Functional Testing
Pathology testing can be really useful when investigating your health concerns more fully. Testing can range from standard blood tests to a variety of comprehensive functional and nutrition-related pathology tests. All tests are done via laboratories in Australia and in some cases internationally and test kits will be sent directly to you. Testing options will be discussed during your consult if required.

I have the ability to organise hundreds of different available blood tests through leading laboratories, including both standard blood tests and specialised blood tests.
Testing can include, thyroid, hormones, liver, nutrient status, cardiovascular testing and more.

Complete Microbiome Mapping takes the guesswork out of treating the gut and in turn the body, it gives important insights into how to specifically treat each individual. Testing identifies any viruses, parasites, worms while also providing information on intestinal function, good and bad pathogens (microflora balance), intestinal permeability, digestive ability, hormone detoxification and much more.
The gut plays a major role in most illnesses, from allergies to mental health to hormone dysregulation and blood sugar regulation. I would recommend this test to most people wanting to improve their health for the long term.

Hormone Testing includes checking cortisol levels, sometimes referred to as our stress hormone.
Female testing examines a woman’s reproductive hormones, these hormones regulate menstruation and fertility. They also have so many other effects on the body- mood, anxiety, acne, bone density, libido and weight gain.
Males can also have their reproductive hormones tested which can provide insight into a wide range of concerns, such as reduced libido and muscle mass, cardiovascular disease, mood, anxiety and other related imbalances.

Food Bio-compatibility Testing is a simple, non-invasive hair that identifies the influence of a wide range of foods and house-hold products on a cellular level.
The test detects foods and other products that are causing poor cellular function within the body. Removing these reactive and aggravating foods, we allow the cells to repair and function normally.
I would recommend this hair test for any client that wants to improve their health in the short and long term.

Heavy metals from our environment and foods we eat are all too common these days and can be the driving cause of your symptoms. Metal toxicity has been linked to many conditions, including hormonal imbalances, mental health conditions, nutritional deficiencies, infertility and so much more. Detoxifying these heavy metals out of our system can have such a great impact on our health.
The Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) test measures the levels of heavy metals found in hair (the most accurate way to detect storage levels), along with assessing your mineral status and mineral ratios (such as Zinc, Magnesium and Calcium).
