Our Lab Overview – What They Are and Why They Can Help

When it comes to health, most of us have been told at some point that our test results are “normal,” even though we still don’t feel like ourselves. Maybe you’ve experienced ongoing fatigue, bloating, brain fog, mood swings, or stubborn weight changes without ever getting clear answers. It can be frustrating and disheartening to know something isn’t right but not have the evidence to back it up. This is where functional lab testing can make such a difference.

Rather than focusing only on whether results fall into a “normal” range, these tests look deeper, pinpointing imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal shifts, and hidden stressors that may be holding you back. They’re not about labelling you with a diagnosis; they’re about giving you insights into how your body is truly functioning so that you can take meaningful steps towards better health.

Our aim is to take the mystery out of your symptoms by offering a range of carefully chosen lab tests. Each one is designed to shine a light on a different area of wellbeing, from hormones and gut health to toxins and metabolism. By combining these insights with personalised recommendations, we help turn confusing results into a clear plan for feeling your best.

Organic Acid Test

The Organic Acid Test takes a close look at how your body is working on a cellular level. It checks vitamin and amino acid status, neurotransmitter activity, and energy production. This test is often helpful if you’ve been feeling tired, experiencing mood changes, or struggling with digestion. Once you have the results, you can make simple but powerful changes to your nutrition and lifestyle to get things back in balance. 

DUTCH Test

Hormones affect everything from energy and sleep to mood and metabolism. The DUTCH Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) gives you a detailed picture of your hormone levels, including cortisol patterns throughout the day. If you’ve been dealing with mood swings, hot flushes, poor sleep or fatigue, this test can help uncover the ‘why’ and point you towards the right strategies to bring your hormones back into harmony.

Introductory Kit

The Introductory Kit is a great starting point if you’re not sure where to begin. It includes an organic acid test and a hair analysis, providing insight into gut health, nutrient deficiencies, metabolism, detox capacity, and long-term mineral and heavy metal exposure. Together, they offer a broad overview of your health so you can start making changes with confidence.

Mycotoxin Test

Mould exposure can sometimes go unnoticed, but the toxins it produces (called mycotoxins) can leave a big impact on your health; draining your energy, affecting your immune system and even clouding your focus. The Mycotoxin Test highlights if these toxins are present, so you can take safe and effective steps to support your body’s natural detox pathways and protect your long-term health.

Comprehensive Stool Test

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that influence digestion, immunity, and even mood. The Comprehensive Stool Test explores the balance of good and bad microbes, how well you’re breaking down and absorbing food, and whether inflammation is present. With this information, you can rebuild a stronger, healthier gut using the right combination of nutrition, probiotics, and lifestyle shifts.

Food Sensitivity Test

If you often feel bloated, tired, or notice skin flare-ups without knowing why, food sensitivities could be playing a role. This Food Sensitivity Test checks how your immune system reacts to a wide variety of foods, helping you spot the hidden triggers. With the results, you can follow a gentle elimination and reintroduction process that helps calm symptoms while keeping your diet enjoyable and nourishing.

Hair Toxic & Essential Elements Test

Hair holds long-term clues about your health. This Hair Toxic & Essential Elements Test looks at your levels of essential minerals, like magnesium and zinc, while also flagging heavy metals that may be slowing you down. By spotting deficiencies or toxin build-ups, you can make targeted tweaks, whether that’s adding in missing nutrients or gently supporting detoxification.

Metabolism Test

If you feel like your energy doesn’t match your effort (or if weight changes don’t seem to make sense), the Metabolism Test could be really eye-opening. It measures how efficiently your body burns energy, giving you practical information you can use to adjust your nutrition and lifestyle in a way that supports your metabolism, without extreme restrictions.

Inflammation Test

Inflammation is the body’s natural defence, but when it lingers at a low level it can lead to fatigue, brain fog, aches, or longer-term health issues. This Inflammation Test measures markers of inflammation in your blood, showing whether your body is in a state of simmer. From there, you can use food, movement, and stress management techniques to gently cool things down and feel more balanced.

Gut Health Starter Bundle Kit

This bundle is designed for anyone struggling with ongoing digestive discomfort, bloating, brain fog or low energy. The Gut Health Starter Bundle Kit combines a stool test and an organic acid test to give a clear picture of your gut microbiome, digestion, inflammation, nutrient status and detox pathways. With these results, you’ll gain practical steps to restore balance and support your overall wellbeing.

Why These Tests Can Make Such a Difference

The beauty of lab testing is that it gives you clarity. Instead of guessing why you’re feeling a certain way, you get clear answers that point you in the right direction. Each test is like a piece of the puzzle, helping you see the bigger picture of your health.

With the results, you’re not left to figure things out alone. They’re translated into clear, practical steps that work for your lifestyle, whether that’s tweaking your nutrition, adding in supplements, focusing on sleep, or supporting stress resilience. Everything is designed to be manageable and realistic, so you can take action without feeling overwhelmed.

There’s also flexibility. You might prefer to start small with one area, like gut health, or you may want a more complete picture by combining a few tests. And if you’re unsure where to begin, our Free Lab Selection Call is a simple way to find out which test is best for you.
