No, Genomic Wellness DNA testing investigates the genes involved in specific biological pathways in the body. This type of DNA testing is designed to help people optimise their health by understanding their individual genetic profile and identifying aspects of health that may benefit from specific dietary and lifestyle modification.

The turnaround time on DNA testing is approximately 4 weeks after the lab receives your sample.

Genomic Wellness DNA test (saliva test) – $396.00 (this amount is paid directly to the lab)

DNA testing also requires two appointments. In the initial screening appointment (one hour) we gather details of your personal and family health history along with information about your current dietary and lifestyle choices, along with your health goals. Genes alone are not predictive of disease, it is the combination of genes and environmental factors, including diet and lifestyle factors that dictate health. The information gathered in this first appointment helps us to clarify your health goals, assess your current health and provide you with personalised health advice.

In the second ‘Report of Findings’ appointment (1 hour) you will receive your extensive DNA report complied by the geneticists at Smart DNA. You will also receive a Health Care Plan which provides you with easy to understand information and nutritional and lifestyle advice to optimise your health.

**please note: appointments are are paid separately

Yes, all appointments are conducted via our easy to use, secure, telehealth system, so you can book an appointment regardless of where you live in Australia.

The DNA testing is performed by the geneticists at Smart DNA in their lab based in Melbourne.

Microbiome testing is the gold standard in gut testing. This stool test examines the DNA of all bacteria present and allows for identification of species not usually reported on in other tests. It provides you with an understanding of the balance of the species in the gut and can identify species that have been associated with leaky gut, inflammation, metabolic syndrome, autoimmunity and many other conditions. Gut Microbiome testing costs $330.00 and turn around time to receive your report is approximately 6 weeks.

This stool test uses microscopy to identify bacteria, yeasts and parasites that can cause gut problems. Once identified any problematic microbes are then tested in the lab for their sensitivity to natural medicines, to ensure appropriate treatment. Depending on the level of CDSA you choose it can also report on a range of other important markers, such as absorption, inflammation, short chain fatty acid production, hormone metabolism via the gut and Helicobacter pylori status. The cost of a CDSA ranges from $145.00 upwards, depending on the level you choose. The turn around time from the lab is approximately 3 weeks.

This is a quick simple DNA test that we use to identify common parasites along with major gut pathogens. It is performed through a standard medical lab. It is a highly sensitive DNA test and can identify even low level amounts of pathogen. This test costs $48.00 and the turn around time is approximately 3 days.

Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth has been associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and a range of other digestive disorders. While lower gut function is easily assessed using stool testing upper gut function can be more difficult to assess. We use breath testing to identify SIBO. This non-invasive test provides valuable information on upper gut function that helps us to structure an appropriate gut healing protocol using natural medicines and specific dietary interventions. The cost of SIBO Breath testing starts at  $195.00 and depends on what level you choose. The turn around time is two weeks.

There are a range of food intolerance tests available to help you clearly identify foods that you may be reacting to. Avoiding reactive foods can be an important step in healing the gut. However, it is best we talk you through your options as often it is better to do preliminary gut testing before going straight to food intolerance testing. This could save you money in the long run. We will talk you through all of your options and help you choose the most appropriate and cost effective testing to help you achieve healthy, comfortable digestion.

Adrenal fatigue is a term that describes ongoing feelings of fatigue or exhaustion that is not relieved by sleep. The adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys and are responsible for the secretion of adrenaline, cortisol, DHEA and other hormones that are required to help your body function during times of stress, whether it is physical, emotional or mental. Adrenal fatigue usually occurs after a period of prolonged stress, over work or over training. We use functional pathology to investigate cortisol and DHEA levels. There are different stages of adrenal fatigue, with the most advanced cases being associated with chronic fatigue. Herbal medicine provides the most effective treatment for adrenal fatigue while nutritional support and dietary intervention is also important.

Natural medicine has a lot to offer women who suffer from endometriosis. Endometriosis is a complex condition which is driven by poor oestrogen metabolism and further complicated by inflammation. We offer DNA testing, (which gives a clear understanding of both of these important pathways) or functional pathology oestrogen metabolism testing (that allows us to track improvements in oestrogen metabolism). Endometriosis is a very painful condition and may also cause problems with fertility. Treatment using herbal and nutritional medicines is aimed at decreasing pain and inflammation while supporting effective oestrogen metabolism and regulating hormones.

Food intolerance are incredibly common and many people don’t know which foods they are reacting to. Many people adopt a very restricted diet in order to avoid foods they may react to, this can lead to lots of confusion about dietary choices and potentially cause unnecessary nutrient deficiencies. We offer a range of functional testing to help you identify foods that are causing your symptoms and provide dietary advice on how to avoid those foods in the diet while strengthening and modulating your immune system. You may also be interested in gene testing that can clarify your potential for coeliac disease or lactose intolerance.

