Blood Tests

These tests provide valuable insights into mitochondrial and cellular function, making them a powerful diagnostic tool for doctors and researchers. While they are central to our ongoing research, they are not necessary for everyone. They are most beneficial for individuals who want to track the impact of diet, lifestyle changes, or supplements on mitochondrial and cell membrane health. Though they can be costly, these tests offer a detailed, data-driven approach to support for optimising energy production, nutrient utilisation, and overall wellness.

Unique Tests

These innovative laboratory tests provide a unique range of services, making various mitochondrial or cell membrane issues visible and, therefore, treatable. By offering the best in advanced laboratory diagnostics, we ensure they seamlessly complement our holistic approach to health and wellness. 

This data-driven approach informs our formulatory process, allowing us to integrate the best of functional medicine and holistic practices. Through a decade of testing and research, we have found that while each individual has unique needs, there are also a set of standard basics that apply to everyone, enabling us to create products that work universally to support optimal mitochondrial and cellular function.

Effective Dosing

The key to accurate dosing and the effectiveness of our products lies in understanding how you feel and tracking progress over time. While the foundational products support broad wellness, we also offer Tier 2 product options designed to provide additional support for those looking to help boost mitochondrial or cellular function even further. These advanced formulations are ideal for individuals who may need extra support based on their unique health needs, offering targeted solutions to help enhance energy production and overall cellular health. This approach ensures that whether you're looking for general wellness support or a more specialised solution, our products are designed to meet you where you are, empowering you to achieve your health goals.

Blood Tests Overview

Our comprehensive blood tests are designed to provide detailed insights into your cellular and metabolic health, helping you understand key biomarkers and how they influence overall wellness. By utilising these advanced testing methods, we can assess mitochondrial function, cellular metabolic performance, and fatty acid profiles, ensuring you are well-positioned to disucuss the details of a holistic approach to your health evaluation with your doctor or professional healthcare provider:

  • Mitochondria Activity Test:  This is crucial for assessing mitochondrial function, focusing on key parameters like Basal Respiration, Maximum Respiration, Maximum Reserve Capacity Factor, and ATP Production. These measurements offer an in-depth view of how efficiently your mitochondria are producing energy under different conditions, helping identify potential dysfunction that could impair cellular performance. Mitochondria are central to energy production and cellular health, and ensuring they are operating optimally is essential for maintaining vitality and supporting a healthy metabolism.
  • Cellular Metabolic Function Test: This assesses the health and efficiency of cellular processes. It evaluates how well cells are utilising nutrients and removing waste, which directly impacts energy production and detoxification. This test is important for understanding how your body is managing nutrients at the cellular level, ensuring that essential compounds, such as vitamins and minerals, are being absorbed and utilised effectively. When cellular metabolic functions are optimised, it leads to better overall health, improved energy levels, and enhanced detoxification capabilities, supporting your body’s natural healing processes.
  • Fatty Acid Measurement Test: This evaluates the composition of fatty acids in your body, which play a crucial role in the health of your cell membranes. These membranes are integral for nutrient transport, waste removal, and cellular communication. Fatty acids like Omega-3s and Omega-6s contribute to membrane fluidity, enabling efficient nutrient uptake and waste elimination. By analysing fatty acid profiles, we can assess whether cell membranes are in an optimal state to support mitochondrial function and overall cellular health. This test is used for tracking the impact of nutritional or supplement interventions and ensures that your body’s cellular and metabolic processes are functioning at their best.

Together, these tests provide a comprehensive evaluation of your cellular and mitochondrial health, giving a deeper understanding of how to optimise your body’s energy production, nutrient utilisation, and detoxification capabilities. This data-driven approach allows for precise, personalised recommendations to help you achieve and maintain optimal wellness.
