FRIDAY 5 - Functional Testing in Autoimmune Disease

Send us Fan MailHave you ever wondered what might be at the root of your symptoms, but the test your doctors run keeps saying everything is ‘normal’, even though you struggle with daily inflammatory symptoms like brain fog, fatigue and skin irritations? If so, I would like to chat with you about functional testing because I was also frustrated when I started my path to better health. However, unlike many of my clients, I did have some out-of-range numbers in my doctor’s testing, but they didn’t know why.After many times of going back and forth to the doctors and endocrinologists, with no treatment options provided, I decided to take my health into my own hands. And that is when I discovered functional testing. In this Friday 5 episode, I will share with you the functional tests that enabled me to take a personalised approach to my diet and lifestyle so that I was able to reverse my symptoms of autoimmune disease. I now commonly use these tests with my clients to help them improve their health.Highlight's from today's episode include:The valuable health information in a full blood count. What a stool test can identify, and what impact that have in autoimmune disease and gut health?Why organic acids tests are helpful if you have chronic fatigue syndrome. Hormone testing and its relevance in autoimmune disease. Why the cortisol awakening response is vital in autoimmune disease.How to test for autoantibodies and be proactive in your health, diet and lifestyle. And you can read more about 'Functional Testing in Autoimmune Disease' in this article.Fancy working with me 1-2-1?
