complement your psychiatric or wellness treatment plan
- Weight-management support, including GLP-1 medications
- Vitamin B12 injections for energy, mood, and metabolic support
- Lab ordering, review & interpretation (psychiatric + metabolic)
- Food inflammation & compatibility testing for personalized nutrition
- Referrals to therapy, higher levels of care, or community support
- Coordination with medical specialists as needed
Patients often seek this testing when dealing with:
- Fatigue or brain fog
- Chronic bloating or digestive issues
- Skin concerns
- Mood fluctuations
- Difficulty identifying food triggers
- A desire for a more personalized approach to health
This service is offered as a cash-pay wellness upgrade, allowing you to explore your nutrition profile without relying on insurance restrictions. Many patients appreciate having a tailored roadmap to support their mental and physical well-being in a practical, sustainable way. If you're ready to understand your body on a deeper level—and take the guesswork out of food choices—our Food Inflammation & Compatibility Testing can help guide the way.
