Functional Testing

Functional medicine testing can be highly effective for chronic or hard-to-diagnose conditions, or when issues are unexplained or have unknown triggers, as well as for those looking to prevent disease and optimise wellness. By addressing imbalances early, these tests promote long-term health and vitality.

Functional testing

  • Hormone Imbalance

  • Heart Disease Risk Factors

  • Chronic Digestive / Gut Issues (IBS, SIBO etc)

  • Autoimmune Conditions / Immune Dysfunction

Functional Testing helps to uncover…

  • Chronic Fatigue / Post Viral Syndrome

  • Mood Disorders / Brain Fog / Cognition

  • Skin Conditions

  • Weight Management / Metabolic Issues

Functional Testing goes beyond standard lab work to provide you with more detailed insights. Common test types are listed below.

Types of testing

  • Screening for, or monitoring conditions such as cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic dysfunction, thyroid disease, inflammation, oxidative stress, vitamin/mineral imbalances and hormone imbalance etc.

  • Screening for beneficial and pathogenic bacteria, SIBO, yeast overgrowth, and parasites, including H. Pylori.

  • This test assess a person’s overall risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic disorders by looking beyond traditional markers like cholesterol. It involves a comprehensive panel of biomarkers that offer a more nuanced view of heart health and metabolic function.

  • A urine test (MycoTOX) designed to help uncover mould exposure.

  • Metabolomix+ is a nutritional assessment that analyses key biomarkers in a first morning void (FMV) urine sample, with optional add-ons like bloodspot and buccal swab, to identify functional nutritional needs and imbalances.

  • A variety of Nutrigenomics test panels inform how nutrition and lifestyle factors impact our genetic potential. From a full analysis of the DNA results, we can make empowering changes aligned with your genes to optimise health and well-being.

  • Testing for IgG antibodies associated with delayed food reactions.

  • Screening for allergies to over 300 allergens. The ALEX test is a quantitative immunoassay that measures the levels of specific IgE (sIgE) and total IgE (tIgE) antibodies.

  • Measuring the body’s burden of environmental toxins or metals that may be impacting overall health.

  • The DUTCH test range provides a comprehensive analysis of hormone levels and their metabolites, offering deeper insights into hormone imbalance and adrenal health.

    With the variety of testing available in the DUTCH range we can uncover the root causes of a variety of hormonal disruptions and its symptomology.

  • Providing an assessment of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis using carefully timed salivary samples of the hormone’s cortisol and DHEA.
