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.

Hormone Testing

So what are your hormones doing? It’s a good question especially when you’re experiencing debilitating symptoms associated with menopause. There is much that can be done to rebalance hormones and health without tests. I may recomend testing so you can have a specific plan for key concerns.

• Suspect hormone imbalance

• Menopause symptoms like hot flushes, poor sleep that persist.
• To identify the phases of menopause.

Test Package

You can still test without a nutritional therapy programme.

On booking you receive your questionnaire and food diary to complete prior to the initial session. I will assess these and discuss which tests might be relevant for you and your budget in the initial 30 minute session.

I will then provide my recommendation of the most effective test for you via my practitioner platform with additional information, instructions and how to purchase. The test is chosen will provide the most valuable information to support your health concerns.

The 60 minute follow up takes place after you complete the test and results are complete. I’ll go over your results providing an interpretation, we discuss strategies you can use to address the markers. You leave with a nutrition action plan that tailors food and lifestyle changes accordingly.

This provides valuable insight into hormone health and help assess whether hormonal imbalances are contributing to your symptoms, such as acne, fatigue, low sex drive, mood changes, hot flushes and weight changes or other related health issues.
