Functional Medicine Testing Manchester

Functional Medicine Testing goes beyond standard health checks to help uncover the root causes of your symptoms

Using advanced laboratory assessments, we identify hidden imbalances that may be affecting your skin, hormones, digestion, metabolism, mood, energy, and overall wellbeing.

This in depth approach is ideal for anyone experiencing complex, persistent, or unexplained symptoms such as acne, PCOS, PMS, IBS, bloating, fatigue, weight changes, chronic inflammation, sleep issues, or mood imbalances.

Whether you attend in person or online, you will receive:

  • A personalised test selection based on your symptoms and goals

  • A detailed interpretation of your results

  • Clear explanations in easy to understand language

  • Optional tailored functional medicine plan using nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and topical support where appropriate

  • Optional follow up plans to track progress and adjust your protocol

DUTCH Test

Test Descriptions
DUTCH® Hormone Testing

 

A comprehensive urine and saliva test that maps out sex hormones, stress hormones, and their metabolites. It helps identify issues with PMS, PCOS, peri-menopause, fatigue, stress, sleep, and mood by showing how your body produces, uses, and clears hormones.

  • DUTCH Complete – A full overview of sex hormones, cortisol patterns, adrenal function, and hormone metabolites.

  • DUTCH Plus – Everything in DUTCH Complete plus cortisol awakening response (CAR) for a deeper look at stress and fatigue.

  • Cycle Mapping – Tracks hormone changes across your entire cycle to understand ovulation, irregular periods, fertility, or mid-cycle symptoms.

  • Cycle Mapping Plus – Combines full cycle tracking and adrenal testing for a complete hormonal picture.

  • Cycle Mapping Complete – The most in-depth option, including cycling hormones, adrenal function, and metabolites.

GI-MAP & Gut Health Testing

A detailed stool test that assesses digestion, gut microbiome balance, inflammation, pathogens, yeast, parasites, and markers linked to IBS, bloating, acne, eczema, fatigue, and immune health.

  • GI Effects Comprehensive Profile – A full overview of digestion, absorption, gut flora, inflammation, and potential infections.

  • GI Effects Microbial Ecology – Focuses specifically on bacterial and yeast balance in the gut.

Add ons:

  • Parasitology Module – Checks for parasites linked to IBS, bloating, diarrhoea, and travel exposure.

  • Secretory IgA – Measures gut immune function, often linked with food sensitivities and chronic stress.

  • Direct Examination for Parasites – Microscopic evaluation for parasitic organisms.

  • Helicobacter pylori – Identifies H. pylori, a common cause of stomach irritation, reflux, and ulcers.

  • KOH Prep for Yeast – Screens for yeast or fungal overgrowth.

  • Stool Zonulin – Indicates intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”).

  • SIBO Breath Test (2- or 3-hour) – Detects small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, a common cause of bloating, gas, and IBS symptoms.


Other Specialist Testing

  • Metabolomix+ – A nutritional and metabolic assessment including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and gut-derived markers.

  • Methylation Genomic – Analyses genetic variations related to methylation, detoxification, energy, and mood.

  • DetoxiGenomic® Profile – Looks at genes involved in detox pathways and toxin clearance.

  • ToxDetect – Screens for environmental toxins that may affect hormones, energy, immunity, and skin health.

  • Organic Acids Test (OAT) – A urine test assessing yeast, bacteria, mitochondrial function, detoxification markers, and nutritional deficiencies—often used for fatigue, mood issues, brain fog, and stubborn gut symptoms.

  • MycoTOX – Identifies exposure to mould toxins (mycotoxins), which can contribute to headaches, fatigue, skin issues, sinus symptoms, and immune imbalance.

  • Dietary Antigen Test – Screens immune reactions to common foods that may trigger inflammation, digestive issues, skin flare-ups, or chronic symptoms.

  • IgG Food Map + Candida/Yeast – Assesses delayed food sensitivities and checks for yeast overgrowth that may affect skin, digestion, and energy.

  • DNA Health Test – A genetic panel that highlights your unique predispositions in metabolism, nutrient needs, inflammation, detoxification, and ageing.

  • Comprehensive Neurotransmitter Profile – Measures brain-related chemicals such as serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and others that influence mood, stress response, sleep, and focus.

  • Nutrition Genome – Explores how your individual genetic variations influence the way your body processes nutrients, manages inflammation, detoxification and metabolic balance.
