Functional Testing

Q: What do you mean by Functional Testing?

Most people who feel unwell will receive (diagnostic) test results that come back as 'normal' despite the fact they still present with very real unpleasant symptoms.

This is because diagnostic testing looks for markers to 'diagnose' illness only.

Functional testing however, focuses on how well our body systems are functioning as a whole and has the ability to look at the bigger picture. This type of testing is most helpful to identify chemical and microbial imbalances, pathogens and/or toxins that might be contributing to your sub optimal health, symptoms or chronic conditions.

​

Alongside tongue, nail and facial evaluation tools, I can recommend the most advanced functional testing available to help determine the underlying dysfunctions in the body.

​

After analysing your results, it will be possible to devise a tailored functional medicine programme that will include therapeutic foods and/or a specific dietary protocol alongside possible supplementation and lifestyle recommendations.

*New for 2025*

Im excited to be able to provide a Health Fundamentals HTMA as part of every programme I now offer. This is an excellent test for addressing health at the cellular level, especially if you've been experiencing symptoms for a little while. It provides key insights into essential mineral imbalances and ratios, heavy metal toxicity, gut health, metabolic function and energy systems- key areas of concern as we age and fundamental imbalances that need to be addressed for long term resolution of various health conditions.
