FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Functional testing provides deep insights into your body’s unique health profile, allowing for targeted and personalised treatment plans to address the root causes of your symptoms.
Gut Microbiome Mapping: This test evaluates a comprehensive range of microbial targets, including pathogenic and commensal bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites; as well as immune and digestive markers.
DNA analysis: Tests 160 snps of your DNA that relate to nutrition and lifestyle:
Lipid Metabolism • Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes • Inflammation (IL6, CRP) • Sodium Sensitivity • CoQ10 • Omega 3 and Omega 6 • Vitamins • Methylation (MTHFR), Folate and cofactors • Choline • Caffeine Metabolism • Coeliac Disease • Lactose Intolerance • Oxidative Stress • Phase I Detoxification • Phase II Detoxification (GSTM1) • Weight Management • HPA axis and Stress Responses • Sleep and Seasonal Variation • Physiogenomic Integration of Genetic and Functional Variability
REMS Bone density Scan REMS is an innovative, non-invasive bone scanning technology that uses ultrasound and radiofrequency, not radiation. Unlike traditional DXA scans, REMS is safe for frequent use, providing detailed insight into both bone density and bone quality.
Hormonal salivary testing (men & women): A precise way to measure the estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone stored in your body, not just those circulating in your bloodstream.
Hormonal DUTCH testing (men & women): A comprehensive sex and adrenal hormone test that includes metabolites and organic acids to bring patient hormone status into focus. In their active form, hormones act as chemical messengers to control, facilitate, or trigger various processes in the body.
Steroid hormones do not dissolve well in water so they cannot pass directly into the urine. Instead, they must be broken down in the liver and kidneys to form smaller, water-soluble particles (known as metabolites) which can be excreted. Certain metabolites can be harmful if they are produced in excess, which is one important reason to test.
Metabolites are sometimes difficult to detect with traditional methods but can be extremely important indicators for certain conditions. Urine testing is the best method for testing reproductive hormone metabolites. Testing these metabolites can give healthcare practitioners an in-depth picture of why their patient’s overall hormones are elevated, lacking, or point toward specific symptoms.
Other functional tests we can do are:-
- Blood pathology analysis
- Body composition
- Complicated UTI screening
- Vaginal Microbiome
- Heavy metals
