Functional Health Testing Perth what is it

Your results came back normal, but you still feel unwell. Functional testing finds what standard pathology misses

A standard blood test is designed to detect disease. If your results fall within the normal reference range, you are told everything is fine.

 

Functional testing investigates how your body is functioning to uncover what is driving your symptoms and guides targeted and effective treatment plans for your long-term health and wellbeing.

 

What functional testing can help us understand:

They help us to understand how your hormones are metabolised, what your gut microbiome looks like, whether your thyroid has the nutritional cofactors it needs, or whether your cortisol is contributing to your fatigue.

​

These are the things that explain why you feel the way you do and they are not visible on a standard blood test.

​

Advanced tests like the GutIQ gut microbiome testing to DUTCH hormones, thyroid panels, adrenal function, cortisol and food intolerance testing allows us to connect the dots to your symptoms and create a nutrition and lifestyle plan that suits your individual needs. 

​

All testing is discussed and ordered at your initial or follow-up consultation.

THYROID HORMONES

Thyroid function tests

$269 (includes shipping)

The complete thyroid hormone profile accurately evaluates thyroid function as it measures thyroid gland activity, peripheral conversion of thyroid hormone, and thyroid autoantibodies.

​

This comprehensive test offers an in-depth interpretation of all thyroid markers, helping to identify issues related to thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism.

​

Markers include TSH, T4, T3, reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies. 

Food intolerance tests

$499 (includes shipping)

Food intolerances cause delayed reactions that can occur hours or days after eating the  food making them extremely difficult to identify. Food sensitivities and intolerances cause a range of symptoms, including bloating, diarrhoea, headaches,  fatigue, brain fog, skin rashes and chronic intestinal diseases.

 

IgG food sensitivity testing identifies the specific immune responses to food proteins that may be driving your symptoms, so a targeted elimination and reintroduction approach can be built around your individual results.

​​

The KMBO Fit food inflammation test evaluates 132 foods including gluten and dairy (casein, when protein) and includes gut barrier markers such as leaky gut, inflammation and candida to identify additional factors contributing to your food intolerances and sensitivities.

"The GI map test was very helpful, and Renae ably explained exactly how the different results were impacting on my son and how to help him heal. My son has made real progress with healing his gut, and we have seen a definite reduction in the amount of hives reactions he is having"
