It’s the last episode of the season!! This episode is all about how functional testing can be used to delve deeper into what is happening in the body. Integrative nutrition and lifestyle techniques can then be applied in a specific and focused manner that is unique to the individual, i.e. you! There is a lot you can tell from your symptoms, these will certainly give a picture of what is going on, but there are a variety of tests that a functional practitioner can use to understand where the imbalances are occurring in the body. In this episode I talk about five types of tests that are great for women with Endometriosis trying to get pregnant. These include blood tests, three types of microbiome tests, including the gastro-intestinal (GI) system, and urine and saliva tests for comprehensive hormone testing in the form of the DUTCH test.
Here are the key episode highlights:
- Power of a good health history
- Blood tests to understand minerals, vitamins, thyroid, blood sugar, complete blood count, liver function and basic hormones
- Gastro-intestinal tract health and microbiome testing
- Oral health and microbiome
- Vaginal health and microbiome
- Comprehensive hormone testing using the DUTCH test
If you want to know how you can use testing to help really find out what is going on with your health, your Endometriosis and fertility, then you really must listen to this episode.
If you want to do any of these tests and want to work with me, I offer 1:1 coaching either as a programme, or as testing packages. To find out more book yourself a FREE 30 minutes Discovery Call to discuss further.
Season 2 of Endo Fertility will continue in February 2021. Don’t forget I will still be posting on Instagram and in my FB group.
Finally, my plan is to launch a Group Program in January, with a free masterclass before hand – so you can get to know my style (now delayed to early March due to COVID) – watch out for news of this on instagram and in my newsletter.
