FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Functional testing goes beyond standard blood work to uncover the root causes of symptoms. These advanced tools allow us to see how your body is functioning on a deeper level, from gut health to hormone balance, nutrient status, and immune responses.
During your consultation, I will give you recommendations for testing (if I believe it will be helpful) because I believe that everybody should know the options they have for their health.
If you’d like to go ahead and test before your first consultation, let’s discuss — book a discovery consult now!
By understanding the “why” behind your health concerns, we can create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
-
A comprehensive stool analysis that identifies the balance of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes in your gut, as well as digestive function and inflammation markers.
Identifies causes of bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, and IBS symptoms
Highlights imbalances linked to mood, immunity, skin, and energy levels
Detects potential overgrowths or infections that may need targeted support
-
A detailed blood test measuring TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. This gives a full picture of thyroid function — not just a single marker.
Detects hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and autoimmune thyroid conditions (like Hashimoto’s)
Explains symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, anxiety, and temperature regulation issues
Helps guide specific nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation strategies based on individual needs for optimal thyroid health
-
A non-invasive test analysing a small hair sample to assess mineral levels and toxic heavy metals over the past 3 months.
Identifies mineral deficiencies or imbalances impacting energy, mood, and metabolism
Detects heavy metals that can affect brain function, hormones, and detox pathways
Provides insight into stress response, adrenal function, and nutrient absorption
