Functional Testing & Pathology Referrals/Reviews

Functional testing & pathology referrals/reviews provide a window or deeper look into the biochemical processes happening in your body, offering insights that may not be evident through symptoms alone. I offer a broad range of testing options ranging from basic screenings right through to specialised assessments. I can also review your existing pathology testing results.

I offer the following services through professional, reputable and independent Australian laboratories:

Identifying toxic buildups or deficiencies that could impact your health.
Understanding the balance of gut bacteria, which plays a crucial role in digestion, immunity and overall health.
Assessing gut function and potential imbalances or infections.
Identifying allergens or sensitivities that could be affecting your health.
Checking for hormonal imbalances that may impact your energy, mood and reproductive health.
Assessing genetic variants that can affect folate metabolism, impacting various aspects of health.
Measuring your exposure to chemicals, toxins or pollutants that could affect your health.
Cannot be claimed through Medicare.
Note: Functional and pathology testing is through a private referral and doesn’t attract a Medicare rebate so are at the client’s own expense. These tests are usually recommended (if needed) and integrated into a naturopathic consultation.
Additionally, I can assist with routine blood pressure checks, BMI monitoring and other basic health assessments.
