Functional Testing at Infinite Health Studio
Understanding your body from the inside out
Functional testing looks beyond the surface to show how your body’s systems are truly working together. Instead of simply identifying a condition, these tests help uncover the underlying patterns and imbalances contributing to your symptoms.
At Infinite Health Studio in Shenton Park, we use functional testing to assess key areas such as hormones, digestion, nutrient balance, detoxification pathways, and immune function. These insights not only guide tailored treatment plans but also allow our practitioners to collaborate more effectively as part of your healthcare team. By sharing a clearer picture of how your body is functioning, we can work together across modalities to create integrated, long-term solutions that support healing.
6 Key Areas:
Hormone and Adrenal Testing
Gut & Digestive Health
Nutritional and Metabolic Testing
Immune, Allergy and Food Sensitivity Testing
Detoxification, Toxin and Heavy Metal Testing
Specialised Functional Tests
Hormone and adrenal testing
Hormones play a vital role in regulating mood, energy, metabolism, and stress response. When they fall out of balance, symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, sleep disruption, or changes in weight and reproductive health can appear.
Testing may include:
-
Salivary hormone profiles – Measure oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and DHEA at different times of the day.
-
Thyroid profile – Assesses TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies to understand thyroid function and metabolism.
-
DUTCH Complete hormone test – A detailed urine test analysing sex hormones, their metabolites, cortisol rhythms, and adrenal output.
The results provide a clear picture of how your hormones are interacting and adapting to daily demands. This allows our team to design nutrition, lifestyle, and treatment strategies
Gut and digestive health
Your gut is central to how your whole body functions. It influences everything from energy and immunity to mood and inflammation. When digestion isn’t working as it should, it can affect multiple systems and contribute to symptoms that seem unrelated to the gut itself.
Testing may include:
-
Gut microbiome testing – Assesses the diversity and balance of gut bacteria, offering insight into how your microbiome may be shaping your digestion, immune health, and overall wellbeing.
-
SIBO breath test – Measures hydrogen and methane gases to detect bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.
-
Intestinal permeability test – Evaluates how well the gut lining is functioning and screens for signs of “leaky gut.”
-
Helicobacter pylori test – Identifies the presence of H. pylori bacteria, which can affect stomach comfort and digestion.
Understanding the state of your digestive system helps our practitioners tailor nutrition and lifestyle strategies and collaborate across modalities to restore balance, reduce symptoms, and strengthen gut health for the long term.
Nutritional and Metabolic Testing
These assessments help us understand how efficiently your body converts food into fuel, utilises nutrients, and maintains metabolic balance. Even mild deficiencies or imbalances can influence energy, mood, focus, and recovery.
Testing may include:
-
Micronutrient test – Measures levels of essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
-
Organic acids test (OAT) – Evaluates metabolic pathways, nutrient use, and mitochondrial function.
-
Fatty acid and omega 3:6 profile – Reviews cell membrane integrity and inflammation balance.
-
Blood glucose and insulin testing – Assesses energy regulation and insulin sensitivity.
-
Lipid profile – Measures cholesterol, triglycerides, and HDL/LDL ratios for cardiovascular health.
-
Iron studies, ferritin, B12, folate, and vitamin D – Identifies key nutrient deficiencies that can affect mood, immunity, and vitality.
These insights guide a truly personalised plan that supports energy production, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. Our collaborative approach means nutrition and lifestyle strategies are aligned across modalities to help you feel your best.
Immune, Allergy and Food Sensitivity Testing
Your immune system is designed to protect you, but when it becomes overactive or misdirected, it can create ongoing inflammation that contributes to fatigue, skin changes, digestive issues, or other chronic symptoms. Identifying the triggers behind this response allows us to calm the immune system and restore balance.
Testing may include:
-
IgG and IgA food sensitivity panels – Detect delayed immune reactions to foods that may drive inflammation or discomfort.
-
Coeliac and gluten sensitivity profiles – Assess how gluten may be affecting digestive or immune health.
-
Comprehensive allergy panels – Screen for immediate allergic responses to foods, pollens, or environmental allergens.
-
Autoimmune antibody tests – Identify markers that show immune system overactivity or autoimmunity.
Understanding your immune reactivity helps our team design strategies—across nutrition, lifestyle, and other modalities—to reduce inflammation, improve tolerance, and support long-term wellbeing.
Detoxification, Toxin and Heavy Metal Testing
Everyday exposure to environmental toxins can place extra stress on the body, influencing hormone balance, energy levels, and mental clarity. Testing helps identify both external and internal sources of toxin accumulation and assesses how effectively your body is processing and eliminating them.
Testing may include:
-
Heavy tissue mineral analysis – Screens for metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and aluminium that may disrupt cellular and metabolic function.
The results guide targeted nutritional and lifestyle strategies to enhance natural detoxification pathways safely and effectively. Our team uses these insights to support balance, recovery, and long-term vitality across all areas of health.
Specialised Functional Tests
Specialised testing allows for deeper exploration of complex health concerns. These advanced assessments are tailored to your individual presentation.
Some health concerns require a closer look at the body’s more intricate systems. Specialised testing provides detailed information to help uncover complex patterns that standard investigations may miss. These assessments are selected based on your unique presentation and health goals.
Testing may include:
-
Genetic and nutrigenomic testing – Examines how your genes influence nutrient metabolism, detoxification, and stress resilience.
-
Cardiovascular risk profile – Measures lipid subfractions, inflammatory markers, and homocysteine to assess cardiovascular health.
-
Inflammation and oxidative stress markers – Identify ongoing inflammation that may contribute to chronic conditions.
-
Neurotransmitter and mood markers – Evaluate levels of serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and other key neurotransmitters involved in emotional wellbeing.
-
Fertility and androgen panels – Provide detailed hormone analysis to support reproductive health for both men and women.
These advanced assessments help our practitioners fine-tune personalised, evidence-based treatment strategies working collaboratively across modalities to create a clear path toward optimal health.
What to Expect
-
Comprehensive Consultation
Our practitioners begin by discussing your symptoms, health history, and goals to determine which tests will offer the most value.
-
Personalised Test Selection
We recommend the most relevant and evidence-based tests for your needs.
-
Simple Collection Process
Many tests can be completed at home or through standard pathology services.
Detailed Review and Plan
Once results are available, we review them together and create a comprehensive plan that supports balance, healing, and long-term health.
