FUNCTIONAL TESTING

Anyone can order a
test. The art is in the
interpretation.

These tests aren’t secret, and any practitioner can order them. What makes the difference is knowing which test will answer your question, then reading every result together, across body systems and across years, until the pattern is clear.

THE APPROACH

Testing with a purpose.

The right test is the one that answers your question.

I don’t test for the sake of it. Each test is chosen to answer a specific question about your body, so you aren’t paying for results that won’t change what we do.

A single result rarely tells the whole story. Your stool test, hormones and bloods are read together and against your history because the cause of a symptom often sits in a different system from where it shows up.

Every result is then explained in your written protocol: what was found, what it means for you, and what we are doing about it.

CORE TESTING

The tests I use most, explained.

01

Comprehensive blood chemistry

Full blood count, iron studies, thyroid, liver and kidney function, lipids, glucose and insulin markers, vitamins and minerals. Read against functional ranges rather than just normal — and compared across years, where trends often reveal what a single result misses.

USEFUL FORFatigue, hormones, nutrient status, metabolic patterns and recovery.
02

Comprehensive stool testing

A detailed picture of your gut: the balance of your microbiome, pathogens and parasites, how well you digest and absorb foods, inflammation in the gut wall, and the gut-immune activity your GI tract is producing.

USEFUL FORDigestive symptoms, food reactions, skin conditions, immune and inflammatory patterns.
03

Organic acid testing

A urine test that measures the by-products of your metabolism, showing how well your cells produce energy, which nutrients are running short, how detoxification is working, neurotransmitter activity, and by-products of yeast and bacteria.

USEFUL FORFatigue, mood and cognition, complex chronic illness.
04

Comprehensive hormone testing

Dried urine testing of your sex hormones and, importantly, how your body breaks them down. Alongside adrenal hormones, cortisol curves and metabolite patterns.

USEFUL FORCycle and fertility concerns, perimenopause and menopause, hormone and stress conditions.
05

Cortisol & sleep profiles

Saliva testing of cortisol at set points through the day and melatonin overnight, showing the rhythm of your stress response and your sleep-wake cycle rather than a single snapshot.

USEFUL FORFatigue, burnout, insomnia, waking through the night.
06

Food reaction testing

IgG and IgA food sensitivity panels, IgE allergy panels and gut barrier markers. Each measure a different kind of immune reaction, and they are not interchangeable. Choosing the right one matters.

USEFUL FORBloating, skin conditions, migraines, gut pain and autoimmunity.
07

SIBO breath testing

Measures the hydrogen and methane gases produced by bacteria overgrowing in the small intestine, where they shouldn’t be in large numbers.

USEFUL FORBloating, gas, reflux, symptoms that worsen with fibre or probiotics.
08

Environmental exposure testing

Mould toxins, heavy metals and environmental chemicals such as glyphosate, measured in urine, blood or hair depending on the question.

USEFUL FORUnexplained fatigue, neurological or immune symptoms, exposure to water-damaged buildings.

HOW IT WORKS

From question to answer.

i.

CONSULTATION

We decide together which tests will answer your questions, and which you don’t need.

ii.

COLLECTION

Most tests are urine, saliva, stool or breath, collected at home. Blood tests are taken at a local collection centre.

iii.

INTERPRETATION

Results are read together, alongside your history and any previous testing.

iv.

YOUR PROTOCOL

Every finding is explained in writing, with a clear plan for what we do next.

CONSULTATIONS

Already have results? Bring them.

Many clients arrive with years of previous testing that has never been read together. That is often where the answer begins.
