Functional Testing
Testing enables us to gain a deeper understanding of your health profile and to target specific areas that require support more effectively.
IT PLAYS A VALUABLE ROLE IN PROVIDING US WITH ESSENTIAL INSIGHTS TO ENHANCE THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR SUPPORT AND EXPEDITE YOUR RECOVERY PROCESS.
Whilst our approach focuses on dietary and lifestyle interventions, we may also recommend specific blood tests through your GP or suggest private tests conducted by private laboratories, depending on your individual needs. These tests are run by private labs, but there is absolutely no pressure for you to embark on private testing. Many tests can be done in the comfort of your home (stool, breath, urine, finger prick blood test).
​
Shall we need to organise a test that requires a blood draw, we will recommend you a phlebotomy clinic or a mobile phlebotomist close to where you live. If you live within the M25, we will recommend our trusted mobile phlebotomist to come to your home as a convenient and affordable option.
Comprehensive Stool Test
Biomarkers include Digestion/Absorption, Inflammation/Immunology, and the Gut Microbiome - including bacteria, parasites, yeasts and moulds. The health of the entire body is dependent on a healthy gut and gut microbiome. Gut microbes are codependent with one another and with their human host, and the health of one affects the other.

SIBO Breath Test
This 3 hour breath test measures hydrogen and methane gasses in response to lactulose or glucose. If SIBO is present, the bacteria will begin to metabolise lactulose before it reaches the large intestine, causing an early increase in gas production. This test helps us assess for the presence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth as well as intestinal methanogen overgrowth.

Food Sensitivity Test
Cyrex Labs are highly accurate and offer the most comprehensive food sensitivity panel. The Multiple Food Immune Reactivity Screen evaluates immune reactions to 180 raw, cooked or modified foods, lectins, aquaporins and artificial food additives, including meat glue, colorings, and gums.
PRICING: FROM $390
Autoimmune Panel
We offer a wide range of autoimmune antibodies to investigate autoimmunity (expressed and silent). The full range tested comprises antibodies against all the major body tissues including digestive system, thyroid, adrenals, heart, ovaries, testis, joints, bones, liver, pancreas, brain and cell components.

Intestinal Permeability
Cyrex Labs measure intestinal permeability to large molecules, which inflame immune system. This test is helpful for individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune disease and/or multiple food intolerances.

Food, Mould & Environmental Allergies
IgE allergy testing is crucial for identifying specific triggers and managing symptoms. Elevated IgE levels signal immune responses to allergens like foods, pollen, or pet dander. By pinpointing these allergens, individuals can avoid triggers, lower the risk of severe reactions, and manage conditions such as asthma, eczema, or hay fever effectively.

Adrenal Stress Profile
The Adrenal Stress Profile (ASP) provides an assessment of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis using carefully timed salivary samples of the hormones cortisol and DHEA. Stress can have a significant impact on the immune system and is known to play a role in the development and exacerbation of autoimmune diseases.
PRICING: FROM £135
Blood Brain Barrier
Evaluation of breach of the Blood-Brain Barrier by stress, trauma or environmental triggers. This test is helpful if you play contact sports during which repeated head trauma occurs, if you have intestinal permeability or if you are exhibiting neurological symptoms.
PRICING: $269
Comprehensive Thyroid Panel
This test is helpful for individuals suffering from thyroid dysfunction, including low-grade hyper- or hypothyroidism, which might otherwise go undetected through standard blood tests, and auto-immune thyroid conditions either Hashimoto’s disease or Graves’ disease.
PRICING: FROM £79
Blood Chemistry Panel
Blood tells a story, from mild inflammation to chronic illnesses and serious diseases. We may ask your GP to run specific bloods or use a private lab if necessary. We may look at your red blood cells, inflammation, immune system, kidney and liver health, lipids, specific tissue antibodies, nutrient status such as vitamin D, B12, folate, iron status, etc...

CIRS - Mould Illness Testing
These includes: TGF Beta, MMP-9, aMSH, VIP, VEGF, C4a, leptin, anti gliadin antibodies/tissue transglutaminase antibodies, ADH/ Osmolality, ACTH/Cortisol, MARCoNS.​
Testing for one of the HLA genes associated with CIRS is also really helpful as the vast majority of CIRS cases do carry one of the susceptible genes.
