Information - Functional Medicine & Testing
I use a range of laboratory tests. For some people, seeing an issue in black and white of a test result can help them make the changes they need. Some tests, such as saliva and urine, can be done at home; others, such as blood tests,s require a trip to the laboratory to provide a sample.
My favourite tests are from Genova Diagnostics, Regenerus, Invivo Clinical and FUNCTIONALDX. I use these tests to complete my assessment of digestive and gut analysis, and hormone testing. Functional medicine is a person-centred approach. It is about getting to the root of the health issues.
It is about focusing on the whole person and addressing underlying issues. I use these principles in my practice. I focus on peeling the layers of underlying imbalances that may have resulted in the person's current health issues.
