Functional Hormone Testing

Functional diagnostic testing refers to a group of tests that aim to assess the underlying causes of symptoms and health issues by looking at how well different bodily systems are functioning. Functional hormone testing is a method of evaluating hormone levels in the body to assess how well the endocrine system is functioning, rather than just measuring whether hormones are within a “normal” range. The goal is to identify any hormonal imbalances and to create personalised treatment plans based on the test results that focus on re-balancing these hormones to improve your health.

​

As  Nutritional Therapist, I have access to a number of companies and laboratories that provide high quality, comprehensive hormone testing. I am trained to interpret the results of these tests to identify any abnormalities as well as understanding what impact these have on the female body. 

The functional testing I offer is quick, simple and easy. You will receive your personalised testing kit and can complete the test from the comfort of your own home. Simply take your sample, post it to the laboratory and receive your results in a few days.

I offer the following functional testing:

​

PCOS Blood Testing
A comprehensive blood test designed to look at the markers that are known to cause PCOS. This test can help us to identify whether you might have PCOS and what your root cause may be. From here we can build an effective, personalised programme to help you find relief from symptoms.

Female Hormone Test Profile 

A hormone test designed to assess the levels of essential hormones in women's bodies. This test aims to identify any hormonal imbalances contributing to symptoms or health concerns. 

​

Fertility Testing

Fertility testing can provide key insights into the functioning of our reproductive health and ovarian reserve (egg count). There are a whole range of different hormones that work hard to regulate the menstrual cycle and ovulation. If just one becomes imbalanced, it can throw the whole system off. 

​

Pregnancy Nutrition Testing

Pregnancy nutrient testing can help identify if you're getting the right amount of nutrients to support your pregnancy and your baby's development. This test can also help you avoid iron deficiency.
