FUNCTIONAL TESTING PERSONALISED WELLNESS
Unlock Your Body’s Secrets: Functional Testing for Personalised Midlife Wellness
“What’s measured gets managed.” This is especially true when it comes to your health. The right tests provide powerful information, which is why I often use functional testing—I don’t guess when it comes to your well-being. These tests offer crucial insights, allowing me to tailor your health plan for maximum effectiveness.
Unlike standard medical tests that diagnose disease, functional testing looks at the root causes of your health concerns. It identifies imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms, giving us a much clearer picture of your overall health. This personalized approach is widely recognized as reliable and often goes further than what’s available through the NHS, working with a whole-body perspective.
Seeing your health picture on paper can be incredibly empowering, especially if you’re dealing with a chronic issue. The results from functional testing help us understand what’s really going on and guide us toward the most effective action.
How Functional Testing Works:
Testing can be easily incorporated into my Nourish Nutrition Programme—no additional consultations are required. I’ll assess your need for testing during our initial session. I’m experienced in functional testing and can help you choose the right test, interpret the results, and build a therapeutic health plan around them. I also offer them as a separate service. Tests are best utilised within a consultation ( understanding health history and concerns) so you both choose the right one for your needs and understand what do do about the results!
Hormone Testing Understanding Your Unique Needs
Are your hormones playing havoc with your well-being? It’s a common question, especially during perimenopause and menopause. While much can be done to rebalance hormones naturally, testing can provide specific insights for key concerns. I may recommend hormone testing if you:
- Suspect a hormone imbalance
- Suffer from midlife bloating
- Experience persistent menopause symptoms like hot flUshes or poor sleep
- Want to identify your specific menopause phase
