Personalized care for your health and wellbeing

Functional Health Medicine takes a personalized approach to understanding your health by looking beyond individual symptoms and considering the different factors that may influence your overall wellbeing.

Your practitioner takes time to understand your health history, lifestyle, symptoms and individual needs.

Where appropriate, additional assessments and testing may be recommended to provide further information and help guide an individualized approach to your care.

The aim is to work with you to better understand your health and support practical, personalized steps towards improved wellbeing.

Live Blood Analysis is a complementary assessment that involves viewing a small sample of blood under a specialised microscope.

The practitioner observes the appearance and characteristics of the blood and discusses the findings with you as part of a broader understanding of your health. It may be used alongside your health history, symptoms and other assessments to provide additional information.

Live Blood Analysis is not intended to replace conventional medical testing or diagnosis, but can form part of a complementary approach to understanding your individual health.

Iridology is a complementary assessment involving the observation of the patterns, colours and characteristics of the iris of the eye.

During an iridology assessment, the practitioner examines the iris and discusses their observations with you. These observations may be considered alongside your health history, symptoms and other assessments as part of a broader, individualized approach to your wellbeing.

Iridology is used as a complementary assessment and is not intended to replace medical diagnosis or conventional clinical testing.

We offer a range of health assessments and point-of-care tests that can provide additional information about your current health.

Depending on your individual needs, testing may include:

• Hemoglobin
• D-dimer
• PSA
• Cholesterol
• Glucose
• Urine testing
• TSH
• Blood type

Your practitioner will advise which assessments or tests may be appropriate for you based on your individual circumstances. Results can provide additional information to support your consultation and, where necessary, guide further investigation or referral.

Testing availability may vary between our practices, so please contact reception if you would like to enquire about a specific test.

We offer selected injections and supportive treatments as part of our range of practitioner-guided services.

These include B12 injections and Heel Range injections, where appropriate following consultation with a practitioner.

Your practitioner will discuss the treatment with you and determine whether it is suitable for your individual needs. 

Our team can also provide information about the available treatment options and assist with arranging your appointment.

Our on-site medication dispensary provides convenient access to practitioner-recommended medications and health products following your consultation.

Your DNA contains unique information that can provide insights into how your body may respond to different nutritional, lifestyle and health factors. 

Through DNAlysis, a range of genetic tests are available, covering areas such as nutrition, weight management, exercise, medication response, hormones, pain, skin health and other individual health priorities. 

The testing process involves collecting a DNA sample using a supplied collection kit, which is then analyzed by the laboratory. The results are provided to your healthcare practitioner, who can discuss the findings with you and help translate the information into practical, personalized recommendations. 

The appropriate DNA test will depend on your individual health goals and circumstances, and your practitioner can help guide you towards the most suitable option.

Organic acids and amino acids play important roles in the body’s metabolic processes, including energy production, nutrient utilisation and other cellular functions. Urine testing can provide a snapshot of these metabolic pathways and may help identify patterns that warrant further consideration. 

Organic Acid Testing looks at a range of metabolic intermediates and can provide information relating to areas such as metabolism, nutritional factors and gut function. Amino Acid Testing measures levels of individual amino acids and may provide additional information about amino acid metabolism and the nutrients involved in these processes. 

The testing is practitioner-guided. If recommended, your healthcare practitioner will arrange the required test and explain the collection process. Once the sample has been analysed, the results are returned to the practitioner for interpretation and discussion with you. Biometrix currently indicates a typical turnaround time of approximately 2–3 weeks.
