Functional Testing

Do you want to dive deeper into your health and find out what's really going on in your body?

There are so many great testing options available to us that can provide valuable information about your health.

GI Map comprehensive stool analysis – my favourite test! Assess all good and bad microbial balance, parasites, viruses, and functionality of the digestive system.

Hair Tissue Analysis – looks for heavy metal contamination, as well as common minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium etc and ratios of these.

Bring in your blood test results – have you been told everything looks normal but you don’t feel well? I will explain your blood test results using different eyes by looking at optimal ranges and where we can improve your wellbeing.

IgG Food sensitivity + inflammation test – this is an advanced food sensitivity test which concurrently measures inflammation generated from these foods so that you are not removing foods unnecessarily. Easy at home blood spot collection. Test for 22, 132, or 176 foods and additives. Higher levels include a complementary gut barrier panel test looking at signs of candida, leaky gut, and bacterial overgrowth.

OMX – (Organic Metabolomics) measuring urinary metabolites produced as a result of the metabolism of many biological systems. This gives an amazing comprehensive 14 page insight into any biochemical dysfunctions particularly in 6 key areas of health - Metabolic Processing, Amino Acid and Protein Metabolism, Nutrition, Stress & Mood, Toxic Impacts, and Microbial Metabolism. Metabolites are impacted by many factors such as diet, nutrient status, genetics, gut microbiome, exercise, physiologic demands, immune reactions, disease states etc. This test is great for tricky cases of fatigue and mitochondrial dysfunction; metabolic disease; toxicity; neurological and nervous system disorders; to identify nutritional needs; and to gain a deep insight into mystery cases where the patient feels unwell, yet all other tests show no findings.

DNA Nutritional Gene testing - The myDNA testing is done by a simple buccal swab (saliva swab of the inner cheek area). This is an in-depth insight into your DNA testing 92 genes in the body all of which have nutritional impact and can be upregulated as required with diet, exercise, and lifestyle. This includes an extensive 92 genes, and 113 SNP's across: Digestion, Energy, Hormones, Stress and Cognitive Performance, Inflammation, Athletic Performance, DNA Protection and Repair, and Detoxification.

These are looking at nutritional genes to see our “tendencies” or our “playing field” and how to optimise our health. This is a one-off test as your genes will never change!

Liposcreen Cholesterol testing – Close to 50% of people who develop cardiac disease have ‘normal’ cholesterol levels. LDL cholesterol, often referred to as bad cholesterol, consists of up to seven sub-fractions. The large “beach-ball” like LDL particles shown in regular blood tests actually cause much less damage than the smaller very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles which have more atherogenic potential and are assessed in the liposcreen blood test to show a truer indication of the pattern of your cholesterol.

Iridology – our eyes are the window to our soul. A map system of the coloured parts of our eye, the iris, shows under and over function of body systems or “nurture points”. Three generations of family history are laid down in the eyes. It is not a diagnostic tool but helps to see where we can strengthen the body psychically and may show some emotional attributes too.

EIS 3D Body Scan - EIS (electro-interstitial scan) 3D full body scan is a non-invasive screening tool.  A tiny electric current (less than mobile phone usage), reads over and under function of body, some hormones, brain chemistry, stress markers, electrolytes, and more! Includes discussion of results in relation to health.

If you are interested in any of these functional tests, please book an appointment and together we can get to the bottom of your health issues!
