Functional Test Guide
Your health and biochemistry is unique - and so are the answers your body holds.
While standard tests often only scratch the surface, functional testing digs deeper to uncover the root causes of symptoms, provide insights into how your body is working, and guide a personalised strategy for your long-term wellbeing.
From gut microbiome mapping and DNA testing, to hormone, metabolic, and toxin analysis - these advanced tools allow us to connect the dots in your health story and create a care plan that’s as individual as you are.
Whether you’re just beginning your health journey or you’re already a client looking to dig deeper, functional testing can give us the clarity and direction needed to help you feel and perform at your best. It helps to take out the guesswork and provide insights to help to guide therapeutic diet, lifestyle and supplemental strategies.
What you’ll find inside the guide
When you download my Services & Functional Testing Guide, you’ll discover:
An overview of how I work and what to expect when we partner together
The most popular functional tests I use with clients (gut microbiome, DNA, DUTCH, OAT, TruAge & more)
Examples of what each test can reveal and how they can shape your care plan
Optional specialty testing that can be added as your health journey evolves
This guide is your starting point for exploring the possibilities of precision data-driven health care - where we use data, science, and a whole-person approach to create lasting results.

Ready to take the next step?
I don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” programs. Together, we’ll build a personalised plan based on your health picture, your goals, and the data we uncover through functional testing.
