Functional Testing
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual. At the heart of functional medicine is the ability to run advanced functional testing which is usually carried out by either a blood, stool, urine, hair or saliva sample. With the use of functional tests, we are able to find the root cause of most conditions as we learn more about what is happening in the body and can target treatment appropriately.

Genetic testing - Methylation & Nutrient Core
Methylation is the process of adding methyl groups, consisting of one carbon and three hydrogen atoms, to other molecules. It is involved in almost every metabolic process in the body, occurring billions of times every second in our cells and contributing to numerous crucial functions. Imbalances in methylation - too little or too much - can increase susceptibility to chronic health conditions such as heart disease, circulatory problems, chronic fatigue, mood and psychiatric disorders, as well as premature ageing.
The nutrient core profile analyses how gene variants can affect food tolerance (and intolerance), appetite control and blood sugar balance, caffeine metabolism, vitamin and mineral needs, detoxification ability, and susceptibility to inflammation and infection.

REVIEWS
Zara has been amazing to work with! She is easy to talk to, understanding and listens intently. I came to her with gut issues which had led to acne and weight gain and I’m happy to say that not only have my gut issues significantly improved so has my skin! I will continue to see Zara and highly recommend you do too.

Since starting my health journey with the clinic since the beginning of last year, I have come through leaps and bounds, which I couldn't have done without the help from my practitioner Zara. Through diet and supplements, I have been able to 'naturally' improve my thyroid and adrenal health, without the need for pharmaceutical drugs which is very important to me. I have consistently received great support and service and couldn't recommend the clinic highly enough!

I highly recommend visiting this clinic. Both my happiness and health has improved immensely with my practitioner Zara, and I can only thank her for all of her patience with me. Zara has such a kind and considerate heart, her approach is one that is so understanding and highly expert with her knowledge. I’ve felt so comfortable throughout my sessions and gained a huge insight into my own health and diet, which in turn, has helped me both physically and mentally. Thank you LCON team and Zara for your kindness and help throughout my journey!
