FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Functional testing offers valuable insights into how your body is functioning, helping to identify imbalances and deficiencies that may not be detected through standard health assessments. By analysing key indicators such as nutrient levels, hormone balance, gut health, and more, these tests offer a comprehensive understanding of your overall health. This enables the creation of highly personalised recommendations, focusing on addressing the root causes of health concerns. Functional testing can lead to more effective nutritional and lifestyle strategies, supporting optimal well-being and helping to prevent future health issues.
I offer a variety of functional tests that provide deeper insights into your body’s processes, allowing for tailored nutritional and lifestyle solutions based on your unique needs.
(*Please note that all tests incur an additional cost.)

EXAMPLES OF FUNCTIONAL TESTING
DUTCH TEST
Helps identify the root causes of sex hormone and adrenal imbalances in both women and men. It can provide insights into conditions such as premenstrual syndrome, PMDD, PCOS, menopause, infertility, weight gain, fatigue, low libido, sleep issues and mood disorders in women. As well as infertility, weight gain, fatigue, low libido, sleep issues, mood disorders and prostate issues in men. Additionally, the test can be used to gather baseline measurements for the administration and monitoring of hormone replacement therapy.
THYROID HORMONE TESTING
This profile analyses serum levels of TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, anti-TG antibodies, and anti-TPO antibodies to assess central and peripheral thyroid function, as well as thyroid auto-immunity.
Thyroid hormones are essential and primary regulators of the body's metabolism. Hormone imbalances can affect virtually every metabolic process in the body, exerting significant effects on mood and energy level.
Other tests are available and can be considered during consultations if deemed necessary or beneficial for your individual case.
