Functional Medicine & Testing
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a science-based approach that focuses on finding and addressing the root causes of disease, rather than just managing symptoms.
By recognising that every individual is unique, this holistic approach considers your medical history, genetics, nutrition, lifestyle, and environment to identify underlying triggers of illness.
This comprehensive approach supports personalised treatment plans designed to restore health in the present and help prevent future disease.
Why Functional Medicine?
Chronic illness is complex, with different symptoms and causes in each person. What triggers sickness in one individual may be very different in another.
Working closely with your practitioner, you are educated and empowered to understand what may be driving your condition and how to address it. This collaborative approach gives you the tools and knowledge to take an active role in your health journey for lasting results.
We listen carefully to your story to understand who you are, identifying underlying imbalances and creating a tailored plan to restore your health.
Functional Testing
Functional testing uses advanced lab tests to identify your unique biochemical profile and highlight potential imbalances linked to disease. By testing rather than guessing, we gain a clear picture of what is happening in your body and how it affects your health.
We help you choose the right test, clinically analyse your results, and explain what they mean for you. This knowledge forms the basis of a personalised plan, making treatment more precise and effective for your specific needs.

Food Sensitivity & Intolerance Testing
If you often feel unwell after eating but can’t pinpoint why, food sensitivities or intolerances could be playing a role. These reactions can develop slowly or suddenly, and may affect your digestion, skin, mood, and energy levels in ways that are difficult to trace without proper testing.
Functional food sensitivity testing helps uncover how your body responds to specific foods and additives. By identifying these hidden triggers, you can make informed changes to your diet that bring relief, improve wellbeing, and restore balance.
-
Symptoms: Digestive upset, skin issues (acne, rashes, breakouts), fatigue, mood disorders, headaches
-
Popular Tests: Food Sensitivity & Intolerance Test (200+), Vegetarian Food Sensitivity & Intolerance Test (160+)
Gut Health Testing
Ongoing digestive problems can leave you feeling exhausted and frustrated, especially when you don’t know what’s causing them. Often, the root lies in imbalances in the gut, such as bacterial overgrowth, parasites, or poor absorption of nutrients.
Gut health tests help uncover these underlying issues so you can move beyond guesswork. With a clear picture of what’s happening inside your gut, we can guide you toward targeted solutions that support healing, restore balance, and improve your quality of life.

Symptoms: Bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort

Popular Tests: Comprehensive Stool Test (GI Map), Histamine Intolerance Test, SIBO Breath Test (Lactulose)
Hormonal Health Testing
If you often feel tired, wired, or out of sync with your body, hormones may be at the root. Imbalances in oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and other key hormones can affect mood, sleep, energy, metabolism, weight, and fertility.
Hormone and adrenal testing provides a deeper look at your body’s rhythms and stress response. Understanding these patterns can explain why you feel the way you do and highlight the next steps for restoring balance so you can feel more like yourself again.
-
Symptoms: Fatigue, low libido, irregular cycles, mood swings, fertility issues
-
Popular Tests: Dutch Plus Complete + Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR)
Metabolic & Nutritional Health Testing
Sometimes, even when you eat well, your body may not be absorbing or using nutrients effectively. Deficiencies or imbalances in vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids can impact energy, mood, immunity, and long-term health.
Nutritional and metabolic testing gives you a detailed snapshot of how well your body is functioning at a biochemical level. It shows where you may need extra support, helping you optimise your diet, supplements, and lifestyle choices with confidence.

Symptoms: Fatigue, weight changes, poor recovery, cognitive issues, hair loss
