FUNCTIONAL TESTING OFFER £99 plus test cost
The saying “what’s measured, gets managed” is true. The right tests provide very powerful information and this is why I often test and not guess. The right tests will provide crucial information and enables me to adjust your health plan more effectively.
Functional Testing allows more personalised support and are widely recognised as reliable. They often go further than what a GP can offer under the NHS as they identify imbalances and work with our whole-body approach.
The results help in painting your health picture, they can rule things out which is equally as useful. Some of us also like to see it on paper, and understand whats going on especially if you have a chronic concern and it helps us take the right action.
Testing can be incorporated into my 121 nutritional therapy programmes and no additional consultations are required. I will assess the need for testing in our initial session. I’m experienced in functional testing and can help you choose the right test and interpret the results building the therapeutic health plan around this.
