Testing

Functional tests investigate deeper into the mechanisms of your body such as how you are digesting your food, how well your liver detoxification pathways are working, or the burden on your body from environmental toxicities. These may include: Biocompatibility hair testing, DUTCH (hormone) testing and Hair Mineral Analysis.

Hair Mineral Tissue Analysis (HMTA)

Hair mineral tissue analysis measures the levels and comparative ratios of nutrient and toxic minerals found in hair, and is considered the most accurate way to test storage levels. Since the structure of hair remains unchanged, the minerals are fixed in the hair and levels do not significantly change once that portion of hair has grown. This test can detect an excess or deficiency of nutrient minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc or copper and also identify over exposure to toxic metals such as arsenic, aluminium, cadmium and mercury.

Many health conditions are aggravated by mineral imbalances and toxic metal excesses, including hormone issues, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, migraines, skin conditions and hyperactivity.

GI 360 Stool Test

The GI 360 is a comprehensive gut health assessment that provides detailed insight into digestion, microbiome balance, inflammation, and gastrointestinal function. Using advanced DNA and biochemical analysis, it evaluates bacteria, yeast, parasites, and viruses present in the gut, as well as markers of digestion, immune activity, and gut lining integrity.

This test helps identify imbalances such as dysbiosis, hidden infections, inflammation, leaky gut markers, and digestive insufficiencies, supporting a personalised treatment plan for symptoms like bloating, IBS, reflux, fatigue, skin issues, and chronic inflammation.

The GI 360 is ideal for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of their gut health and a targeted approach to restoring digestive function and overall wellbeing.

Vaginal Microbiome Test

The vagina has its own unique community of microorganisms that help protect against infections and support healthy function. Each person’s vaginal microbiome is unique, and it can change over time due to factors like age, hormonal shifts, stress, antibiotic use and other lifestyle influences.

The vaginal microbiome test is an advanced DNA analysis that can help to identify imbalances linked to symptoms such as recurrent thrush, bacterial vaginosis, irritation, discharge, odour, urinary tract infections, and discomfort, as well as issues affecting fertility and hormonal health.

It is a simple, self-collected vaginal swab that can be done in the comfort of your own home and can support a more targeted treatment plan to restore healthy vaginal flora and long-term intimate and reproductive health.

DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones)

DUTCH provides an extensive profile of the sex and adrenal steroidal hormones that your body is making, as well as excreting, by measuring your urine metabolites. These metabolites allow us to look deeper into how your hormones are behaving including how you are detoxifying them via the liver and what influence they maybe having on your symptoms. This simple at-home urine test can be especially useful when investigating the underlying cause of a complex hormone related issue such as PCOS or endometriosis as well as insomnia, fatigue, and digestive disturbances.