Yes, we have extensive experience in treating hormone imbalance. Most women experience symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance at some time in their lives, this may include PMT, irregular menstrual cycle, mood disruption, heavy bleeding, bloating, breast tenderness, acne etc . Hormones may become disrupted due to stress, changes in body weight or diet or after discontinuation of the oral contraceptive pill. Women also experience hormonal changes in their teenage years and again from their mid 30′s onwards as hormone levels change. Herbal medicine has been used throughout history to help regulate the menstrual cycle and balance hormones, effectively reducing symptoms and easing times of transition.

According to statistics one in every six couples experiences infertility. Natural medicine has a long history of use for the treatment of both male and female infertility. In women it is used to support hormonal health and regulate menstrual the cycle and promote ovulation. Male fertility also responds well to treatment with herbal and nutritional medicine and problems such as low sperm count, poor motility or high morphology can all be addressed using these type of treatments. Preconception care is an important part of infertility treatment and may involve detoxification, nutritional support and dietary intervention in order to ensure that both parents are in optimal health prior to conception.

Herbal and nutritional medicine along with dietary intervention and homotoxicology may be used to help regulate bowel function and provide significant symptom relief. We also offer comprehensive bowel and digestive function testing which is able to clearly identify any potential pathogens present that are having a negative effect on bowel function and helps to pinpoint areas of the digestive function that may need additional support.

We test everyone who comes to see us for Leaky Gut using a simple urine test that we perform on the spot, in clinic. Leaky gut is an incredibly common condition that is often a driving factor behind many other conditions including, allergies, autoimmune disease, hormonal disruption and weight problems to name a few. The term ‘Leaky gut’ means that the membranes of the digestive tract become open and porous, which lets undigested food, toxins and bacteria pass into the system. This causes significant irritation to the immune system which is always on alert in this area to protect the body. Another common feature of leaky gut is dysbiosis, or the overgrowth of ‘bad’ bacteria in the digestive tract. Bacteria can give off toxins and chemicals which cause the membranes of the digestive tract to become more porous in the first place. Natural medicine offers excellent treatment options for Leaky gut, including herbal antimicrobial treatment, probiotic and prebiotic therapy and nutritional medicine to heal the gut wall. As it is such a strong driving factor in many health conditions we often use Leaky Gut treatment as a starting point in our health protocols.

Hormonal fluctuations from the age of 35 onwards can be associated with peri-menopause, a term used to describe the lead up to menopause. Some women start experience symptoms such as mood swings, irregular periods, insomnia, night sweats, hot flushes, lowered energy in the lead up to and during menopause. For other women however the onset of menopause is quite sudden and the transition can be challenging. Natural medicine and particularly herbal medicine can be used to support hormonal balance and effectively lessen the symptoms associated with Menopause or peri-menopause.

Many people have difficulty losing weight despite their best efforts with diet and exercise. This may be due to metabolism problems. Our ability to lose or gain weight is effected by several different factors, including genetic variations, high cortisol levels due to stress, thyroid problems or the presence of gut dysbiosis, which has been shown to interfere with insulin signaling and have a direct association with weight retention and obesity. Other issues which could cause metabolism problems and block weight loss is fatty liver, insulin resistance and low grade systemic toxicity. We have a range of different functional pathology tests and offer cutting edge Wellness Genomics DNA testing to accurately identify the causes of metabolism problems. Our weight loss programs can be tailored suit each individual and herbal and nutritional medicine can be used to treat the driving factors behind metabolism problems.

Migraine can cause significant disruption to the lives of people who experience them frequently. Natural medicine, including herbal and nutritional medicine, can help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines and in some cases be used as a primary form of treatment.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine condition that is caused by a number of driving factors including a genetic tendency towards blood sugar disruption, hormonal imbalance and often involves adrenal disruption. The symptoms can vary from women to women and may include weight gain, irregular menstrual cycle, acne, excess hair growth, insulin resistance and or cysts present on the ovaries. Natural medicine provides effective support for women with PCOS and aims to regulate the menstrual cycle and support hormone balance using herbal medicine, promote healthy weight management using nutritional medicine and dietary interventions. This treatment is particularly important for women who are planning on pregnancy in the future as it increases the possibility of natural conception.

Stress seems to be a modern epidemic these days, people are busy juggling work, family and households and social commitments. While a little bit of stress can help you get things done, ongoing unrelenting stress is damaging to your long-term health and has been related to compromised immune system, depleted adrenal function, chronic disease and cancer. Ongoing stress is also one of the causative factors of depression, mood disorders and insomnia. Herbal and nutritional medicine provide effective treatment for the symptoms of stress and can be used to nourish and support the nervous system and minimize the effects of stress.

Thyroid gland function may become unstable during times of stress in genetically susceptible people, it is also highly sensitive to oxidative stress which may trigger thyroid disruption. While medical treatment for thyroid problems is effective, many people start to feel the effects of thyroid disruption long before they are deemed to fit into the category of frank ‘thyroid disease’. Natural medicine works beautifully to help balance thyroid function and nourish the thyroid gland and is of particular benefit when thyroid function starts to become disrupted, prior to diagnosis with frank thyroid disease.
