Functional Testing
Personalised data, actionable insights
What is Functional Testing?
BEYOND LAB WORK YOUR GP ORDERED
Functional testing identifies how well different bodily functions, such as digestive health and hormone levels, are performing instead of simply looking at surface-level symptoms. These highly sophisticated tools identify underlying imbalances, including nutrient deficiencies and food sensitivities, that may be driving your health issues.
Standard medical testing aims to rule out disease and pathologies, whereas the goal of functional testing is root-cause analysis and prevention. Looking at a much wider range of markers, these tests provide a clear, fuller picture of why you’re not feeling your best – even when your standard blood test results are coming back ‘normal’.
TEST DON'T GUESS
Gut health test (stool)
Your gut plays an important role in far more than digestion. Home to about 85% of your immune system and often referred to as the body’s ‘emotional brain’ it’s closely linked to mood, energy, skin and hormonal health.
Standard stool tests usually screen only for acute infections, whereas this advanced diagnostic tool gives a comprehensive picture of digestive function, intestinal wellbeing and the gut microbiome, including potential bacterial overgrowths, fungi, viruses, parasites and yeast infections.
If you’re struggling with food intolerances, skin issues, frequent infections, sugar cravings, digestive issues, low mood or autoimmune disease, this test provides an in-depth report allowing a uniquely personal plan to be built to support your digestion and restore your body’s balance.
TEST DON'T GUESS
Comprehensive Hormone Check
If your hormones feel all over the shop – think mood swings, energy dips, irregular cycles - this 28-day saliva test helps uncover what’s really going on. It tracks fluctuations in estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone across a full menstrual cycle, offering valuable insight into hormonal patterns and balance.
Ideal for premenopausal and perimenopausal women not currently supplementing with hormones, this test can help explain symptoms such as fatigue, low mood, PMS, sleep changes, headaches, or difficulty losing weight. Understanding these patterns is a powerful step towards restoring balance and feeling more like yourself again.
TEST DON'T GUESS
Metabolomix+
Combining blood, urine, and genetic analysis this at-home complete assessment reveals what’s really going on beneath the surface - from how your body produces energy to how it detoxifies, copes with stress, and handles toxins.
It’s ideal for anyone experiencing low energy, chronic fatigue, mood changes, or burnout, and especially helpful for those exposed to toxins through work or have been through an emotional and stressful life event. Expect the clarity needed to finally move forward with confidence and direction.
TEST DON'T GUESS
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) test
Minerals are the spark plugs of life. They're required for virtually every metabolic process in your body, including energy production, hormone regulation, digestion, immunity, and detoxification. Like everything else in your body, they don't work in isolation: when one mineral is out of balance, it affects the others, creating a chain reaction of deficiencies.
Unlike a standard blood test, which only shows what's circulating in your bloodstream at that very moment, the HTMA gives insights into what’s been happening in your body over the past three months. And, what’s stored in your tissues, including toxic metals like mercury and aluminium. If you’re grappling with fatigue, difficulty losing weight, brain fog, weak hair or nails, digestive issues or hormonal imbalances this test can provide clues allowing your plan to be truly tailored to meet your health goals.
