Testing
I offer a full range of testing. If you would like to discuss testing with me, please message me or book a 15 minute free call here.
For the majority of clients, we can often achieve a good amount of progress without testing. It can be more cost-effective to leave testing until further down the line when we can see if we need it - and where specifically it’s needed.
However there are some exceptions to this, some of which I mention below, so please get in touch if you’d like to discuss it.
I’ve outlined the most common tests below, particularly those that you may wish to consider using before the first session in certain cases.
These are guide prices as they can move around.
Full thyroid panel
This is primarily useful if you know you have hypothyroid / Hashimoto’s, but your doctor is not checking your T3 levels regularly (only TSH and T4).
It is also useful if you have no diagnosis, but have symptoms of low thyroid (fatigue, low mood, slow thoughts / sluggishness, feeling cold, difficulty managing your weight, hormonal / fertility problems, constipation, hair loss) but only your TSH level has been tested so far.
The panel costs £90.
Food intolerances and allergies
There are many types of intolerance and allergy tests and it’s really important to pick the correct one for your case. I usually only use these further down the line if certain symptoms persist. Coeliac testing can be useful, but is usually available via your GP. Please get in touch if you’d like to find out more. Prices range from £130 to £650.
Organic acids test
This is a really useful broad range test for autoimmune clients. It looks at a wide range of areas: microbial health, including candida, moulds and clostridia, detoxification, key nutrients, carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, and neurotransmitter function. It helps us to identify the root cause areas that are driving your autoimmune condition.
Only a urine sample is required so it’s non-invasive. The test costs £315.
Stool tests
A range of stool testing is available, looking at gut microbial health, digestive and immune function. These can be useful for certain symptoms such as unexplained changes in bowel habits, recurrent infections, fatigue, certain nutritional deficiencies and strong reactions to certain foods.
Prices range from £300 to 500.
Hormonal testing
If you have an autoimmune condition, you are more likely struggle with fertility and (peri-)menopause.
The most practical tests tend to be those that look at how your cycle is functioning (fertility and peri-menopause), or your oestrogen and progesterone profile post
