🧪 Lab Testing
Personalised Functional Testing to Reveal Root-Cause Insights
At PN4W, we don’t guess — we test strategically. Functional lab testing helps us uncover hidden imbalances that may be driving your symptoms long before a formal diagnosis is made. These advanced tests go beyond standard blood work to look at how your body is actually functioning.
🔍 Why Functional Labs?
Unlike routine tests that look for disease, functional labs focus on:
-
Nutrient and mineral status
-
Hormone imbalances (e.g., thyroid, adrenal, reproductive)
-
Gut health and microbiome composition
-
Detoxification and oxidative stress
-
Immune and inflammation markers
-
Metabolic resilience and blood sugar regulation
These tests provide a deeper lens into your biochemistry so we can tailor precise, root-cause interventions.
🧭 When Do We Recommend Testing?
Lab testing is not required upfront. Most clients start with a Phase 1 Consultation, and we’ll guide you on whether testing is needed after reviewing your intake form. If deeper insight is needed, we may recommend moving to Phase 2, which includes personalised lab strategies.
🧬 Sample Tests We May Use:
-
DUTCH Hormone Panel
-
GI-MAP or Gut Zoomer
-
Organic Acids Test (OAT)
-
Blood chemistry with functional ranges
-
Micronutrient panels (e.g., Genova, NutrEval)
-
Heavy metal or environmental toxin screens
-
Genetic & methylation SNPs (when relevant)
📦 At-Home Convenience or Clinic Collection
Most functional labs are easy to complete from home with kits mailed directly to you. Some blood panels may require a local phlebotomy or in-clinic draw.
💡 Invest in Insight
Lab testing is always used strategically — we avoid overtesting and always explain costs in advance. Many clients find that a single panel can unlock the missing pieces of their long-standing health puzzle.
