Testing Guidance Consultation

What This Appointment Is For

The Testing Guidance Consultation is ideal if you:

• Want access to functional testing without a full Initial Consultation
• Already have an apparent reason or goal for testing
• Are curious about specific systems like digestion, hormones, genetics, or metabolism
• Want to explore Microbiome, myDNA Methylation or other advanced tests
• Prefer to review your results independently before deciding on deeper clinical support

 

This session ensures that you receive the correct test tailored to your specific health concerns, symptoms, and personal goals.

 

What the Appointment Involves

This is a short telehealth appointment (typically 15–20 minutes) and includes the following:

 

1. Clinical Screening to Ensure the Test Is Appropriate

Your practitioner will assess:

• Your current symptoms and goals
• Recent medical history
• Any medications or health conditions
• Whether the test you want is relevant and safe
• Whether an alternative test may give a clearer picture

This ensures the test selected will provide helpful, actionable information.

 

2. Explanation of Test Instructions

Your practitioner will walk you through:

• How to complete the test correctly
• Special preparation required (fasting, diet changes, timing, etc.)
• Shipping, drop-off, or collection guidelines
• Expected turnaround times
• What the results report will look like

Proper preparation is essential for accurate testing - we make sure you feel confident and informed.

 

What Happens When Your Results Are Ready

Once your test results arrive:

✔️ You will receive your full results report

We send the complete report directly to you to review at your own pace.

✔️ No interpretation is included with this appointment

This consultation covers only test access and guidance.

✔️ If you would like your results analysed and explained,

You can book an Extended Initial Consultation, where a practitioner will:

• Interpret your results in detail
• Connect the findings to your symptoms
• Create a personalised treatment plan
• Provide supplement, nutritional, and lifestyle recommendations

This ensures you receive comprehensive, clinically accurate interpretation when needed.

 

Who This Service Is Ideal For

• Individuals interested in functional testing only
• People exploring specific health questions (gut health, hormones, methylation, metabolism, etc.)
• Those wanting clarity before committing to a full consultation
• Patients are already under the care of another practitioner, but want additional testing
• Anyone who prefers an independent review before clinical interpretation
