What is functional testing?

TAKING OUT THE GUESSWORK

Functional testing removes the guesswork of how your body is functioning and establishes or rules out underlying causes of symptoms, getting to the root of the problem. Testing (including tests carried out by your GP) provides me with a snapshot of the current moment. It will not diagnose a condition; however, testing can be useful when time is limited, to rule out potential diseases and provide a baseline measure to understand progress through interventions.

​

Functional tests are carried out by professional industry-recognized laboratories through me and are analyzed using saliva, blood, urine, or stool samples. During your consultations, I can determine whether or not we need to carry out any functional testing for you, and I recommend this as part of your plan.
