Tests - Lab Diagnostics
Laboratory Diagnostics are important to clearly understand what is causing any health issues and discovering the root cause. It’s important to find and treat the underlying causes, rather than simply treating symptoms. Testing is invaluable in discovering exactly what is going wrong to determine an effective treatment plan to address the imbalances in the body. Our testing services assist in identifying the underlying cause of illness, as well as providing tools for the prevention of disease and premature aging. We provide a comprehensive range of functional pathology testing to provide the best consultative process for the treatment and assist optimal health results. For advice on which tests would be most beneficial for your health and wellness goals please book a consultation here.

DUTCH Test (Hormone)
Dried Urine Testing for Comprehensive Hormones (DUTCH) is the most advanced test for sex and adrenal hormones. It is an accurate and comprehensive test of sex hormones and metabolites (including 2,4,16-OH estrogens). DUTCH testing allows Erin to make the most informed clinical decisions about treatment options.

Complete Microbiome Mapping (Stool)
Complete Microbiome Mapping assesses a patient’s microbiome from a single stool sample that screens for pathogenic bacteria, commensal bacteria, opportunistic pathogens, fungi, viruses, and parasites. These microbes can cause disease or disrupt normal microbial balance and contribute to perturbations in the GI flora and contribute to illness.

Fitgenes (DNA Testing)
Discover the powerful interaction between genetics, diet, and lifestyle to meet your personal health and performance goals. The Health and Wellbeing genetic profile report is an in-depth analysis of the genetic variations that can influence the way the body responds to what we eat, how we exercise, and the way we live.

SIBO Test Comprehensive (Small Intestine Bowel Overgrowth)
Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a common gastrointestinal disorder that often underlies chronic gastrointestinal symptoms of maldigestion and malabsorption, including bloating, gas, diarrhoea, irregularity, and abdominal pain. This simple, non–invasive, breath test detects bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.

Organic Acids – Metabolic Analysis (Genova Diagnostics)
An organic acids test evaluates the organic acids that are excreted in your urine, to get a metabolic picture of your overall health. Organic acids (also known as metabolites) are products of our body’s metabolism. Metabolism is a process that breaks down food to give you energy.

ALCAT (Food Intolerances)
The Alcat Test measures individual responses to foods and other substances at the cellular level and may reveal the underlying trigger of certain symptoms. Food and chemical sensitivities have been linked to migraines, aching joints, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, and other symptoms related to chronic activation of the immune system.
-
Saliva Cortisol (Stress Test)
Cortisol “the stress hormone” is a life-sustaining adrenal hormone essential to the maintenance of homeostasis. Cortisol influences, regulates, or modulates many of the changes that occur in the body in response to stress. Unfortunately, in our current high-stress culture, the stress response is activated so often that the body does not always have a chance to return to normal. This can lead to health problems resulting from too much circulating cortisol and/or from too little cortisol if the adrenal glands become chronically fatigued (adrenal fatigue).

Heavy Metal Test
Heavy metals, such as mercury, lead and aluminium, accumulate in the body over time and are suspected to lead to a wide spread of symptoms and health conditions. Heavy metal toxicity is caused primarily by the levels of pollution and use of chemicals that we are exposed to on a day to day basis. The urine toxic metal analysis test is a remarkable tool for the assessment of fourteen toxic metals looking at the excretion of toxic metals in a 24 collection period.

US BioTek Food and Inhalants Allergy Panels
Advanced specialty testing for allergies and other sensitivities. Your body’s specific reaction to triggers such as foods, moulds, airborne allergies, and yeast can be looked at with a simple blood test or serum. An ELISA test is used to measure the exact number of antibodies produced to specific triggers. Panels can be as simple or as complex as you prefer to get the best picture of the overall immune system response.
