I deal with several different laboratories offering a wide range of functional and diagnostic tests. These can be very helpful to identify imbalances in the body, and enable us to design a protocol specific to your needs and health issues.
Labs that I use most often include Genova Diagnostics, Regenerus Labs, Invivo Clinical, Biolab, myDNAhealth, and Lorisian Laboratories
(Finger tip blood prick sample) -testing between 75 – 150 different foods
(Venous blood sample) -looking at the complete range of thyroid hormones TSH, T3, T4, Ft4, Ft3, FT4:Ft3 ratio, rT3, and TG and TPO antibodies
(Saliva collection samples) – assessing levels of cortisol and DHEA and the impact they may be having on stress levels, health, weight, thyroid function, mood etc.
(Stool sample/s) – analysis of gut bacteria -beneficial and pathogenic, parasites, yeasts; indications of inflammation, digestive capabilities, gut immunity, intestinal permeability
(Timed breath samples) – assessing levels of methane and hydrogen in the breath to indicate presence of SIBO
(Urine sample) – a comprehensive view of nutrient status and requirements, detoxification and methylation capability, energy production, gut dysbiosis and indications of yeast overgrowth
(Cheek swap sample) – looking at your genetic strengths and weaknesses, predisposition towards certain health conditions, genetic preference for certain foods and types of exercise
(Finger prick blood sample) – This vital nutrient is important for immune function, bone strength, brain health, metabolism and weight regulation, mood and energy and yet many of us in the UK are low in it.
(Venous blood or finger prick blood sample) – Homocysteine is a much more accurate marker for risk of cardiovascular disease than cholesterol. Elevated levels of homocysteine also predict Alzheimers and dementia, diabetes, and other chronic and inflammatory conditions. Yet is rarely tested for within conventional medicine.
