Testing
Much research, and experience here and in the States, has enabled me to have a good understanding of which factors may be at play in an individual’s illness.
However, nothing expedites the reversal of poor health more than testing and pinpointing exactly what is taking place in the body, whether that be through a stool test, Oligoscan test, a blood draw or a urine test.
Testing requires an up-front investment, but ultimately it avoids guesswork, and therefore frequently saves on consultation time and money spent on supplements. Most importantly, testing can shorten the duration of an illness and accelerate someone’s journey to wellness.
GI Effects Microbial Ecology Profile
What is?
Is the most comprehensive stool test that assesses the diverse gut microbiome. Results provide immediate, actionable clinical information for the management of detectable parasites, bacteria, and yeast, as well as providing valuable assessment of gut microbiota via 24 Commensal Bacteria targets.
The GI Effects Microbial Ecology Profile is part of the larger GI Effects Comprehensive Stool Profile, which also provides information about digestion, inflammation, and bacterial metabolism markers. .

GI Effects Gut Pathogen Profile
What is?
The Gut Pathogen Profile is a comprehensive stool assessment for pathogenic or potentially pathogenic organisms. Results provide immediate, actionable clinical information for the management of detectable parasites, bacteria, and yeast.
Testing is ideal for patients with sudden changes in bowel habits, especially for those who have recently traveled abroad, have been camping, had exposure to untreated water, had close contact with animals, or consumed undercooked meat or seafood.

GI Effects Comprehensive Stool Test
What is?
The GI Effects Comprehensive Stool Profile can reveal important information about the root cause of many common gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and constipation. This stool analysis utilises biomarkers such as faecal calprotectin to differentiate between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).4,5 In addition, Genova's GI Effects test can be used to evaluate patients with a clinical history that suggests a gastrointestinal infection or dysbiosis.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
3 hours test
What is?
Genova's SIBO Profiles are non-invasive breath tests which capture exhaled hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) gases following patient ingestion of a lactulose solution to evaluate bacterial overgrowth of the
small intestine. Levels of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) are also measured in every sample for quality control purposes.
The 3-hour SIBO profile provides insight into gas levels over a longer period of time, and is recommended for patients with slower gastrointestinal transit or constipation.

Coeliac and Gluten Sensitivity test
What is?
The Coeliac and Gluten Sensitivity test is a blood test that measures important markers to aid in the diagnosis of CD including Total IgA, Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase IgA (tTG IgA), Anti-Deamidated Gliadin IgA (DGP IgA), and reflex Anti-Endomysial IgA (EMA IgA). Gluten sensitivity is assessed via Anti-Gliadin IgA and Anti-Gliadin IgG. Along with these results, Genova's unique report configuration provides a simple diagnostic algorithm to aid clinicians in assessing likelihood of disease.

Rhythm Plus™ Hormone test
What is?
The Rhythm Plus™ hormone test is a comprehensive assessment of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone spanning a full 28 days. Additionally, this hormone testing profile includes the Adrenocortex Stress Profile and the Comprehensive Melatonin Profile to reveal how the sex hormones are influenced by cortisol, DHEA, and melatonin. Hormone imbalances revealed in this hormone test can help illuminate root causes of disorders such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), infertility, and menstrual irregularities.

Thyroid Plus
What is?
The Thyroid Plus test is a more cost effective way of combining the Total Thyroid Screen with Reverse T3 to give the full picture of thyroid health status. Thyroid imbalances have far reaching effects and elicit fatigue, depression, coldness, constipation, poor skin, headaches, PMS, dysmenorrhea, fluid retention, weight gain, anxiety/panic attacks, decreased memory and concentration, muscle and joint pain, and a low sex drive.

Adrenal - Thyroid Profile
What is?
Adrenal evaluation is commonly considered for patients with fatigue and a host of other complaints resulting from a history of chronic psychological or physiological stress. However adrenal evaluation is also vital for treating patients with hypothyroidism, due to the close interaction of these endocrinal systems.
This consists of the Adrenal Stress Profile,
(salivary cortisol and DHEA), as well as urinary T3 levels.

Toxic Effects CORE
What is?
Research suggests that this exposure begins very early
in life. Once thought to be protected by the placental barrier, even infants have shown signs of in-utero toxic exposure. In fact, a 2005 Environmental Working Group (EWG) investigation found over 200 toxic compounds (in aggregate) in the cord blood of 10 newborns
.
A comprehensive and cost-effective tool, Toxic Effects CORE narrows down the areas of toxic burden that could be related to chronic, intractable symptoms in your patients.

Helicobacter Pylori Stool Test
What is?
Stool antigen tests have been recommended as the most accurate non-invasive tests for diagnosis and for confirmation of eradication.1,2 This method is highly sensitive and specific and useful for diagnosis, therapeutic monitoring, and test of eradication.
Unlike stool antigen tests, Serology-based methods have a sensitivity and specificity of only 90% and cannot distinguish between active and resolved infection.

Testing
Here you can find a wide range of selected tests providing critical information I believe is integral for optimising your health.
OLIGOSCAN TEST
Using a quick, simple, non-invasive test, we can identify whether your body is toxic, or whether you have any mineral deficiencies.
The OligoScan technology utilizes spectrophotometry (absorbance levels or the optical density of a specific chemical or mineral substance) to determine the amount of trace elements and heavy metals existing within your tissues.
