Integrative Functional Testing
In some cases, I may recommend functional testing to gain comprehensive insights into your health status. Functional testing can reveal underlying imbalances or deficiencies that may be contributing to or exacerbating health symptoms.
Functional testing takes a comprehensive approach to assessing various aspects including biochemical, physiological, environmental, and lifestyle factors to get a whole view and holistic understanding of each individual’s health.
Based on the principles of functional medicine, functional testing aims to address underlying imbalances rather than simply managing symptoms.
Testing methods and treatment interventions are supported by scientific research and clinical evidence and emphasise evidence-based practices.
Example of integrative function tests I may use include:
Comprehensive Blood Panels
Hormone Assessments
CDSA - Stool Analysis
Food Sensitivity Testing
Micronutrient Testing
Gut Microbiome Analysis
Environmental Toxin Screening - HTMA - Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
Overall, integrative functional testing provides a holistic and personalised approach to healthcare, aiming to optimise health and well-being by addressing the underlying causes of health issues and promoting balance within the body's systems.
