We use functional testing to help our clients identify specific areas of imbalance in the body that may be driving health concerns.
We work with a range of labs across the UK including:
Genova Diagnostics | Regenerus Labs | Biolab | Invivo Labs | LifeCode GX | Thriva | BTS
We do test on request but always have a pre-testing consult to ensure we get the right test for your concerns. Areas we can test are: the gut, adrenals, thyroid, hormones, genetics, inflammation, nutrient status.
Testing methods are lab-dependent and include stool, blood, hair analysis, saliva and urine.
Clients with Private Health can sometimes have cover for functional testing, otherwise, costs can seem high for these tests. It is for this reason that we only refer for testing where necessary.
