What is functional nutrition testing?
Functional testing aims to establish the root cause of your ongoing, unresolved health symptoms. As a Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I have access to tests that are much more in depth than tests usually available on the NHS; helping you to get to the answers you have been searching for.
Functional nutrition testing allows me to assess how your diet, lifestyle, nutritional status, toxin exposure, and genetics are contributing to your symptoms and health concerns. Together with a thorough case history, these factors help to create a complete picture of your health.
I use the results from functional nutrition testing to create a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan, designed specifically for you, to support you on the road to better health so you can enjoy life again.
What types of functional nutrition testing do you offer?
Digestive Health: For unresolved digestive issues, I recommend a comprehensive stool test. A stool test involves a thorough assessment of your gut health, uncovering the root cause of the majority of digestive complaints.
A comprehensive stool test provides information on inflammation, and how well you digest and absorb your food. The test can also establish imbalances in yeast, parasites, and healthy and unhealthy bacteria in your gut.
Nutrient Deficiencies: A simple, at home urine test for vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and antioxidants to identify deficiencies that could be contributing to your symptoms, as well as inflammation and toxin exposure.
Hormonal Imbalances: Hormones like cortisol and sex hormones are tested using a simple at home saliva test to identify imbalances that could be affecting your metabolism, energy levels, mood, menstrual irregularities, menopause symptoms and overall health.
How much does functional nutrition testing cost?
The cost of functional nutritional testing varies depending on the test you need. You can schedule a FREE call with me to discuss costs and test recommendations based on your specific symptoms and health concerns.
All functional nutrition testing needs to be purchased alongside a personalised nutritional therapy support package. Costs for nutrition support packages start from £480 for a 6 week support package. 3 month and 6 month packages are also available; and the length of support you need to see improvements in your symptoms will depend on your health concerns.
