Functional testing

Functional testing of blood, urine, saliva or hair, using the most up to date technology, can help identify the underlying reason behind your health problem by identifying imbalances and dysfunctions in normal physiology.

This is often the best way to establish a nutritional program. The results of these tests are discussed at a follow up consultation. Recommended tests include:

• Food intolerance testing
• Male and female hormone profiles to identify hormone imbalances.
• Thyroid screen to assess whether imbalances of thyroid hormones are responsible for health symptoms such as weight gain and fatigue.
• Liver detoxification capacity profile helps to assess how well the liver is working
• Hair mineral analysis to provide indications of mineral imbalances; deficiencies, and excesses of essential minerals and toxic metals.
• Comprehensive stool analysis to assess your ability to digest, absorb and metabolise nutrients, as well as report on levels of bacteria, yeast and parasites which may be contributing to health problems.
