Nutricoach - Diagnostic Tests

Where necessary, specific diagnostic tests will be recommended in order to help ascertain certain suspected conditions or nutritional imbalances – this eliminates any guess-work and assists in pinpointing the root of the problem.

Most tests are non-intrusive, and samples (where applicable) will be sent to renowned scientific laboratories based in the UK. Many laboratories are recognised by health insurance companies, so it may be possible for clients to claim on their policy, via a written referral from their GP.

The tests that can be arranged for you include:

Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis (to assess status of digestive health)

Female & Male Hormone Profiles

Stress Hormone Profiles

Food Intolerance Testing

Allergy Testing

HbA1C Test (to assess Type 2 Diabetes risk)

Osteoporosis Risk Assessment

Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

Urine Thyroid Hormones

Hair Mineral Analysis

Metabolic Profiles

Antibody Profiles (including Candida and Gluten)

Liver Function/Detoxification Profile

Homocysteine Testing

Histamine levels

Essential Fatty Acid Analysis

Urinalysis

If required, test kits can be ordered and delivered to your own home, but for those tests requiring a blood sample (other than a DIY finger-prick sample) you will need the assistance of your GP, practice nurse or other qualified phlebotomist.

Tests are charged separately. Costs vary, depending on the complexity of the test and the laboratory involved.

All test results are sent directly from the laboratory to the Nutritional Therapist, for analysis and interpretation.
