Functional Health Testing: The Missing Link in Women’s Wellness
Have you ever been told, “Your bloodwork looks normal,” but you still feel tired, bloated, moody, or not quite like yourself?
If so, you’re not alone—and you're not imagining things.
For many women, standard medical tests fail to uncover the deeper imbalances driving hormonal issues, fatigue, digestive problems, or cycle irregularities. That’s where functional health testing comes in—a powerful tool that helps us see what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Why Functional Testing Is So Important for Women
Women’s bodies are dynamic. Hormones shift weekly (not just monthly!), and factors like stress, birth control, trauma, perimenopause, and gut health can all affect your wellbeing in complex ways.
Symptoms like:
Irregular or painful periods
PMS, bloating, or mood swings
Hair loss or acne
Fatigue or insomnia
Fertility struggles
Brain fog
Low libido
Anxiety or depression
…are often signs that something deeper is out of balance—and functional testing helps us decode those signals.
Common Functional Tests I Use in Clinic
As a Women’s Health Nutritionist, I offer a variety of functional tests depending on your needs:
DUTCH Hormone Test
Offers a complete picture of your sex and stress hormones
Helps identify estrogen dominance, low progesterone, poor hormone detox, or adrenal fatigue
Comprehensive Blood Chemistry
Looks at nutrient levels, thyroid markers, blood sugar, iron, and more—interpreted functionally, not just "within range"
Organic Acids Test (OAT)
Evaluates cellular function, detox pathways, neurotransmitters, and mitochondrial energy production
Food Sensitivity Panels
Identifies delayed food reactions that may be triggering inflammation or symptoms
The Power of Personalisation
One of the most frustrating parts of modern healthcare is the "one-size-fits-all" approach.
Functional testing allows us to tailor your nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle strategy to your unique biochemistry. No more guessing. No more chasing symptoms. Just clarity, confidence, and real progress.

It’s ideal for women who:
Are struggling with unresolved symptoms despite a “normal” diagnosis
Want to address hormonal imbalances naturally
Are trying to conceive or support postpartum recovery
Are in perimenopause or menopause and want to thrive through it
