Clinical Testing
- Do you wonder if you have a gut imbalance or infection but you’ve been told its just IBS?
- Perhaps you feel constantly tired and suspect you have nutrient deficiencies?
- Did your gut health symptoms start after foreign travel or suspected food poisoning?
I can help you
When you work with me 1-2-1, you get access to a vast range of clinical health tests by reputable laboratories you can rely on. Clinical tests help assess the underlying causes of any imbalances in your body. This valuable information may help determine a more targeted nutritional plan for you.
Clinical tests include a variety of methods including saliva, stool, blood tests, dried urine, with samples analysed at reputable clinical laboratories.
Some of the laboratory tests I recommend include:
- Comprehensive digestive stool testing which can be helpful when dealing with IBS and leaky gut. £359-£400.
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) can be helpful when there is excessive or chronic bloating. £165.
- Female hormone testing e.g. DUTCH test. A comprehensive hormone test that provides insight into your sex and adrenal hormones, metabolites, and detox pathways. From £286.
- Food intolerance and food allergy testing. Prices vary depending on how many foods you test for. Prices range from £115-£299 for food intolerance testing. This measures IgG antibodies in the blood. A food allergy test is £500 and measures IgG, Complement, IgE, IgG4 + Blocking Potential in the blood.
- Nutrient screening including Vitamin D test, ferritin, and active B12. From £40.
- Adrenal stress test e.g. cortisol and DHEA. From £85.
- Advanced thyroid testing including the following markers: TSH, Free-T4, free T3, total T4, anti-Thyroidperoxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and anti-Thyroglobulin antibodies. Additional add-ons include: Iodine, Bromine, Selenium, Arsenic, Mercury, Cadmium, Creatinine. £99-£265.
- Homocysteine £149.
Clinical tests can help to quickly identify the most effective nutritional protocol for you and remove much of the guess work associated with, for example, food elimination diets. And, this can save you time and money in the long-run.
Full Disclosure on Clinical Test Fees
I aim to be as transparent as possible when it comes to test fees. I understand they can be a huge investment!
As these tests can be very detailed and specific, the laboratories provide me with an interpretation fee. This is usually around 10% depending on the lab and is to help cover the time needed prior to consultations to analyse your results.
For example, the GI Map is £400. This price consists of the lab fee £360, and my admin fee £40, which is only 10% of the total cost.
