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 the body systems are functioning as a whole. 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.
