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.
