Advanced Testing

If you’ve ever felt like “something’s not quite right” - but your GP tests came back normal, you’re not alone.

Many people struggle with fatigue, bloating, hormonal changes or unexplained symptoms that don’t show up on routine checks. That’s where individualised nutrition and functional testing come in — an evidence-based, whole-body approach to understanding your health.

Individualised nutrition is about tailoring your nutrition and lifestyle recommendations to your unique biology — including your gut health, hormone balance, nutrient status, genetics, and stress response. By identifying underlying imbalances rather than just managing symptoms, we can create a plan that truly supports your body.

The Power of Functional Testing

Functional tests provide a deeper understanding of how your body is functioning — not just whether it falls within a “normal” range. They help reveal subtle imbalances that can contribute to low energy, poor digestion, mood changes, or inflammation long before illness develops.

These insights allow for truly personalised nutrition plans that target root causes — whether that’s poor digestion, hormonal imbalance, inflammation, or nutrient depletion — and can be enhanced even further with DNA testing to understand your unique genetic needs.

Why It Matters for Preventative Health

Functional and genetic testing aren’t just for those with symptoms. They’re powerful tools for preventative healthcare. By identifying imbalances early — such as inflammation, poor detoxification, or nutrient inefficiency — you can make informed choices to protect your long-term health.

This proactive approach helps optimise energy, mood, hormones, digestion, and resilience. It’s about prevention, not reaction — working with your body’s natural systems to restore balance before problems escalate.

The Next Step Toward Better Health

If you’re tired of guessing or hearing “everything looks normal” when you know something isn’t, functional and genetic nutrition testing could be the missing piece.

As a qualified nutrition and functional medicine practitioner, I’ll guide you in choosing the most relevant tests using suitable laboratories, interpreting your results, and translating them into a clear, practical action plan — so you can finally understand what your body needs to thrive.

“MOT” test - (Recommended)

An in-depth test offering a complete analysis of vitamin, mineral, thyroid, cardiovascular, protein, iron, sugars, liver and gallbladder status. It also includes a full series of hormones and sex hormones and prostate assessment. These serve as important tools in the evaluation of several body systems. The FDX Ultra test is like a comprehensive annual body “MOT” to catch imbalances early and keep your performing at your best. It helps those who need to identify undiagnosed or unidentified underlying health issues or those who would like more insight into a chronic condition.

Comprehensive Gut Health Testing

For evaluating your microbiome, digestion, inflammation and potential infections.

These stool tests provide immediate, actionable clinical information for the management of GI health.
They can reveal important information about the root cause of many common gastrointestinal symptoms and non-GI conditions including:

Bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, IBS, allergies, autoimmune disease, mood disorders, joint and skin conditions, metabolic or weight concerns.

Hormone Analysis (DUTCH Test)

The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) test provides a valuable insight into 35 sex and adrenal hormones, including oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol, with metabolites. It also measures daily free cortisol and cortisone patterns, 8-OHdG, melatonin, and nine organic acids, including markers for B12, B6, biotin, glutathione, dopamine, norepinephrine /epinephrine, neuroinflammation, and tryptophan putrefaction, also offering insights into metabolic health – your energy, mood and metabolism as well as looking at potential reasons for stress and fatigue.

Nutrient Imbalances and Absorption

For finding out how your body is functioning at a cellular level. It helps identify issues like nutrient deficiencies (vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids) gut imbalances, toxin exposure, mood disorders, fatigue, chronic stress and problems with energy production or detoxification.

Food Intolerance and Sensitivity Panels

These tests pinpoint foods that may be triggering inflammation or digestive discomfort. Their past reputation has been somewhat negative but the technology now used has become more accurate in the last couple of years. The KBMO FIT Test measures delayed food sensitivities and gut inflammation by assessing IgG antibodies, immune complexes and complement activation (C3d) against various foods and additives. It can include gut barrier markers to evaluate intestinal permeability.

Cardiovascular Profile

This test is good for those who want a more comprehensive picture of heart disease risk and underlying mechanisms beyond a standard GP cholesterol/triglyceride tests. It analyses Lp(a) linked to clotting risk and ApoB, often considered a better indicator of CV risk than traditional cholesterol measurements.

DNA Testing

Nutrigenomic testing reveals how your unique genes affect your response to food, nutrients and lifestyle choices. This insight shows you exactly what your body needs to feel its best, optimise energy, balance hormones, support detoxification and promote long-term health. It’s a powerful way to move beyond guesswork and take a science-based approach to your wellbeing.
