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 broad normal range, you are told everything is fine.
Functional testing investigates how your body is actually functioning to uncover the root cause of your symptoms and guides targeted and effective treatment plans for your long-term health.
Functional tests help us to understand how your hormones are metabolised, what your gut microbiome looks like, whether your thyroid has the nutritional cofactors it needs, and whether your cortisol rhythm 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 GI Map 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.
GUT MICROBIOME TESTING PERTH & AUSTRALIA
GI Map stool test
$489 (includes shipping)
The GI-MAP is an in-depth stool test that offers detailed insights into your gut health and what is driving your symptoms.
A comprehensive test assessing microbiome diversity, bacterial pathogens, digestive function, enzymes, risk of food intolerance/allergies, intestinal inflammation and leaky gut, bile acids, short-chain fatty acids, and identifies potential pathogens such as viruses, parasites, worms, and Helicobacter pylori.
ADVANCED HORMONE TESTING
DUTCH hormones
from $489 (includes shipping)
DUTCH stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. The DUTCH tests use dried urine collected at specific times across a day or throughout the menstrual cycle to measure hormones and their metabolites at a level of detail standard pathology cannot achieve.
Whether you are managing PMOS, heavy periods, irregular cycles, perimenopause, or hormonal symptoms without a clear diagnosis. The DUTCH test provides a comprehensive assessment of sex hormones, oestrogen metabolism, cortisol patterns, and adrenal function helping to identify patterns of adrenal fatigue, stress response, HPA axis imbalance or anyone navigating hormone-related symptoms like mood swings, fatigue, poor sleep or weight changes.
There are 5 different DUTCH hormone tests available to provide a personalised approach to hormone testing depending on your needs.
THYROID HORMONES
Advanced thyroid function test
$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 testing
$495 (includes shipping)
Food intolerances cause delayed reactions that can occur hours or days after eating the offending food making them extremely difficult to identify through observation alone. Food sensitivities cause a range of symptoms, including skin rashes and chronic intestinal diseases.
IgG food sensitivity testing identifies the specific immune responses driving your symptoms so a targeted elimination and reintroduction approach can be built around your individual results.
The food inflammation test evaluates 176 foods including gluten and dairy 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"
