Holistic insights from laboratory testing
Using carefully selected laboratory tests, we can gain a deeper understanding of what may be happening within your body and explore factors that could be contributing to your symptoms or affecting your overall wellbeing.
Rather than looking at symptoms in isolation, functional testing can help us build a clearer picture of your individual health and use this information to create more personalised nutritional and lifestyle recommendations.
Functional testing in nutritional therapy
Where appropriate, functional testing can be used alongside your nutritional therapy programme to provide additional information about your current health status.
Personalised nutritional therapy
Your test results give us useful data that can help guide your personalised recommendations and provide a baseline from which we can monitor changes and progress over time.
Testing is not necessary for everyone. I will only recommend a test when I believe the results could provide useful information and help inform the next steps in your nutritional therapy journey.
As a Nutritional Therapist, I do not use functional testing to diagnose or treat medical conditions
Where results indicate that further medical investigation may be appropriate, I will recommend that you discuss these with your GP or another suitably qualified healthcare professional.
All functional tests I recommend are carried out by reputable, industry-recognised laboratories.
A personalised approach, built around you
Because testing is personalised and only recommended where appropriate, the cost of laboratory tests is not included within my nutritional therapy packages.
If I feel testing may be beneficial for you, we will discuss the options during your consultation. I will explain why I am recommending a particular test, what information it may provide and the cost involved, so you can make an informed decision before going ahead.
