Functional Testing

find out

If functional testing is suitable for you

Dr. Meyer may request that you receive further standard diagnostic blood work either independently or from your general practitioner, such as testing for vitamin (e.g. folate, vitamin B12, D) and mineral deficiencies (e.g. iron), checking inflammatory markers, hormone levels, blood sugar, cholesterol, prostrate markers, thyroid hormone levels etc.

In addition to standard testing, functional testing can also be recommended, such as food sensitivity tests, the DUTCH test which measures female hormones, Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) breath test for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) sufferers, extensive bowel function testing to ascertain functioning of the bowel and presence of permeable gut/ leaky gut, DNA testing to assess detoxification status and metabolic conditions and more.

What clients say

This was absolutely great, an online consultation done very professionally and did not feel pressured or awkward at all. Dr Julia Meyer makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Secondly her advice and feedback was fantastic, I am seeing results and feel great again. Would definitely recommend you give her a try.

“I can’t say enough good things about Julia. She really helped me get a handle on my Hashimoto’s and with some proper troubleshooting, helped me discover the severity of my tomato allergy, which was something I hardly considered. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, but what really stood out was how kind and patient she was throughout the whole process. It didn’t feel overwhelming because she made everything so approachable and tailored it to me. Honestly, I feel so much better, and I’m so glad I found her. If you need someone who genuinely cares and knows their stuff, she’s the one.”

“Since I started working with Julia, I’ve noticed significant positive changes in my overall well-being. The addition of organic black maca powder to my morning smoothie, which Julia thoughtfully crafted to suit my nutritional needs, has left me feeling more energized and ready to take on the day. Additionally, incorporating seed cycling into my daily routine has brought welcome improvements, especially in helping to normalize my previously erratic menstrual cycle. I’m truly pleased with the results and grateful for Julia’s personalized and holistic approach to nutrition.”

“I had been struggling with autoimmune-related skin and joint issues, along with constant low energy, for quite some time. That is when I discovered Julia, a nutritionist who guided me toward the right lifestyle changes. Her practical suggestions were easy to incorporate into my daily routine—simple adjustments that have made a huge difference. She also provided excellent tips on exercise and movement, complementing her holistic approach. I have already started to feel better, and I’m excited to continue working with her. I can’t recommend Julia enough!”
