Functional medicine testing
Treating the root cause of a poor metabolism
Treating the root cause of a poor metabolism involves a comprehensive approach that goes beyond conventional calorie counting. At our practice, we focus on uncovering factors such as hormonal imbalances and nutrient deficiencies which could be affecting your body’s ability to lose weight alongside lifestyle and emotional factors.
This usually requires functional and pathology testing to investigate the driving factors contributing to poor metabolism as recommended by your practitioner which may be:
- Insulin resistance
- Poor thyroid function
- Gut dysbiosis
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Cortisol imbalances
- Female reproductive hormone imbalances
All pathology test kits will be conveniently delivered to your door step, allowing you to collect the sample in the comfort of your own home which is then express posted to the lab.
The test results will come straight to your practitioner where they will discuss your results in detail at your next consultation.
Functional Medicine Testing and Pricing
Co Biome Microbiome Testing
The gut microbiome, consisting of trillions of bacteria, plays a crucial role in weight loss and metabolism. These bacteria help digest food, produce essential nutrients, and regulate energy balance. A healthy gut microbiome improves digestion, reduces inflammation, and enhances metabolic function, aiding in weight management. Conversely, an imbalanced microbiome can lead to weight gain, insulin resistance, and slower metabolism, making weight loss more challenging. If you experience digestive issues alongside weight loss concerns, a microbiome test may be recommended.
Cost: $520
Comprehensive Thyroid Testing
Have you been experiencing signs of thyroid dysfunction such as weight gain, cold hands and feet, constipation, or hair loss but your blood test keeps coming back normal? This is often because doctors will only test TSH and not test all thyroid hormones, so we’re unable to see the full picture.
It’s not uncommon for T4 (thyroxine) or T3 (active thyroid hormone) to be low, or thyroid antibodies to be elevated long before TSH goes outside of the normal range.
That’s where comprehensive testing can be really beneficial in catching subclinical hypothyroidsm early, before it becomes a bigger problem.
A full thyroid panel includes TSH, T4, T3, reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies. This is referred to a local Australian lab.
Cost: $160
Cortisol Awakening Response
Cortisol, known as the stress hormone, can contribute to weight gain by increasing appetite and promoting fat storage, particularly around the abdomen. Chronic stress leads to elevated cortisol levels, which can also disrupt sleep and metabolism, further contributing to weight gain.
A Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) test measures cortisol levels shortly after waking, providing insights into the body’s stress response and adrenal health. This test can help identify abnormal cortisol patterns, allowing for targeted interventions to manage stress and support weight loss efforts.
Cost: $150
Dutch Hormone Testing
Reproductive hormone imbalances such as excess oestrogen can lead to weight gain by promoting fat storage, especially around the hips and thighs. It can also affect insulin sensitivity, leading to higher blood sugar levels and increased fat accumulation. Additionally, oestrogen imbalances can disrupt hormones that regulate appetite and energy expenditure, making weight management more difficult.
After your initial assessment it may be recommended to look into your reproductive hormones further as a major contributing factor to your weight gain and slow metabolism.
