Functional testing
Solutions that actually work
Are you tired of the endless cycle of skincare products, prescriptions, and treatments that promise to clear your skin but deliver minimal results?
Have you visited countless doctors only to be told that everything appears “normal,” yet your symptoms persist?
I know how infuriating it is to be in this position because I’ve been there myself. But I’m here to tell you that there is a reason why you have the symptoms you do, you just haven’t found out what it is, yet.
Private testing can give you all the answers you need, so you don’t feel like you’re going crazy because everything is coming back normal – but you still have symptoms.
Finding the cause of your imbalances allows you to pinpoint where to focus, and so that you can heal your skin from the inside, out.
The frustration ends here
Traditional tests from your doctor may provide a broad overview, but they often miss crucial details that could be the key to solving your skin concerns. As an example, a hormone panel may show that you have high testosterone – but what’s causing that high testosterone? Is it blood glucose issues, stress, thyroid issues, nutrient deficiencies or inflammation? Who knows! You won’t know because they didn’t test everything.
That’s where private, functional tests are great because they look into all the possible causes so that you can identify underlying issues that might be responsible for your persistent symptoms.
Let’s start working with your body, not against it
I’m a huge believer in personalised nutrition, and private testing will highlight why. We could test 50 people with acne, and everyone will have different underlying imbalances. Because although we may all have the same skin condition, we all have a unique genetic make-up.
One person may struggle with thyroid issues, which are affecting their sex hormones and skin health. While the other person is actually struggling with an overgrowth of bacteria, affecting how well their body absorbs nutrients for skin and hormone health.
This is why all the generic advice of taking magnesium, zinc and probiotics hasn’t worked for you yet – because you don’t even know if you need those supplements.
Testing empowers you with personalised insights, enabling you to make informed decisions about lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and targeted interventions that actually work for your body.
These are some of the tests we can do
Blood Tests £279 – £330
Blood tests help rule out quite literally every possible cause of your symptoms. We can check your blood glucose, hormones, inflammation, stress levels, cardiovascular health, vitamins & minerals, liver function and thyroid health. This is a great one to help reduce the risk of other conditions in the future too (like heart disease).
Price range is due to markers tested. Add on’s are available at additional costs.
Hormone Tests – Urine (DUTCH) £220.15
A non-invasive, super easy test to do that gives you a huge insight into your hormonal health. If you’ve had hormone tests before that came back as ‘normal’ but you still have all the symptoms – this gives you all the detail you need to really check them.
A good test for anyone struggling with hormonal symptoms, fatigue, stubborn weight gain, insomnia and mood changes.
Stool (Gut) Test – £276-£379
A healthy gut is the foundation to overall well-being, and it’s a little more complex than just taking a probiotic to solve all your issues. An in-depth stool test looks at bad bacteria, beneficial bacteria, how well you digest and absorb nutrients, inflammation within the gut, leaky gut and more. The stool test is done at home and sent off in the post – another easy test to do. Incredibly useful for people with IBS, IBD, Coeliac disease and skin conditions.
The price range is due to the add-ons and different tests available.
Genova Metabolomix+ (Urine) – £305
This is a urine test that looks into any need for antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, digestive support, fatty acids, and amino acids. It’s a great one if you have gut symptoms, fatigue, mood changes and suspected nutrient deficiencies.
Also a great alternative to a blood test if it’s difficult to get blood drawn, or you’re not great with needles.
