State of the Art Testing

GUT HEALTH

NUTRITIONAL ADEQUACY

NUTRITIONAL ADEQUACY

Detailed stool testing doesn't just look at the gut flora (microbiome) but allows us to be sure your child is digesting food properly (critical for them to be getting the most out of their diet) plus it tests markers of inflammation and immunity.

NUTRITIONAL ADEQUACY

NUTRITIONAL ADEQUACY

NUTRITIONAL ADEQUACY

We use a combination of tests to establish if your child is lacking in vitamins, minerals and cofactors. A simple urine test can offer a wealth of information on hundreds of metabolic processes which require these nutrients for energy production, neurotransmitter production and more.

FOOD SENSITIVITIES

NUTRITIONAL ADEQUACY

FOOD SENSITIVITIES

Foods are a large part of our environmental exposures. Understanding which foods trigger immune dysregulation and symptoms in your child can be an important piece of the puzzle to enable optimal gut and immune health.

GENOMICS

TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

FOOD SENSITIVITIES

Blanket genetic testing is like looking for a needle in a haystack but targeted genomic testing using validated pathway testing can give us invaluable information to help us target specific nutritional needs and enhance protective chemical reactions within the body.

TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

Exposure to pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, farming chemicals or petrochemicals contribute to maternal and child high toxic load. These chemicals interfere with the normal chemistry of the body and if your child lacks the ability to detoxify, this can lead to poor function and behaviour, symptoms and then disease. We can test for all of these toxins and establish how well your child is able to remove them from their body.

VITAMIN D STATUS

TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

Each child's Vitamin D requirement is unique because genomic factors affect the production, conversion and effect of Vitamin D in the body. Vitamin D can only come from sunlight exposure and because we are bombarded with safe sun messages, children are not getting the exposure they need.

Vitamin D is vital for the function of the immune system, gut, vascular system and skeletal development. This is why we offer our simple blood spot test to remove the guess work.

Functional Testing Price List

Most children require:

Comprehensive Stool Analysis with parasitology

$535.00

State of the art stool microbiology, parasitology using MALDI-TOF technology giving the most accurate picture of your microbiome plus digestive capacity and inflammatory biomarkers. 

Urinary Organic Acid Analysis

$327.00

The metabolic products of energy pathways, methylation, detoxification and gut metabolism give an assessment of nutritional adequacy and mitochondrial function. Can be done at home.

Vitamin D bloodspot

$67.50

Vitamin D is a master-regulator of the immune system. Without adequate levels, disordered inflammation and immune dysfunction are unrestrained. Can be done at home.


Some children will also require:

GPL Toxin Screen plus Glyphosate

$346

Identifies organic pollutants. Can be added to the organic acid analysis, using the same sample.

Red cell elements

$316

Identifies heavy metals and quantifies essential elements. Needs a blood draw.

Genomic analysis - methylation & detox panel

$349

Identifies variants which affect inflammation, methylation, nutrient metabolism and detoxification. Allows nutritional work-arounds to optimise physiology.

Complete thyroid panel

$145

Standard tests only include T4 and TSH. This looks at free and total T4 & T3, RT3, TSH, thyroid antibodies giving a complete evaluation. Requires a blood draw.
