In recognizing that each person has a unique and individual body ecosystem that is affected by genetic, environmental, and psychological factors, practitioners commonly use specific lab tests to gain a better insight and understanding of what is going on in your body’s ecosystem. 

Laboratory testing can include blood, urine, stool, saliva or hair samples to provide information about a variety of systems including gastrointestinal, metabolic, endocrine, hormonal, immune, detoxification, genetic and others, as well as nutritional status and allergic sensitivities.

Often, small imbalances or dysfunctions build up and have a profound effect in the body, surfacing in a myriad of symptoms and leaving us vulnerable to further deteriorating health. Having the ability to test for imbalances and potential triggers can prove invaluable to creating the most targeted, individualised and effective therapeutic strategy whilst also offering an understanding of what factors contributed to ill health, thus providing the perspective on how to prevent recurrence and exacerbations in the future.
