Functional testing and analysis are deep dive health assessment tools that allow us to read between the lines of the conventional model, where only "normal" or "disease" exist.
In contrast, functional pathology considers health as a sliding scale ranging from the peak of optimal functionality, to subclinical imbalances and warning signs, to clinically diagnosable disease.
Through advanced and targeted testing of biochemistry nutritional markers metabolism, hormones, or gut function—drawing from samples like saliva, urine, stool, blood, breath, or hair—we uncover precise, individualised insights into what is truly happening in your body.
This paves the way for personalised, effective treatments to shift you back on the path toward optimal wellbeing.
My blog explains functional pathology in much more detail,
to help you understand exactly how it can work for you.
In functional pathology, we reinterpret common blood tests using optimal ranges, not just the refrence ranges. We combine this with marker cross-referencing, to spot imbalances early. This service is perfect if you've already had GP bloodwork but still feel unwell. Analysis from a funtional perspective can reveal key indicators driving your symptoms.
Upload your recent GP results—such as Full Blood Count (FBC), Liver Function Tests (LFT), Electrolytes (UEC), Lipid Profile, Iron Studies and TSH. They'll be analysed them through a functional lens and you will be provided with a full report. These baseline tests often uncover subclinical indicators that standard interpretations miss, and gives us an excellent starting point for figuring out your personal health puzzle.
Based on your clinical symptoms and the anslysis of any existing test results, we can then order any missing gaps in base tests to build a more comprehensive picture with routine markers. Common examples include Vitamin D, B12 and Folate.
Many GP thyroid tests stop at TSH, leaving conversion issues or autoimmunity undetected. This panel includes free T3/T4, reverse T3, and autoantibodies. Integral for understanding the true functionality of your thyroid.
Nutritional testing assesses vitamin, mineral, and metabolic function at a cellular level to identify deficiencies or blocks causing low energy, poor recovery, or chronic fatigue. This is essential if you feel depleted despite a good diet, or struggle with immunity and vitality.
This comprehensive blood and urine panel evaluates vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, and metabolic markers in one convenient draw. It uncovers hidden gaps driving tiredness or slow healing, so you can replenish exactly what your body needs for sustained energy and resilience.
Persistent fatigue or brain fog? This urine test analyses 63 organic acids linked to energy production, nutrient use, detoxification, and microbiome health. It highlights cellular inefficiencies standard tests overlook, providing a roadmap to boost metabolism and mental clarity.
Environmental testing detects heavy metals, mould toxins, and mineral imbalances that quietly burden detoxification. Relevant if unexplained fatigue, brain fog, or neurological symptoms persist.
This non-invasive hair test assesses long-term mineral ratios and heavy metal exposure. It uncovers imbalances affecting energy, hormones, and detox, so you can gently rebalance and feel clearer and stronger.
Suspected toxin load from environment or past exposure? These urine tests reveal stored burdens like mercury or mould toxins, supporting safe detoxification for renewed mental sharpness and vitality.
Functional gut testing examines your microbiome, digestion, absorption, and inflammatory markers to reveal why you might be experiencing bloating, irregular bowels, food reactions, or even low energy and mood issues linked to the gut-brain axis. This category is ideal if everyday digestion feels off, or if chronic symptoms like IBS, fatigue, or skin problems persist despite diet changes.
This comprehensive stool analysis uses advanced technology to quantify beneficial and pathogenic bacteria, parasites, yeast, and key markers like calprotectin and zonulin. It gives you a clear picture of dysbiosis or leaky gut driving your symptoms, so you can rebuild a healthy microbiome and enjoy comfortable digestion, stronger immunity, and better overall wellbeing.
For broader digestive concerns, this multi-level stool test assesses beneficial flora, pathogens, digestion efficiency, and inflammation. It's particularly helpful when multiple gut issues overlap, providing actionable insights to heal the gut lining and improve nutrient absorption.
If meals leave you bloated, gassy, or uncomfortably full, this non-invasive home breath test detects bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine through hydrogen and methane levels.
These tests identify delayed immune reactions to foods that fuel low-grade inflammation, often behind skin issues, digestive upset, or fatigue. Ideal if symptoms flare unpredictably after eating, or elimination diets haven't fully resolved things.
This finger-prick blood spot test screens common foods for delayed IgG reactions causing chronic inflammation. You'll discover hidden triggers like dairy or gluten, enabling a targeted elimination plan for clearer skin, reduced bloating, and steady energy.
ALCAT Intolerance Testing uncovers cellular reactions to foods, chemicals, and additives that may trigger chronic inflammation, migraines, skin issues, or fatigue—often missed by standard IgG/IgE tests. This comprehensive blood-based panel assesses up to 200 items, providing a clear profile of sensitivities for precise elimination strategies.
Hormone testing in functional medicine measures free, bioactive levels and daily patterns to understand imbalances affecting cycles, mood, energy, libido, and stress response. This category is valuable if you're navigating perimenopause, PCOS, fertility challenges, burnout, or unexplained weight changes.
This series of dried urine strips tracks estrogens, progestogens, androgens, endocrine disruptors, glucocorticoids such as cortisol, melatonin, creatinine and multiple organic acids. 67 markers all up. It reveals issues like estrogen dominance, poor hormone clearance, or adrenal issues. Empowering you to naturally rebalance cycles, mood, energy and metabolism.
Feeling wired yet tired, with poor sleep or low resilience? This simple at-home saliva collection maps your cortisol and DHEA rhythm across four points, highlighting adrenal fatigue stages. You'll gain clarity on stress impacts and targeted support to restore calm energy and restful nights.
Functional mental health testing explores neurotransmitter pathways, oxidative stress, and nutrient cofactors influencing mood, focus, and resilience. This category helps if anxiety, low motivation, or brain fog impacts daily life.
When motivation wanes or overwhelm feels constant, this urine test measures dopamine, serotonin, and adrenaline turnover. It reveals imbalances affecting mood and cognition, guiding natural support for brighter outlook and sharper focus.
Linking metabolism to mood, this test examines pathways for serotonin, dopamine, and stress damage. You'll address root nutrient or detox issues for emotional steadiness and cognitive performance.
Genetic testing provides lifelong blueprints for how your body processes nutrients, hormones, and stress. Perfect for proactive health optimisation or family history concerns.
Analysing dozens of genes for digestion, detoxification, inflammation, and more, this swab test tailors nutrition and lifestyle to your DNA. You'll prevent future issues and enhance performance with truly personalised strategies.
Methylation variants impact detox, mood, and energy for many. This simple test identifies key SNPs, allowing methylated nutrient support for better systemic balance and mental clarity.
Advanced cardiovascular testing evaluates particle risks and inflammation beyond standard cholesterol. Useful with family history or lifestyle concerns.
Including LDL subfractions, oxidised LDL, and lipoprotein(a).
This panel detects hidden risks early. You'll optimise fats and reduce inflammation for confident heart protection and longevity.
