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 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.

​

Here is a summary of some of the tests available to clients in online and face to face clinics in Colchester:

​

• Nutrition status including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fatty acids 

• Gut health including testing for malabsorption, inflammation and yeasts and bacteria
