Fitzroy Therapeutics is pleased to announce we now offer functional health tests as part of our clinic’s services. These packages offer you a unique opportunity to assess your health through specific functional tests such as food allergies, liver detoxification profiles etc. In consultation with our fully qualified Naturopaths, the most appropriate tests can be determined in order to fully address your health concerns.
Functional Health Check Packages Include:
- 1 hr initial consultation with qualified Naturopath
- 1 hr follow-up consultation with Naturopath
- Specific health test of choice
All packages include a 1 hour initial consult with a Naturopath to help determine the most appropriate tests for you. Questions regarding the nature of the tests can be addressed at this consultation. The initial visit also provides your Naturopath with the opportunity to assess your health and subsequently suggest which functional tests may be more specific for you. For example, you may feel that the cause of your headaches are stress/tension however, the origin of the headaches may be food intolerances.
All packages include a 1 hour review consult with a Naturopath to discuss the results of your tests and to provide you with a comprehensive plan to help improve your health.
“Leaky Gut” (Intestinal Permeability) Test $290
This test aims to assess the integrity of the gut cells to determine if substances are passing through the gut wall that shouldn’t. Damage to the lining of the gut is associated with;
- Food intolerance/allergies
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, acne etc
- Digestive problems
- Arthritis
Testing for “leaky gut” can help identify whether this is an important factor contributing to your health problem and consequently allows for a more specific treatment plan.
Stress Profile $295.00
This saliva test gives an indication of your adrenal function. The adrenal glands produce the “stress” hormone cortisol. Altered levels of cortisol are indicative of acute or chronic stress. Prolonged stress can lead to adrenal exhaustion and a suppressed immune system. If you suffer from any of the following, this can be a worthwhile test to check and see if stress is the main cause;
- Fatigue
- Recurrent infections
- Sleep problems
- Weight problems
Hair Analysis $295.00
A hair analysis test is a simple test to screen for the presence of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, aluminium etc. If you have a high level of heavy metals this may impact your health in a number of ways including fertility, sperm quality, fatigue, allergies etc.
Functional tests can help pick up imbalances that you may have not been aware of previously and as a result these may be addressed with naturopathic treatment to help assist in achieving a better state of health.
Liver Detoxification Profile $310.00
This test is a great way of assessing the liver’s detoxification ability. The liver’s ability to detoxify chemicals, medications, hormones etc is an important factor in our overall health. If your liver is inefficient in detoxifying then a variety of symptoms or conditions may arise including;
- Fatigue

- Hormonal imbalances
- Recurrent infections
- Headaches, migraines

Allergic reactions to foods are usually easy to identify, however, delayed reactions (thought to be mediated through an IgG antibody response) are often more difficult to recognise.

Many health conditions can be associated with food intolerances including:
- Fatigue

- Eczema, dermatitis
- Irritable bowel syndrome
