Functional medicine&Women's health
Functional medicine testing is a comprehensive, individualised approach that seeks to identify the root causes of health issues rather than merely diagnosing disease or managing symptoms.
Comprehensive Blood Panels
These panels go beyond routine blood work, evaluating a wide range of markers such as:
- Inflammatory markers (e.g., hs-CRP)
- Full cholesterol and lipid profiles
- Blood sugar and insulin resistance markers (e.g., fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin)
- Liver and kidney function tests
- Thyroid function (including antibodies)
- Homocysteine
- Nutrient levels (e.g., vitamin D, B12, ferritin, zinc, RBC magnesium)
Hormone Testing
Functional medicine often utilises advanced hormone testing, including:
- Sex hormones (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone)
- Adrenal hormones (cortisol, DHEA-S)
- Thyroid hormones (TSH, T4, T3, antibodies)
- Tests may use blood, saliva, or urine (e.g., DUTCH test for comprehensive hormone metabolites)
Genetic Testing
Nutritional and Mineral Panels
Evaluates genetic predispositions affecting nutrient metabolism, detoxification, and disease risk (e.g., Nutrigenomix® for personalised nutrition guidance)
These assess deficiencies or imbalances in:
These assess deficiencies or imbalances in:
- Vitamins (D, B12, folate, etc.)
- Minerals (iron, magnesium, zinc, etc.)
- Coenzyme Q10 and other micronutrients
Digestive and Gut Health Testing
Advanced stool tests (e.g., GI-MAP®, GI-Effects®) and breath tests (for SIBO) evaluate:
- Gut microbiome composition
- Inflammatory markers
- Digestive enzyme function
- Presence of pathogens or dysbiosis
Food Sensitivity and Allergy Testing
Tests like the Mediator Release Test (MRT®) identify immune-mediated food sensitivities that may contribute to systemic inflammation or chronic symptoms.
Organic Acids Testing (OAT)
Environmental Toxins
Environmental Toxins
Urine-based tests that provide insights into:
- Metabolic pathways
- Mitochondrial function
- Oxidative stress
- Detoxification capacity
