What is Functional Testing?

Functional testing provides a deeper understanding of your body’s unique biochemistry, helping to identify imbalances that may be affecting your health. These advanced tests go beyond standard blood work to assess key areas such as digestion, hormone balance, and nutrient status—allowing for a truly personalised approach to your health and wellness.

Here are the key functional tests that I work with:

GI Effects Stool Testing

Is this test right for you?

GI Effects testing may be beneficial if you experience:

✔️ Gas, bloating, or indigestion
