Testing is invaluable in identifying root causes of your health issues and removes the guesswork, therefore can result in faster successful outcomes. Laboratory tests may be recommended during a consultation. I use a range of laboratories including: Biovis Laboratories, Genova Diagnostics, DUTCH test, and Nordic Laboratories.

There are many different types of tests that may be considered and typically involve a breath, blood, saliva, urine or stool sample. The majority of samples can be taken at home but sometimes client maybe be asked to visit a laboratory.

Functional laboratory testing is ONLY available alongside with a nutritional consultation.

This collect at home test provides a detailed analysis of hormone levels in your body, enabling us to identify possible hormone imbalances with precision. By gaining insight into the intricate hormonal dance within your body, we can tailor nutrition plans specifically designed to address the root causes of your symptoms. This personalised approach ensures more effective and targeted interventions, supporting your journey towards ultimate health and vitality. https://dutchtest.com/info-dutch-complete/

Comprehensive Stool Analysis

Non-invasive test and important diagnostic tool provides valuable insights into your well-being. The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms that play a crucial role in our overall health. Stool analysis can provide valuable insights into the diversity of your gut microbiome, and identify harmful bacteria or parasites that may be causing gastrointestinal distress and symptoms.

DNA Testing

Have you ever considered the profound impact your genes have on your overall health?

As a registered nutritionist, I help individuals uncover how their unique genetic makeup influences their response to food, supplements, and dietary changes. By delving into your DNA, we can pinpoint the key areas of your diet and lifestyle that require attention and craft a personalised nutrition plan tailored to maximise your potential and overall health.

Through DNA testing, we can pinpoint specific gene variations (SNPs) that influence various aspects of your health, such as hormone response, body composition, alcohol and caffeine metabolism, nutrient requirements, weight management, exercise optimization, and food sensitivities like gluten and lactose intolerance. By uncovering these genetic insights, we empower you to make more informed decisions about your food choices and lifestyle habits.

Benefits

The benefits of DNA testing in nutrition are vast. Firstly, it allows us to provide personalized nutrition recommendations based on your genetic makeup, optimising your dietary choices to support your unique needs. Additionally, understanding your genetic predispositions can aid in weight management by tailoring portion sizes, macronutrient ratios, and food selections to help you achieve your desired weight goals. Moreover, DNA testing can enhance your overall health and wellness by identifying how your body processes nutrients, evaluating your risk for certain health conditions, and guiding you on how to optimise your health through nutrition.

How Does it Work?

DNA testing is a straightforward and painless process. I use dnalife®, which was established by Nordic Laboratories and DNAlysis Biotechnology, who together have more than 40 years of experience in providing cutting-edge laboratory tests to clinicians across the globe. 

You will receive a DNA testing kit that you can easily utilise in the convenience of your home. The kit includes simple instructions for collecting a blood sample via finger prick, which is then sent to the laboratory for analysis. Once we receive the results, we will arrange a strategy consultation to review the findings and devise a personalized nutrition plan tailored to your genetic blueprint.

If you are seeking a more personalised approach to nutrition that aligns with your genetic makeup, reach out to us today to schedule an appointment and embark on your journey towards improved health and wellness.
