Premier Functional Medicine Testing

North Shore, Auckland & Telehealth Virtual Consultations

We offer a wide range of Functional Medicine Tests at Premier Osteopathy & Functional Medicine. Each test is designed to address your relevant underlying functional health imbalances. This allows us to very specifically tailor and individualise your treatment plan and proactively support and manage your whole body approach to wellness.

Organic Acids Testing

Urine Test

The Organix Comprehensive Profile is a nutritional test providing insights into organic acids and a view into the body’s cellular metabolic processes. Identifying metabolic blocks that can be treated nutritionally allows individual tailoring of interventions that maximise patient responses and lead to improved patient outcomes.

The Organix Comprehensive nutritional test profile provides vital patient information from a single urine specimen. This organic acids nutritional test is valuable for determining:

• Functional vitamin and mineral status

• Amino acid insufficiencies like carnitine and NAC

• Oxidative damage and antioxidant need

• Phase I & Phase II detoxification capacity

• Functional B-complex vitamin need

• Neurotransmitter metabolites

• Energy mitochondrial production

• Methylation sufficiency

• Lipoic acid and CoQ10 status

• Markers for bacterial, cloistral, fungal and yeast overgrowth

• Fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism

• Inflammatory markers

• Stress markers

Abnormally high or low levels of these indicators can cause fatigue, pain conditions, sleep issues, neurological disorders, inflammation, behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, chronic illness and immune function issues.

If abnormalities are detected using the OAT your Premier Functional Medicine Practitioner will design you a unique treatment plan. Your treatments plan can include supplements, such as vitamins and antioxidants, or dietary modification and lifestyle changes.

Upon treatment, patients have reported significant improvement such as decreased fatigue, regular bowel function, increased energy and alertness, increased concentration, improved verbal skills, less hyperactivity, and decreased abdominal pain. The OAT is strongly recommended as the initial screening test.

Advance Nutri-Stat Organic Acid Testing

Urine and Fasting Blood Test

The Nutri-STAT profile is the most comprehensive test designed to assist in improving nutritional and metabolic health through a simple blood and urine sample. This report covers an extensive range of biomarkers involved in metabolic health, thyroid health, cardiovascular health, and hormone health. This panel also includes an in-depth analysis of mineral and metal status, essential fatty acids, amino acids, organic acids and many more. Due to the diverse range of analytes measured in this profile it can be suitably requested for individuals with many different conditions and for those who wish to identify functional nutritional needs.
