Your Journey
These are accessible aspects of your health which we can assess and rebalance across your journey, which starts with your story. Once you decide to take control, heal and optimise your health, we are in this together with your chosen circle-of-care, so it becomes our journey.

Testing
Whilst the appropriate functional testing can help uncover many underlying factors in dysfunction and therefore be an invaluable tool in guiding strategy, there are lots of different options on the market, making even the selection of the right test to fit your individual health picture confusing, not to mention actioning results.
We offer a range of functional testing selected from best-in-class, often cutting-edge labs from around the world to help guide your journey to optimal health. If testing is appropriate for you, we are committed to recommending tests that are cost-effective and actionable.
We also offer direct access to testing with a referral from a healthcare professional, as we are keen to ensure that you are working with a health professional who can help you translate your investment into action, as well as picking up on aspects that may require further investigation or intervention by a medical doctor.
The functional testing we offer provides deeper insights into the following areas:
- Hormonal balance
- Hormone metabolism
- Microbiome (gastro-intestinal, oral- and vaginal-)
- Neurotransmitter balance (brain chemistry)
- Nutritional Status (minerals, fatty acids, vitamins)
- Toxicity
- Immune dysfunction
- Food intolerances
- Bacteria and co-infection
Most functional testing requires samples of stool, urine, hair and saliva or a blood spot, so it is non-invasive.
