Functional Testing looks at physiological function instead of just looking for the presence of disease markers.

We use a variety of tests to give us a deep insight into the functioning of the body.

Some of the areas we can investigate include:

Genetics
Hormones
Cardiovascular health
Digestive Analysis
Micronutrients
Methylation Status
Neurotransmitters
Toxicity and Detoxifcation

Many of our functional tests can be done in the comfort of your own home.

Bodhigen

BodhGen is our most comprehensive biomarker analysis and includes the following:

• Genetic Testing

  We test for a number of significant  SNP's - Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms / Genetic Variations - that may be affecting your health, wellbeing and the functioning of your body.

• Metabolic Analysis Profile

  Metabolic Analysis assessment of 45 key organic acids relating to vitamin deficiencies, malabsorption, gut dysbiosis, cellular energy and mitochondrial metabolism, neurotransmitter breakdown and toxin exposure & detoxification requirement.

• Amino Acids Analysis
  An analysis of nutritionally essential and non-essential amino acids and intermediary metabolites that show B vitamin requirement, and protein digestion & absorption support requirements.

• Essential & Metabolic Fatty Acids Analysis
  Assessment of Omega 3, 6 and 9 Fatty Acids, Saturated Fatty Acids, Monounsaturated Omega 7 and Trans Fats. It also provides key ratios for understanding cardiovascular risk.

• Elemental Analysis
  Evaluates nutrient status and toxic element exposure.

• Oxidative Stress
  Oxidative Stress biomarkers highlight the body’s current state of oxidative stress and reserve capacity. Markers of oxidative injury assess cell membrane and DNA damage, while direct measurement of glutathione and CoQ10 provide insight into antioxidant reserve available to counter free-radical impact.
