Thyroid Test
(Basal Body Temperature)

This quick and effective home test was developed by leading Endocrinologist Broda Barnes, to facilitate the evaluation of hypothyroidism.
The reason it is so important to diagnose this condition is that like all glands within the body, it has far reaching effects on your entire being, whether it be psoriasis, depression, anxiety, weight gain, insomnia, hair loss, or chronic fatigue, the thyroid is one of the bodies master glands responsible for producing life enhancing hormones to bring you in a state of balance.

Helicobacter Pylori Testing
Helicobacter pylori, is a common bacterial infection that affects the stomach that is a common cause of peptic ulcers. In Australia, Helicobacter pylori infection is often acquired in late childhood. By age 30, one in five people have it, and by age 60, almost half the population is affected.
The test provides laboratory accuracy results for the detection of Helicobacter pylori within 5 minutes.

Celiac Testing
Celiac disease or Gluten sensitivity is a condition where by a specific protein (gluten) found in certain foods causes an intestinal "disturbance". Left unchecked, constant bombardment of these specific proteins on your body can eventually cause an immunological response within your body, thus resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, vomiting, depression, headaches, bone and joint pain, mouth ulcers, diarrhoea, breathlessness, bloating, skin problems, anaemia, wind and weight loss.
Biocard™ Celiac Test is an accurate finger tip blood test that only takes between 5 and 10 minutes. The test can also be used to easily monitor the effectiveness of a gluten free diet by retesting after 3 months.

Candida Testing
Many people suffer from Candida infections, but its wide ranging symptoms mean it’s often not diagnosed for some time.
Candida is the yeast (or fungus) responsible for a thrush infection. There are several species of Candida. The most common type, Candida Albicans, lives in all the body’s mucus membranes.
If your Candida levels become too high it can cause an infection, known as Candidiasis, which can lead to health problems anywhere in the body.
How can I tell if I have a Candida infection? Did you know that you don’t have to have the symptoms of thrush to be suffering from a Candida infection?

Maybe you just feel fatigued, hassled by allergies and infections, or perhaps brain fog or depression is getting you down. Candida infections can have all sorts of symptoms including: bloating, gas and digestive disorders, brain fog, depression, ear infections, eczema, fatigue, food allergies, headaches, joint pain, muscle weakness, nail infections, sinusitis, vaginitis….

When a Candida overgrowth takes hold, it excretes harmful toxins that circulate throughout the body, further weakening your immune system and creating havoc. It can also lead to a condition called ‘Leaky Gut Syndrome’, which causes food allergies and many health problems.

A Candida infection can become persistent, and is certainly something you’d hope to avoid. If you have an infection it’s important to get effective treatment so you can return to feeling healthy once more.

Fortunately, a lot of the treatment is very natural. Once we have confirmed a Candida infection is present, treatment generally follows these steps:

1. An anti-Candida diet - with herbs and nutrition to boost your immune system and kill the Candida infection. The diet is personalised for you after you complete a “Nutrition Appointment”.

2. Another blood test - to ensure that the Candida is no longer present.

3. Continue with the program - to boost your normal healthy bowel flora levels and your immune system, and address any other symptoms that may be contributing to poor health and vitality.

Treatment time varies depending on the severity of the Candida infection. Some people recover in four weeks, while others take a little longer.
