FUNCTIONAL PATHOLOGY TESTING
At times we need to perform further testing to get to the bottom of your nutritional conditions.
I have access to provide you with almost all functional pathology testing, with the most common types listed below:
DUTCH COMPLETE TEST™ - a comprehensive assessment of sex and adrenal hormones and their metabolites. It also includes the daily, free cortisol pattern, organic acids, melatonin (6-OHMS), and 8-OHdG.
DUTCH vs. Saliva Testing - While the free cortisol pattern in saliva has clinical value, there is a significant missing piece to surveying a patient’s HPA-Axis function with saliva testing – measuring cortisol metabolites. To properly characterize a patient’s cortisol status, free and metabolized cortisol should be measured to avoid misleading results when cortisol clearance is abnormally high or low. Likewise with sex hormones, measuring estrogen and androgen metabolites gives a fuller picture for more precise clinical diagnosis of hormonal imbalances and HRT monitoring.

COMPREHENSIVE DIGESTIVE STOOL ANALYSIS - A CDSA profile can reveal important underlying clinical information about many common symptoms such as gas, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and constipation. A standard stool test (micro culture and sensitivities) does not provide the vast information of a CDSA. The CDSA assesses the digestive tract and large intestine providing useful information and treatment protocols.
ALLERGY TESTING - An extensive range of allergy test panels for foods, moulds and other environmental allergens can be completed.
