How Can The Silver Nutritionist Help?
I use functional testing to not only uncover the root causes of my clients’ health concerns and symptoms, but also provide valuable insights into their overall wellness. By doing so, I am able to tailor nutrition and lifestyle strategies that improve digestion, balance hormones, boost energy, and enhance well-being.
How We Use Functional Tests in Our Practice
Functional tests can provide powerful insights into your health, but they can also be costly. That’s why we work closely with each client to recommend only the most relevant tests based on their specific health concerns. Some of the most commonly used functional tests include:
- Comprehensive Stool Analysis – Evaluates gut microbiome balance, digestion, inflammation, and presence of pathogens; helps address gut issues.
- Food Sensitivity Testing – Identifies immune responses to specific foods; useful for individuals experiencing unexplained digestive discomfort, fatigue, and skin conditions.
- Hormone Testing – Assesses hormone balance, including cortisol, oestrogen, testosterone, and progesterone; helpful in stress management, fatigue, weight gain, and reproductive health.
- Micronutrient Testing – Measures levels of essential vitamins and minerals in the body; identifies deficiencies that may be impacting energy levels, immunity and wellbeing.
- Genetic Testing for Nutrigenomics – Analyses how genes affect nutrient metabolism and health risks; helps in personalising diet and lifestyle recommendations based on genetic predispositions.
