Functional and General Pathology
Further health testing may be required to 'dig-deeper' to uncover specific body system imbalances. These are usually done off-site by functional or general pathology laboratories. These may include tests such as:
- Food Intolerance testing
- Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)
- Iodine testing
- Hormonal and endocrine testing
- Thyroid tests: Free T3, Free T4, reverse T3, TSH, Thyroid antibodies
- Adrenal function tests: Cortisol, DHEAs
- Detoxification pathways assessment
- Assessment of Gut toxicity
- Stool analysis
- MTHFR and genome testing
How to get information on your complete genome (not just MTHFR)
We are only at the beginning of the exciting new journey of discovery into nutrigenomics and understanding how our unique genome profile affects our health and wellbeing.
While much emphasis is placed on methylation and gene variants such as MTHFR, we also need to understand environmental influences and epigenetic drivers of nutrition (called nutrigenomics) and how they affects oxidative stress, inflammation and metabolism.
By selecting specific key nutrients, based on our individual genome, we can support the management of oxidative stress, inflammation and metabolism. By understanding the body’s own unique biochemistry, we can find nutritional work-arounds for gene variants and promote optimal energy, motivation and happiness and vitality.
Companies like Ancestry DNA can test saliva, which provides information on the complete genome. The raw genomic data can then be utilised in order to assess each person's unique nutritional needs. It provides a blueprint on individual biochemical tendencies and enzyme function.
