UNDERSTANING FUNCTIONAL TESTING
The core of my approach is to identify and address the root causes of your health concerns. Functional testing is an integral tool in this pursuit. It equips us with a deeper understanding of how your body operates and the reasons behind your particular health challenges.
Functional testing does not offer a conventional diagnosis; instead, it reveals valuable insights into any imbalances or dysfunctions. By utilising a range of tests—blood, saliva, urine, or stool—we can gather specific information that might otherwise remain unknown.
If you want to go down this route, each step of the testing process will be explained in detail, ensuring you are fully informed and comfortable. Through these insights, we can tailor a health plan that directly targets your unique needs, fostering a path to improved well-being.
Gut Stool Analysis
Your gut's well-being is a cornerstone of holistic health, profoundly impacting your immunity, hormonal equilibrium, cognitive functions, emotional state, sleep patterns, cardiac condition, and digestive processes. This non-invasive stool analysis offers a window into your gut's internal environment, providing a detailed picture of your digestive efficiency and nutrient absorption.
By evaluating the microbiome balance and identifying any unwelcome parasitic presence, the test can pinpoint underlying contributors to gastrointestinal distress. Embrace the opportunity for enhanced health and comfort with insights that could steer you toward targeted, effective solutions for optimal gut function.
Nutrigenomics Testing with Lifecode Gx
Delving into the intricacies of our DNA, nutrigenomic testing offers profound insights into how our genes shape everything from hormonal pathways and heart health to metabolic efficiency and mental wellness.
Specialised reports can reveal your individual nutritional needs and how your body responds to specific nutrients as well as uncover other key clinical areas such as nervous system functionality, hormonal equilibrium, and detoxification processes.
These insights are framed within the broader context of lifestyle and environmental factors, including sleep quality, stress levels, physical activity, and exposure to environmental toxins, providing a holistic view of how these elements interact with your genetic makeup.
This is the first step towards a more informed and personalised approach to your health and well-being.
Nutritional Deficiency Test
Every cell in your body thrives on the essential sustenance provided by nutrients, which are the keystones of all bodily functions and a formidable line of defence against numerous health conditions. A nutritional deficiency test offers a deep dive into your body’s vitamin and mineral landscape, providing a clear view of your current nutritional status.
This detailed examination not only evaluates the levels of key nutrients but also sheds light on how nutritional imbalances might subtly influence your overall health and well-being. With this knowledge, you can embark on a tailored journey towards replenishing any deficiencies and optimising your health, ensuring that your body receives the full spectrum of its nutritional needs.
Thyroid Function Assessment
Situated at the lower part of your neck, the thyroid gland—shaped like a butterfly—serves as your body’s metabolic maestro, orchestrating a symphony of hormones that regulate vital functions from energy production to temperature control. With thyroid disorders affecting approximately 5% of the population, and often being undetected in routine screenings, this comprehensive thyroid panel is designed for precision and thoroughness.
This detailed assessment measures levels of TSH, T4, T3, and thyroid antibodies, offering a complete picture of your thyroid health. It also evaluates key nutrients that are vital for thyroid function, such as Vitamin B12, folate, iron, and Vitamin D, ensuring no stone is left unturned in the quest for your well-being.
Embrace the clarity and control over your health with a thorough thyroid function test, a crucial step towards optimal vitality.
