NUTRITION & FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Testing for the Root Cause
I offer state-of-the-art functional medicine tests to patients who want to take some of the guess work out of getting to the root cause of their health issues. With this information, I can often hone in on any underlying problems/imbalances easier, tailoring recommendations so you can hopefully get quicker results. Tests are recommended only after having a thorough initial consultation with a client, getting to grips with their full health history and taking budget into consideration. Some blood tests can also often be arranged through your GP depending on symptoms. Some of the tests I use are listed below. This is not an exhaustive list.
Genova Diagnostics
GI Effects Comprehensive Stool Profile
This provides valuable insight into digestive function, intestinal inflammation, and the intestinal microbiome.
Genova Diagnostics
The Metabolomix+
The Metabolomix+ provides analysis of key nutritional biomarkers using non-invasive first morning void (FMV) urine collection with optional add-on bloodspot finger stick and buccal swab. It is similar to NutrEval, but can be collected entirely at home.
Lifecode Gx Genomics testing
Please see details of this in menu options under "Nutrigenomics"
DUTCH Complete
The DUTCH Complete is their flagship test and takes hormone testing to a whole new level. This test looks at sex hormones and their metabolites, the overall diurnal pattern of free cortisol, and the total distribution of cortisol metabolites in addition to OATs, which provide insight into nutritional deficiencies, oxidative stress, gut dysbiosis, melatonin, neuroinflammation, and more.

hair mineral analysis can be used to find indicators of toxins and mineral imbalances- indicators that may lead to more clues regarding the root cause of some issues
