Optimising Health and Reducing Risks
Not all health care needs to be REactive. Take a proactive approach to your health and ensure you’re looking after yourself in the best way possible. Do you have conditions in your family you believe put you at a higher genetic risk? We will look at your diet, exercise, sleep patterns, and more to ensure you’re on a path to healthy aging and reducing risks of chronic health issues.

Functional Testing
We use a range of functional lab testing when needed to help get to the root cause of health concerns or to further understand what is contributing to your health condition. Tests include stool, blood, saliva, urine, and more. Many of these tests can be sent to and complete from your home.
We use several different reputable labs in the UK, USA, and Europe. Some of the tests I do include (but are not limited to):
- Stool testing for gut health, digestion, infection, and microbiome analysis
- Comprehensive blood tests
- Food intolerance testing
- Nutrigenomics DNA analysis
- Thyroid analysis
- DUTCH hormone testing
A thorough health assessment will be made and testing will be recommended and discussed when appropriate.
