In partnership with Nutripath who have the the widest range of functional pathology testing throughout Australasia, GWN can offer clients a full suite of tests for hormonal imbalances and women’s health issues such as perimenopause, menopause and fertility issues in particular MTHFR testing for cases where there are unexplained fertility issues.
Comprehensive Thyroid testing is also available which goes beyond simply doing a TSH blood test. It can provide a more detailed view of thyroid function in particular when sub-clinical hypothyroidism is suspected. (ie symptoms of an underactive thyroid are not reflected in the TSH reading which comes back normal.)
Functional testing is also available for digestive and gut health issues such as IBS. Comphrensive Digestive Stool Analysis of various degrees can be undertaken by our clients to look for infections caused by bacteria, yeasts and worms, etc.
Breath testing where Small Intestinal Bowel Overgrowth, otherwise known as SIBO is suspected, can be arranged to access the level of hydrogen and methane the client is producing.
In addition to the above minerals and heavy metals can be assessed. As can amino acids (breakdown products of protein), omega 3’s and a variety of vitamins.
Routine blood tests can also be arranged (not covered under Medicare) as can blood type testing. In particular, Vitamin D, Iron Studies, B12, Folate, etc.
Pesticides, Bisphenol A, Phthalates & Parabens, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and many more toxic chemicals which can cause neurological and reproductive health conditions among others can also be accessed.
Using a combination of serum (blood testing arranged through blood collection pathology centers throughout Melbourne) urine and salivary testing in addition to blood spot test kits, most tests can be completed at home via a test kit couriered to your door. Simply follow the instructions and return in the post paid envelope for processing.
Please note Nutripath is a private lab and the tests must be paid for by the client for the processing to proceed. This Natuopathic/Nutrition service is not covered by Medicare.
