Testing can take the guess work out of health improvement.  Knowing specific deficiencies or areas of imbalance in the body can help with designing a much more targeted and effective protocol for healing and wellness.

There are hundreds of tests available to the practitioner, and during a Nutritional Consultation we would discuss which, if any, would be most appropriate for you in the context of your health history and symptoms.

Recently however, many laboratories have started to offer some simple tests that can be done by you at home, with or without the involvement of a practitioner. Therefore, I am now offering testing in three different ways:

  • Level 1: A range of tests which you can order through me, which require finger-prick blood, saliva, breath, stool or urine samples which can be done at home.  I will forward on the report to you without interpretation or recommendations.  There will be no consultation fee – you just pay for the test.
  • Level 2: The same range of tests which you complete at home.  If, having received your results, you feel you need more help, you can contact me to arrange a consultation (90 minutes). I will then be able to explain the results in the context of your symptoms and health history, and recommend the appropriate course of action.  In this scenario, you pay for the test first, and then for the consultation afterwards if you need it.
  • Level 3: Book a Nutritional Consultation with me (90 minutes), and having taken a full case history and review of your symptoms, we will decide which, if any, tests are most appropriate.   In this scenario, you pay for the consultation (currently £115) and then for whatever private testing I may recommend (or I may refer you back to your GP with a specific test request).

For more complex Practitioner Only tests, I work with laboratories such as Genova Diagnostics, Regenerus Labs, Invivo Healthcare, Health Path, BioLab  Please contact me for details.  Prices range from £35 – £600. Contact me for more information.
