Sometimes our bodies send signals that just don’t make sense. Fatigue, digestive discomfort, skin issues, low immunity, or feeling “off” despite being told everything looks normal, can leave you frustrated and unsure what to do next.
Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) lab testing offers a gentle, root-cause approach. Instead of chasing individual symptoms, these tests uncover hidden stressors in your body across the gut, hormones, immune system, detoxification pathways, energy production, and nervous system, helping us create a personalised plan to restore balance and vitality.
GI-MAP & Gut Barrier Health
Your gut is central to your overall wellbeing, affecting digestion, immunity, and how your body processes nutrients. The GI-MAP test helps uncover hidden patterns in your gut that might be contributing to:
- Bloating or digestive discomfort
- Low immunity or frequent illness
- Skin flare-ups or sensitivities
- Fatigue or low energy
Adding the Zonulin Marker allows us to explore intestinal permeability, often called “leaky gut.” This shows whether your gut barrier may be under strain, which can influence inflammation, food reactions, and immune system stress.
Together, these insights help us understand how your gut is affecting your overall health and guide a personalised approach to restoring balance and comfort.
Food Sensitivity Testing (IgG)
Certain foods can quietly trigger inflammation or fatigue without obvious symptoms. The food sensitivity test assesses delayed immune reactions to common foods, helping reveal patterns that may be contributing to:
- Bloating, digestive upset, or discomfort after meals
- Fatigue, brain fog, or low energy
- Skin flare-ups, rashes, or irritation
- Subtle immune stress that can feel like “just not myself”
This allows us to create personalised nutrition strategies that support your body gently without unnecessary restriction or guessing.
Stress & Hormone Panel
Hormones and stress patterns influence how we feel day to day, our energy, sleep, mood, and resilience. The Stress & Hormone Panel evaluates key hormones like cortisol, DHEA, and sex hormones, helping uncover patterns that may be contributing to:
- Feeling drained, even after rest
- Poor sleep or trouble winding down
- Mood swings, irritability, or low motivation
- Difficulty coping with everyday stress
By understanding these patterns, we can gently support your body to regain energy, balance, and resilience.
Oxidative Damage Test
Everyday life produces a certain level of oxidative stress, sometimes described as the body’s “wear and tear.” The oxidative damage test shows how well your body is coping with these pressures and can highlight patterns that may be contributing to:
- Fatigue or slower recovery from daily stress
- Brain fog or difficulty focusing
- Tiredness despite adequate rest
- General feelings of being “rundown”
These insights guide us toward supporting your body’s detox and antioxidant systems, helping you feel stronger, clearer, and more balanced.
MRT Diet: Personalised Metabolic Suport (Optional)
For clients on the SIGNATURE and CONCIERGE package, the MRT diet test identifies your unique metabolic type — how your body processes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. This can uncover patterns linked to:
- Low or uneven energy throughout the day
- Cravings or food-related mood fluctuations
- Difficulty maintaining balance after meals
- Nervous system or hormonal stress related to metabolism
With this information, we can create a nutrition plan that is truly tailored to your body, supporting steady energy, mood, and overall balance.
How the Testing Works
All tests are ordered through your practitioner and delivered to your home. Each kit includes simple, step-by-step instructions, so you can collect samples comfortably in your own space.
These tests are not about labelling or diagnosing. They’re about seeing the patterns behind your symptoms, giving us the clarity to make small, personalised changes that have a meaningful impact on your day-to-day wellbeing.
A Gentle, Informed Way Forward
Functional lab testing helps you understand your body without guessing. By uncovering hidden stressors, we can focus on practical, personalised strategies that support digestion, energy, hormones, immunity, and overall vitality, all at a pace that feels calm, grounded, and manageable.
