Functional Medicine Pathology Testing.
Functional medicine testing is a great way to help uncover the underlying causes of your discomfort, assess the health and function of your organ systems, and to offer more detailed information if we are not seeing expected results. Functional testing is often utilised by naturopaths to assess gut health (microbiome mapping), hormones, thyroid function, and nutritional deficiencies, but can include many more. By getting to the specifics of your biochemistry, we can better tailor a treatment plan that takes the guesswork out of subjective reporting.

Tests may include:
Gut microbiome testing:
State-of-the-art stool testing to investigate the health of your gut, the diversity of good bacteria and identifies possible pathogens like parasites, candida, or bacterial infections.
Food allergy and intolerance testing:
Identifies foods that are causing inflammation, immune dysfunction, fatigue, gut symptoms, and/or skin breakouts.
DUTCH testing:
(Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) The Gold standard for hormone testing. This test looks at many different hormones (ie. adrenal and sex hormones), identifies imbalances, and investigates whether detoxification pathways are working optimally. This test can also include cortisol testing and patterns, which can help to uncover how stress may be affecting you (whether you “feel stressed” or not!)
Adrenal health testing:
Assesses cortisol levels at several points throughout the day to identify adrenal dysfunction and offers information that can help pinpoint which herbal medicines and lifestyle changes would be best for you.
Organic Acid (OAT) testing:
Identifies markers for toxic overload, neurotransmitter imbalance, pathogens, candida, and some nutrient deficiencies.
Full thyroid testing:
Not just TSH, but ALL the thyroid markers that we need to identify what is really going on.
Plus, many other functional pathology tests, depending on your unique presentation and needs.
