Testing

The first step would be to take a look at your recent blood test results, look for patterns in your health history, and find out what you haven’t been tested for that may be necessary to get to the core of your health issue.

We also use functional pathology if required. The more information we have the quicker we can address your underlying concerns. Functional pathology tests are used to investigate functional, biochemical, nutritional, metabolic and hormonal status.

Common pathology testing done through Australian laboratories include hormones, stool analysis, food intolerances and DNA profiling.

Comprehensive Stool testing evaluates beneficial bacteria levels, intestinal immune function, overall intestinal health, and inflammation markers. It detects the presence of pathogenic microorganisms such as yeast, parasites, and bacteria that contribute to chronic illness and neurological dysfunction.

Many chronic disorders come from digestive problems and inadequate nutrient absorption. Proper gastrointestinal function is needed to eliminate toxic substances, pathogenic microbes, and undigested food particles from the body to prevent health problems. Nutrients require a specific internal environment to be properly digested and transported throughout the body.

Abnormal intestinal microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract are widely known to cause disease. Research shows a relationship between the gastrointestinal health and the neurological, hepatic, and immune systems. For example, excessive yeast produces toxic substances that can pass through the blood-brain barrier and alter neurological functioning causing “brain fog,” behaviour problems, and learning difficulties.

We offer a range of Comprehensive Stool testing options, which allows us to understand microbial imbalances that may be contributing to your health concerns.

We test your hormones via saliva, research has found that this is more accurate than blood hormones as they are unbound and bioavailable in the saliva.

Salivary hormone testing allows us to determine hormonal imbalances and the potential impact this can have on physical and emotional health.

An imbalance can result in weight gain, mood swings, night sweats, disturbed sleep patterns, loss of libido and hot flushes.

Results make it possible for practitioners to individualise treatment to establish the best hormone balance for you.

Food intolerance is your body’s abnormal reaction to certain foods. Some of the most common symptoms include severe headaches, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, tiredness, skin conditions and respiratory problems.

It is often difficult for people to tell if they have an intolerance – especially when they have been living with it for some time – as symptoms often take hours or even days to appear.

We offer many different tests to assess how your body reacts to certain foods.

Your genes contain all the information required to construct, regulate and maintain all of your bodily processes.

By conducting a genetic test, we can determine your specific nutritional, lifestyle and environmental requirements to help manage any current conditions or prevent the onset of conditions in the future.

Using a cheek swab or saliva sample, we can determine if you have a predisposition to common diseases, as well as how you metabolise nutrients and medications.

We can also test Pyrroles, SIBO, Hair Mineral Analysis, Organic Acid Test, Neurotransmitters and many more….

Testing provides a tool for early intervention, management and monitoring of ongoing treatment efficacy and cuts out guesswork.

We may recommend some tests be done to identify the underlying causes of your health concerns. Where appropriate, this can be done by a referral letter to your GP, or alternatively, we may order blood tests through a private laboratory.

In addition to blood tests, we may recommend functional testing. These tests investigate hormonal, gastrointestinal, immune, genetic, metabolic and nutritional influences that may be impacting on your health. These tests are conducted through private laboratories.
