TESTS
Why do we need to use tests?
In order to correct imbalances we often need to further investigate. For example if you have digestive problems we may need to assess whether you have depleted beneficial gut flora or if there is any yeast present. If you have cardiovascular problems, what is the balance of good and bad cholesterol?
Leading edge laboratories
We also work a with a number of labs offering innovative tests to give a complete understanding of an individual's picture of health. This allows your nutritionist to focus on disease prevention, identifying problems before chronic conditions and disease develop.
A sample of our most commonly used tests:
Allergy and Intolerance testing - IgE, IgG, non-antibody mediated responses.
Hormone Profiles - Female hormones, thyroid, insulin resistance, menopause, PCOS and male hormones.
Nutritional Profiles - Hair mineral analysis for toxic metals, vitamin and mineral profiles.
Adrenal Stress
Digestive analysis
Special Profiles - chronic fatigue, heliobacter pylori (for stomach ulcers), detoxification profile, anaemia
ONE (optimum nutrition evaluation) - A combination of nutritional analysis that measures levels of amino acids, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants as well as organic acid markers of metabolic function, detoxification and dysbiosis. Over time nutritional imbalances can result in a variety of chronic health problems. This profile can help determine functional inadequacies. The profile is offered as part of the bodydoctor Gold Programme.
Costs of individual tests vary from £30 to approximately £300. Details are given on price list.
