'Healthy Happy Hormones'
I choose, arrange and interpret a wide range of tests (e.g. blood, stool, urine, saliva, hair) that can tell us more about how your body is functioning. For example, testing can tell us more about things like your digestive functions, hormones (including sex hormones, thyroid and stress), foods you may be sensitive to or where you may have deficiencies of certain nutrients. Listed below are examples of tests I commonly use.

Hormone Balance Test
DUTCH (DRIED URINE TEST FOR COMPREHENSIVE HORMONES)
This profile analyses over 35 different hormones to provide insights into conditions such as the menopause, PCOS, weight gain, fatigue, low libido, premenstrual syndrome, mood swings, sleep issues, mood disorders and prostate issues in men.
Adrenal Function Test
This profile helps detect any imbalances of the adrenal glands that are important for the output of our stress hormones such as cortisol.
Full Thyroid Test
This profile gives an in-depth picture of your thyroid health
DNA Testing
THYROID BALANCE, OESTROGEN BALANCE, NUTRIENT CORE, NERVOUS SYSTEM
These profiles detail our gene variants and provide information about how to best manage potential risks with nutrition and lifestyle
Comprehensive Stool Test
Stool testing provides us with a great deal of information about how our digestive system, the root of all health is functioning.
Food Sensitivity Testing
(Also known as food intolerance testing)
This test identifies foods that our immune system is likely to be reacting to. It may be helpful for people with various symptoms/conditions such as IBS, eczema or arthritis.
Coeliac Screen
This test screens for coeliac disease, a condition in which someone whose immune system is reacting to gluten-containing products.
Organic Acids
Measurement of organic acids can provide valuable information about nutrient status such as need for certain vitamins. It also provides information about neurotransmitters that have an effect on mood in addition to many other markers pertinent to energy and toxins. Testing may be particularly beneficial for people with mood disorders, chronic stress or fatigue.
Vitamin D Test
Test for levels of the sunshine vitamin (actually a hormone) which plays a vital role in good health, including bone health, immunity, gut health, hormone health, nervous system and more!
Other Testing
Dependent on symptoms and circumstances, I may recommend other appropriate testing.
Working With Me
We are just like plants really! Stick us in a some good quality soil (a positive environment) and nourish well with the right nutrients and plentiful hydration, depending on our needs. Provide resilience against toxins (support our detoxification and elimination) and other enemies (like stress). And give us a good quantity and quality of rest (yes, plants sleep too!). And just like plants, with a nourishing diet and lifestyle, our mind and body can do their best for us and we can thrive!
What My Clients Say
Testimonials
My sugar and caffeine cravings have practically gone (which I’m shocked to be writing) and that classic tired but wired feeling seems like a thing of the past.
Unlike my expectations of nutritionists from years ago, Michelle is not going to tell you to eat salad and cut out all desserts. She wants you to ENJOY food and eat combinations and the variety that will help you feel great.
I can’t thank Michelle enough for her tips and expertise, all relayed in a way that is kind, clear and practical.”
