Identify food intolerances with the FACTest, probably the most accurate food intolerance test in the world

The FACTest is a blood sample-based food intolerance test that works by assessing your blood’s immune reaction to potential food irritants. Unlike electrical conductance tests (whereby an electrode is placed on your finger to “assess” your body’s “bioenergetical” reaction to foods) that have no scientific basis whatsoever, this test is based on immunology, an established science, and is performed by one of the largest diagnostic laboratories in the world.

Identify and treat digestive dysfunction with a parasitology, intestinal permeability or microbial dysbiosis test

Fatigue, poor concentration, depression, food intolerances, diarrhoea, indigestion, constipation, arthritis, eczema are some of the many conditions that may be caused by intestinal bacteria, yeast and parasites, and also by what is called “leaky gut syndrome”, a condition whereby toxins and undigested food particles enter your circulation through a “leaky” intestinal wall. Digestive function tests can establish the cause of the problem and indicate what nutritional changes and food supplements are necessary to correct the problem and re-establish digestive health again. Since 70% of your immune system cells are found in your digestive system, immune health can also benefit from an improved digestive function and the elimination of unhealthy organisms from the gut.

Assess and improve your whole body’s detoxification capacity

Detoxification depends not just on healthy liver function, but also the gut, the kidneys, the skin and literally all cells of the human body. Detoxification is a nutrient-dependent process and detox fasts and extreme fad diets deprive your body of the exact nutrients it needs to eliminate toxins. Liver detoxification capacity, vitamin and mineral deficiency and other tests can indicate what diet and lifestyle changes are necessary for the improvement of your detoxification ability and the elimination of toxins from your body.

Identify hormonal imbalances and balance your hormones naturally

Thyroid, estrogen, DHEA, cortisol and insulin imbalances can have an enormous impact on your energy levels, concentration levels, mood and overall health and are greatly affected by diet and lifestyle factors. Tests and nutritional advice are available to healthily, naturally and safely assess and improve your hormonal health.

Assess your artery stiffness - an accurate indicator of vascular ageing - with Digital Pulse Analysis

A famous anatomist once said that "A man is as old as his arteries" and this could not be further from the truth. Vascular ageing is the result of atherosclerotic plaque and calcium accumulation in the arteries and stiffening of the fibres of the vascular walls and muscles. Vascular aging is an accurate predictor of cardiovascular disease and in turn digital pulse analysis is an accuratenon intrusive assessment of arterial stiffness. The full test only takes 30' to and is even more comfortable that blood pressure taking.
