Camille partners with labs in New Zealand, US, UK, Australia, Europe and Asia to bring functional testing kits to your door.

There are hundreds of tests to choose from, and most can be done at home. Tests that evaluate stool, urine, blood, saliva and even breath that can uncover your genetic predispositions, nutrient status, hormone levels, microbiome balance, gut infections and toxic load, just to name a few.

Functional tests evaluate health status by measuring how the physiology of the body is functioning. Results help us address the WHY behind your symptoms, so we can start healing the root cause, rather than treating symptoms.

Often times, we can get to the root of your health conditions without testing, but for some complex chronic conditions, testing can save valuable time and get you on the path to healing faster.

We can also use functional testing to optimize health and prevent disease, as these tests allow us to identify imbalances BEFORE the disease state sets in. Examples of preventative tests include the TruAge bio-age test and Nutreval nutrient test, the DUTCH test and comprehensive thyroid testing.

For hormone imbalances, there is no beating the DUTCH test for men and the DUTCH test for women. This comprehensive test identifies sex hormones, stress hormones, and nutritional markers to better understand not just your hormone imbalances, but also what is driving them.

If you’ve got ongoing digestive symptoms, the SIBO and GI360 might be appropriate.

The Organic Acidsis really useful for those with chronic fatigue, long-COVID, chronic Lyme, post viral illnesses, mental health imbalances and fatigue.

The MycoTOX profile from Mosaic Diagnostics is an important test for identifying mold illness in those with chronic immune symptoms, including asthma, sinusitis, multiple food sensitivities and a host of other vague symptoms.

The vaginal microbiome test is used for those with recurrent yeast infections, bladder infections, vulval skin disorders and other vaginal infections.

Camille is trained in evaluating routine blood markers from a functional perspective. Naturopaths use OPTIMAL reference ranges rather than conventional AVERAGE ranges to identify imbalances.

Every initial consultation with Camille includes a full lab review and synopsis.

In addition to assessing each marker individually, naturopaths also look for patterns that can identify imbalances that may be contributing to symptom progression. This can often be identified and brought back into balance before a medical condition occurs. This is just one important aspect of preventative medicine.

For ongoing health conditions, markers are monitored closely to assess progress.

Patients are encouraged to share up to 3 years of lab results before the initial consultation for Camille to review.

If additional labs would be useful, Camille may request further labs be done.

If you are not working with a doctor, Camille can organize testing.

In some cases, Camille may recommend you do a few simple “tests” at home to assess aspects of your health. Though these are not diagnostic tests, they can provide useful information for evaluating and monitoring your health and healing progress.

These may include:

• Stomach acid test

• Basal body temperature

• Candida test

• Transit time test
