When we think of the support we get from a Nutritionist, we tend to just think of advice on food.
However, testing is a great diagnostic tool that I use frequently in my practice.
For example, blood tests to check levels of vitamin D, ferritin, active B12, cholesterol, homocysteine, the list goes on…
Then there are stool tests to determine overall gut function – what are your inflammatory levels, the ratio of good to bad bacteria, are there parasites present?
Food intolerance tests – are there certain foods that you are reacting to? Then when removed, the symptoms reduce and healing can begin.
Hormone urine testing to assess hormonal imbalances of oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA.
Saliva tests to measure adrenal metabolites – a good indicator of stress levels…
