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.

  • “I started seeing Di whilst I was in the depths of motherhood, not a lot of time to myself but desperate for some guidance and help to support my own health. I immediately felt listened to, seen and understood. Di has been so supportive at assisting me in my journey at my own pace, never once feeling pressured and she is always more than happy to make adjustments to suit my needs. Thank you so much Di.”

    Celsey E. 

  • “After working my way through 6 months of intensive chemotherapy earlier this year, my body was suffering significantly and I was looking for ways to improve my recovery and to get me back on my feet ASAP. I met with Di who did a thorough assessment of my situation and put a plan together very quickly to tackle the worst of my symptoms first. Di was very supportive throughout my recovery and explained everything in great detail. I was so impressed with the knowledge and understanding that she had and would highly recommend her services.”
