Functional Testing
Functional Testing is used by many practitioners as it provides a snapshot of your current health status. It provides valuable information on how optimally your body is functioning and can confirm or rule out suspected ROOT causes of many symptoms. It offers a baseline from which we can measure your progress. Whilst it is not our job to diagnose, we can rule out potential disease.
The tests used at Complete Health Solutions are measured via saliva, blood, urine, breath or stool samples and are analysed by professional, recognised laboratories in the UK.
Gut Health
GI Effects Comprehensive Test
Collection Method: Stool sample
The GI Effects Comprehensive Stool Profile provides information for the management of gastrointestinal health. Utilising cutting-edge technologies and biomarkers, this test offers valuable insight into:
- Digestive function
- Absorption of nutrients
- Intestinal Inflammation and Immune status
- Microbiome Analysis
This test would be appropriate for people experiencing:
- Bloating
- Constipation &/or Diarrhoea
- Abdominal pain & Cramping (esp. after eating)
- Acid Reflux
- Long-term antibiotic use
Overall Health
Organic Acids Test (OAT)
Collection Method: Urine
The Organic Acids Test is a nutrition test that offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with 76 markers. The test examines metabolites (chemical substances produced by your metabolism) that are coming out with, and in, your urine. These metabolites can give clues about the efficiency (or lack of) of your internal cellular processes, as well as gut microbes. It gives clues if we have a blockage, nutritional insufficiencies, and/or bacterial overgrowth.
Organic Acids testing is effective for patient concerns such as:
- Mood Disorders
- Mitochondrial Dysfunction
- Fatigue
- Chronic Stress
- Inflammation
Several diseases are associated with abnormal organic acid levels such as depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, neurocognitive decline, diabetes, cancer and many others.
DUTCH test
Collection Method: Urine
DUTCH Complete offers an extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones and six organic acids to help identify the root causes of hormone imbalances in men and women. It can provide insights into conditions such as:
- Menopause
- PCOS
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Low libido
- Premenstrual Syndrome
- Mood swings & Mood disorders
- Sleep issues
- Prostate issues in men
Advanced Blood Analysis
Collection Method: Blood Draw
The FDX Ultra offers an in-depth, comprehensive analysis of:
- Vitamin & Mineral
- Thyroid
- Cardiovascular
- Inflammation
- Kidney function
- Protein
- Iron
- Blood sugars
- Liver
- Gallbladder status
It also includes a full series of hormones and sex hormones and prostate assessment.
These serve as important tools in the evaluation of several systems including immune, liver, prostate, male and female hormones, fertility, bone health and glycaemic management.
The Advanced Blood Analysis is suitable for those who are:
- Fatigued
- Low energy
- Low immunity
- Determine vitamin &/or mineral status
- Feeling ‘off’ and want answers
- Full MOT
- Determine root cause
- Have long-term chronic symptoms or have existing diagnosis/conditions
Stress
Adrenal Stress Profile
Collection Method: Saliva
The Adrenal Stress Profile provides an assessment of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis by monitoring the hormones cortisol and DHEA.
Daily hassles, chronic pain, blood sugar dysregulation, work stressors, and poor relationship quality can alter the HPA axis. Imbalances in adrenal hormones can have a wide range of negative consequences that can adversely impact a patient's overall quality of life. The symptoms of HPA axis dysfunction can be vague, and are highly variable, but may include:
- Fatigue
- Insomnia
- Weight gain
- Depression
- GI complaints
- Chronic pain
HPA axis dysfunction is associated with many conditions including:
- Hypertension
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Gastrointestinal and Immune Dysregulation
- Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome
- Depression
- Chronic Fatigue
- Persistent pain
- Burnout
- Neurodegenerative disease and Cognitive decline
Adrenal Stress Profile testing can reveal these HPA axis imbalances and provide direction for clinical intervention with targeted therapeutic treatments, such as nutrient support and/or adaptogens, stress management, behavioural modification, and lifestyle interventions.
