THE BLOOD TEST

I use a comprehensive blood profile, processed through The Doctors' Laboratory on Wimpole Street, as an initial diagnostic tool.   This is the blood panel required for a Metabolic Balance dietary plan. I use sophisticated algorithms to analyse this profile, which I present to you in person and in a report.

​

I will use other functional medicine tests if they are warranted, including tests for: specific bloods, microbiome analysis through GutID, gut health markers, food antibodies, genetic SNPs......

OTHER FUNCTIONAL TESTS OFFERED

Functional tests can be extremely useful in identifying the imbalances driving any health challenge and can result in faster successful outcomes by making it easier to develop effective targeted plans.

​

However these can be expensive and I do not recommend them unless I feel that they are really necessary.

​

Further functional testing may involve samples of saliva, stool, urine, blood or breath and most take place at home.  All laboratories used are reputable and certified.

​

Laboratories utilised include:


Biolab

Invivo

Nordic Labs
