FUNCTIONAL MEDICAL TESTING
We use the following functional tests to help us better understand what is happening on a molecular level inside the body. Unfortunately, these tests are not subsidised by the government nor do we have the facilities in Australia or New Zealand to analyse such tests and most have to be sent to the US. This is reflected in the costs for each test (no mark-up is added), but they can provide invaluable information into what is needed for your health journey.
