FUNCTIONAL TESTING
GETTING TO THE ROOT CAUSE
Functional testing allows us to look beneath the surface of your symptoms and understand the root causes affecting your health. Instead of guessing, we use targeted, science-based laboratory tests to gain a clear picture of how your body is functioning. This helps us build a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan that’s accurate, effective, and truly tailored to you.
WHY FUNCTIONAL TESTING?
Many chronic or recurring symptoms—such as fatigue, digestive discomfort, skin issues, hormonal imbalance, or difficulty losing weight—often have deeper biochemical imbalances behind them. Functional testing helps identify these patterns, including:
KEY FUNCTIONAL TESTING AREAS
NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES
DIGESTIVE AND GUT HEALTH ISSUES
HORMONAL IMBALANCES
FOOD SENSITIVITIES
DETOXIFICATION AND LIVER FUNCTION
INFLAMMATION AND IMMUNE SYSTEM DYSREGULATION
STRESS AND ADRENAL FUNCTION
TESTING AVAILABLE
GI Axis Advanced +
Food Sensitivity Advanced
The GI Axis Advanced + FoodSensitivity Advanced test from YourGutMap combines a comprehensive gut-microbiome analysis (from a stool sample) with a broad IgG-based food sensitivity screen (via finger-prick blood). It evaluates gut health markers, microbiome diversity, and various “gut axes,” while also testing reactivity to 270+ foods and drinks, producing a “food sensitivity map” and total immune load score. Results include personalised dietary guidance aimed at reducing immune burden, managing food triggers, and supporting overall gut-related wellness.
GI Axis Advanced +
DNAMap Health & Nutrition
This test combines a full gut-microbiome analysis with a genetic-based nutrition profile. It reports on microbiome diversity (including bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, archaea), intestinal health markers and how your gut microbiome may influence digestion, immunity, metabolism, mood, detoxification and more. Simultaneously, the DNAMap component analyses 29+ genetic variants linked to digestion (e.g. lactose or gluten tolerance), metabolism, stress response, nutrient use, stimulant processing (caffeine/alcohol), exercise recovery and sleep patterns. The combined results aim to offer a holistic view of how your gut health + genetics might affect you, making it possible to tailor diet and lifestyle advice based on your own biology.
GI Axis Advanced +
Oral Microbiome
This test is a comprehensive at-home stool swab and finger-prick blood assessment that unlocks 70+ gut health insights and 20+ oral microbiome markers. It includes the full GI Axis Microbial Screen with 28 additional markers—covering fungi, parasites, pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and archaea—plus detailed metrics on microbiome diversity, intestinal permeability, digestive function, inflammation, immunity, and gut–organ axes. The oral microbiome analysis draws on 30+ published studies to reveal risks related to oral health, systemic inflammation, cardiovascular health, cognitive decline, weight management, and more. Together, the results provide personalised, actionable interventions for improving both gut and oral health.
GI Axis Advanced + Food Sensitivity Advanced + DNAMap Health & Nutrition
test is a comprehensive at-home stool, blood, and genetic analysis that reveals over 70 gut health insights, including microbiome diversity, intestinal permeability, digestive function, inflammation, immunity, and key gut–organ axes. It also provides a quantitative IgG assessment of 270+ food and drink sensitivities and measures total immune load. The DNAMap panel adds personalised nutrition guidance based on 29+ genetic SNPs. Together, these results offer a clear, actionable view of your gut health, food reactions, and nutritional needs.
