Health and Nutrition Testing
The root cause of any health complaint is specific to the individual and based on multiple factors such as genetics, diet, lifestyle, toxicity exposure and psychological and physical stress. Functional testing enables us to understand all these factors, so we can treat the problem efficiently and effectively.
We’ve carefully selected the most advanced testing from specialist labs across the world, enabling us to provide exceptional treatment based on scientific fact one of the key factors when choosing a functional medicine doctor. They pick up disturbances in physiological functioning that conventional tests miss – because they’re either not sensitive enough or not looking for it.
Please note that Health and Nutrition Testing is only available as part of our consultation package. Tests are required to help our nutrition experts support you in getting to the root cause of your health concerns.
Prevention is better than cure
Not only is functional testing effective in the treatment of health complaints, but it can also be used to prevent disease. Virtually every complex chronic disease is preceded by long-term disturbances in functionality, which if detected early, can be resolved before more serious symptoms occur.
How does functional testing work?
A test will typically involve a breath, blood, saliva, urine or stool sample. The majority of these can be conducted at home. However, when a blood draw is required we can easily arrange this for you at our clinic.
We also offer a small range of testing to the public without needing a full consultation, however test results don’t come with an interpretation from a practitioner.
