Functional Lab Testing.
State of the art functional lab testing is the quickest and easiest way to identify any toxicities and/or deficiencies that may be contributing to your symptoms. Understanding these means that we can address the root cause and begin to rebalance your body, removing the guesswork from looking at symptoms alone.
Functional Lab recommendations (not the tests themselves) are included in the 6 month coaching programme, however we do offer stand alone lab tests with a 30-45 minute result interpretation consultation:
Food Sensitivity Test.
Collection Method: At-home finger prick
The IgG Food Sensitivity Test assesses 190 foods including a wide range of foods, common in the Western, Asian, and Mediterranean diets + candida and yeast.
​
A food sensitivity is different to an allergy and is difficult (although possible through elimination diets) to pinpoint as it causes a delayed reaction that often don’t occur for 24-72 hours after eating.
​
Food sensitivities can be healthy foods! Remember everybody's body is different, if you suffer from any of the following you may be experiencing a response to a food sensitivity:
​​
> Inflammation > Itchy skin > Headaches > Joint Pain > Skin Rash > Low Mood > Irritability > Brain Fog > Muscle Weakness > Learning Disabilities > Mystery Pain & Stiffness

Every cell in your body depends on thyroid hormones for metabolism regulation and their levels can tell you if there is a thyroid imbalance. Also a key test to understand the root cause of unexplained weight gain or the inability to loose weight.
