FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Using functional testing, it is possible to look at clinical data to identify some of the underlying causes for a range of health issues including anaemia, digestive imbalances, thyroid disorders, menopause imbalances and difficulties with weight loss.
​
Samples can be taken from urine, stools, saliva, DNA and blood (venous and finger prick) to provide powerful information, which can be used to support existing imbalances and be utilised in a preventative manner to help you optimise and personalise your nutrition across your life span.
