Vitamin D is necessary for maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, cell growth and differentiation, immune system health, neuromuscular function and more. It is found in very few foods; fortified milk, soy beverages, cereal products are a few examples. Vitamin D requirements may vary based on age and sex. -
The thyroid profile is a precise, comprehensive analysis of thyroid hormone metabolism. It includes central thyroid gland regulation and activity, thyroid production and secretion, peripheral thyroid conversion, and autoimmunity. -
The Sleep Profile is a non-invasive saliva test that assesses two major causes for insomnia: imbalances in melatonin and cortisol. Melatonin is a peptide hormone produced by the pineal gland which helps to control normal sleep patterns. -
The Organic Acids Metabolomic Profile is a nutritional test that provides insights into existing and latent organic acid imbalances in the body. This test can help identify metaboli blocks that can be treated nutritionally, allowing individual tailoring of interventions to maximise patient responses. -
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that send signals in the brain and nervous system. They communicate with one another in relation to their effects on mood disorders, hormones, sleep, glucose/insulin balance, pain perception, appetite and cognitive function. -
Your liver plays a vital role in your health. It is one of the primary organs responsible for filtering blood, which is why it is important that your liver is functioning properly.

Iron is a critical part of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that binds oxygen in the lungs and releases it as blood travels to other parts of the body. -
HLA testing is useful in identifying gluten-sensitivity. It is a blood test that detects the genes controlling how our immune system reacts to gluten protein. -
The main hormones affecting the menstrual cycle and fertility are produced by glands in the brain and by the ovaries. Those hormones regulate menstruation, fertility and sex drive (libido) – any one of which can be adversely affected if the production of these hormones goes out of balance. -
The Estrogen Pathology is an estrogen metabolite assessment that detects the urinary products of estrogen metabolism. In this assessment, elevated levels of any of the metabolites may indicate an imbalance in estrogen metabolism. -
This test assesses the critical balance between essential Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids. Essential fatty acids play a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair, skin, nails and bone health. The Fatty Acids Profile can indicate the need for fatty acid supplementation and/or dietary modification. -
The My Comprehensive Wellness Profile is a cutting-edge service that analyses over 40 genetic markers known to impact metabolism, exercise and energy use. The test examines specific genetic markers to give you personal insight about how your body processes sugars, fats, vitamins and nutrients. The final laboratory report includes a detailed analysis on how your body responds to exercise based upon your genetics.
