Health Tests That Uncover Why You Feel Like You’re Falling Apart

My clients come to me exhausted after they've been told everything is fine when they know something is off. Standard bloods often miss the deeper issues causing your bloating and burnout. I use functional testing to bridge that gap and find the answers so you can reclaim your health & peace of mind.

GI Map Stool Analysis

$450 AUD

If you are struggling with bloating, IBS, or food sensitivities, this is the first place I look. It is the most advanced DNA stool analysis available, giving us the clearest picture of your gut health.

Detects parasites, bacterial overgrowth, and fungi that standard tests miss.

Checks specific markers (like Calprotectin) to see if your gut is physically inflamed.

Reveals if your gut microbiome is compromised and reacting to the foods you eat.

DUTCH Hormone Test

$400-500  AUD

Blood tests only capture a single moment in time, which is often useless for hormones. I use the DUTCH test to map your hormone production and cortisol rhythm over a full 24-hour cycle.

Maps your cortisol curve to see why you crash in the afternoon or can't sleep at night.

Shows not just what hormones you make, but how safely your liver is clearing them.

The gold standard for understanding PMS, weight gain, and peri-menopause.

OMX® Metabolic Testing

$475 AUD

Think of this as an emissions test for your body's engine. I use this urine test to measure organic acids, revealing exactly how your cells are producing energy.

Pinpoints exactly where your mitochondria are struggling to produce fuel.

Measures neurotransmitter markers to find the biological root of anxiety or brain fog.

Reveals how well your body is handling environmental toxins and pollutants.

Hair Mineral Analysis

$200-300  AUD

While blood strives for balance, your hair keeps the score. I use this analysis to see a 3-month history of your mineral reserves, which is often the missing piece for chronic fatigue.

Identifies hidden "energy vampires" like Mercury, Lead, or Aluminum stored in your tissues.

Reveals chronic adrenal stress patterns that have built up over months.

Tells us if you are a "Fast" or "Slow" oxidiser so we can tailor your diet perfectly.

SIBO Breath Test

$200-400 AUD

If you look "6 months pregnant" after eating healthy foods like apples or garlic, it is likely not just IBS. I use this breath test to confirm if bacteria have migrated into your small intestine where they don't belong.

Confirms if your bloating is actually caused by a bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

Checks specific markers (like Calprotectin) to see if your gut is physically inflamed.

Explains exactly why fermentable foods (FODMAPs) trigger you, so we can fix the gut and get you eating normally again.

Why should I bother with comprehensive pathology tests?

It is incredibly frustrating to be told your labs are "normal" when you still feel exhausted, bloated, or burnt out.


That is why I look deeper.


These specialised functional tests are unique because they map out your microbiome, hormones, and metabolism.


People, in many cases, get treated for symptoms, not the root cause. They spend thousands on supplements and get handballed like a football between specialist doctors.


I use this data to find exactly why they are happening so we can fix them for good.

WHAT YOUR GP WON'T TELL YOU

The Problem With "Normal" Reference Ranges

Have you ever wondered who defines "normal"?


Lab reference ranges are based on a bell curve of the average population visiting that lab, people who are usually sick, stressed, or medicated.


Being "normal" just means you are average.


I don't compare you to the sick population; I compare you to optimal. We look for tighter, healthy ranges that support vitality and energy, not just ranges that keep you alive.

stop wasting money & doing damage

Stop Building A "Supplement Graveyard."

How many half-empty bottles of vitamins are sitting in your cupboard right now?


Taking supplements without data is expensive guesswork. You might be taking Magnesium when you actually need Zinc, or taking Probiotics that are feeding a bacterial overgrowth.


By testing first, we stop the guesswork and define exactly what your body needs.


I prescribe only exactly what your chemistry craves.


This stops you from wasting money on products you don't need and gets you results faster..

The Difference

Standard Mainstream Approach

Designed for Disease, Not Health Tests are designed to catch severe pathology (like heart attacks) but often miss chronic dysfunction.

The "Average" Trap Compares your results to the "average" population (who are often sick), meaning "normal" just means you aren't dying.

A Mere Snapshot Offers a single snapshot in time that fails to capture your daily hormonal rhythms or long-term mineral history.

Vague Answers Often results in generic labels like "IBS" or "Just Stress" without offering a concrete solution or explanation.

My Functional Approach

Root Cause Resolution I look deeper to identify the underlying imbalance driving your symptoms so we can resolve them for good.

Optimal Ranges I compare your data to "optimal" health standards, aiming for vitality and energy, not just "survival."

The Full Picture: Extensive testing that connects the dots between your gut health, stress hormones, and metabolism.

A Clear Roadmap You walk away with a specific diagnosis and a data-driven plan to fix the engine, rather than just masking the noise.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My GP blood tests came back normal. Why do I need these?

    This is the most common story I hear.


    GP blood tests are designed to screen for acute disease and medical emergencies. If you aren't "dying," you are often flagged as "normal."


    Functional testing is different because we screen for dysfunction. We look for the grey areas. We find the subtle hormonal imbalances, gut infections, and nutrient deficiencies that make you feel terrible long before they turn into a disease state. 


    If you have symptoms but no answers, these tests bridge that gap.

  • I am taking medication (or the pill). Can I still test?

    Generally, yes. However, certain medications can influence results. 


    For example, if you are doing the DUTCH hormone test, being on the oral contraceptive pill will change how we interpret the data.


    During our initial consult, we will review exactly what you are taking and decide on the perfect timing to ensure your results are accurate.

  • Can I just order a test without a consultation?

    No. A test result is just raw data. The value lies in the interpretation.


    I require an initial consultation to ensure we are actually ordering the right test for you. There is no point paying for an SIBO test if your issue is actually large bowel dysbiosis. 


    We review your history first to make sure every dollar you spend gives us useful answers.

  • Do I have to go to a lab to do these tests?

    Mostly, no! That is the best part. 


    The majority of my functional tests (GI Map, DUTCH, SIBO, HTMA, and OMX) are at-home kits.


    I ship the kit directly to your door. 


    You collect the sample (stool, urine, breath, or hair) in the privacy of your own home and post it back in the pre-paid envelope.


    No waiting rooms, no needles, and no awkward clinical settings.

  • Are these tests covered by Medicare?

    In Australia, specialised functional pathology is not covered by Medicare. 


    These are advanced, private labs (like NutriPath and Diagnostic Solutions) that go far beyond the standard scope of public testing.


    While the tests are an out-of-pocket investment, they often save you money in the long run by stopping the  "guessing game" and getting to the root cause faster. 


    Note: Depending on your level of cover, some Private Health funds may offer rebates on your consultation fees.

  • How long does it take to get results?

    Turnaround time is typically 2 - 3 weeks at max. 


    We will schedule your review consultation after you receive your test results and I've had a chance to study them thoroughly. 


    I will walk you through exactly what it means and present your tailored treatment plan.
