embracing nutrition and functional medicine, the UK's first Functional Medicine Practice with online consultations

Functional Lab Testing

What is Functional Testing and how does it help?

The testing used by medical professionals is focused on diagnosing medical health conditions. Functional Testing is different and provides complementary information on the imbalances that might be contributing to your health status. It focuses on potential root causes rather than symptoms. This allows me to see and understand what is going on in your body and how it’s functioning so I can provide a much more personalised approach for your journey to optimum wellness.

Broadcaster Julia Bradbury recently shared her top recommended health investments in The Times. Among them, she highlighted the importance of gut microbiome testing — naming Embracing Nutrition as her trusted choice.

Your gut health plays a vital role in immunity, digestion, and long-term wellbeing. Our advanced stool tests, including the GI 360™ and GI Effects®, provide detailed insights into your gut microbiome, identifying imbalances and guiding truly personalised nutrition.

Take one of the tests Julia recommends for longevity and start understanding your gut health at a deeper level.

We advise that a qualified practitioner interpret the results of all Functional Tests. However, this is optional.

When ordering tests, please allow up to two working days for your test purchase to be processed.

Once the lab notifies us that they have received your sample, we will contact you with the estimated return date for your test results. Please book your initial consultation after this date.

Please note: that the cost of an Initial Consultation is not included in the cost of your test.

If you are unsure which practitioner is most appropriate please review their profiles here or contact office@embracingnutrition.co.uk for advice.

Please note: Some tests require additional phlebotomy services, we can make recommendations based on your location, but the cost of phlebotomy, if required, is not included in the cost of the tests. See the details on the tests to see if they require blood samples.

If you request a refund on any unfulfilled Cyrex tests purchased via this website, refunds will be subject to a £40 Lab Fee
