The Importance of Diagnostic Testing in Nutritional Therapy
Understanding your body’s unique needs is fundamental to crafting an effective nutritional plan. Diagnostic testing serves as a valuable tool in this process, enabling us to identify specific factors that may be influencing your health. By pinpointing issues such as food intolerances, hormonal imbalances, or digestive dysfunctions, we can develop targeted strategies to address these concerns.
Comprehensive Range of Diagnostic Tests
I offer an extensive array of diagnostic tests, each designed to uncover different aspects of your health. The most popular tests include:
- Complete Microbiome and Gastrointestinal Health Assessment: This test provides a detailed analysis of your gut flora and seven key gastrointestinal health markers. It can reveal imbalances that may contribute to digestive issues, immune dysfunction, or other health problems. The cost for this comprehensive assessment is £379.
- Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) Breath Test: SIBO can lead to symptoms like bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort. This non-invasive breath test helps detect the presence of excessive bacteria in the small intestine, guiding appropriate interventions. The test is priced at £175.
- Food Intolerance Blood Test: Identifying food intolerances is crucial for alleviating symptoms such as bloating, headaches, or fatigue. This blood test screens for sensitivities to various foods, enabling us to tailor your diet accordingly. Prices start from £120, depending on the number of foods tested.
Seamless Testing Process
To ensure your comfort and convenience, all tests are designed for home administration:
- Test Kit Delivery: Once we’ve determined the appropriate test(s) for your situation, a kit will be dispatched directly to your home.
- Sample Collection: Each kit includes clear, step-by-step instructions. You’ll collect the necessary sample—whether it’s a breath, stool, or blood sample—using the provided materials.
- Sample Return: After collection, you’ll return the sample to the laboratory using the prepaid packaging. Depending on the test, this may be via standard post or courier service.
- Analysis and Results: The laboratory will analyse your sample, and I will receive the results. We’ll then schedule a consultation to discuss the findings and integrate them into your personalised nutrition plan.
Investment in Your Health
Please note that the costs of diagnostic tests are separate from the nutrition consultation fees. Investing in these tests is an investment in your health, providing us with precise information to guide your dietary and lifestyle choices effectively.
