What is an at home labs test?

 

You may have noticed the word ‘labs’ a few times on my website and wondering what exactly this is and how it works. 

A laboratory (lab) test is a sample of your blood, urine, saliva or hair to get detailed information about your health. You will complete this with simple collection methods such as a finger prick or a sample of hair, urine or saliva.

During our appointment I will recommend what labs I think would be suitable for you based on your symptoms. These tests are so simple to do and you can do them from the convenience of your own home. All the labs kits come with detailed instructions so you know exactly what to do. Once you are done you simply return them in the mail.  From this you will receive a detailed report with all the findings/results.


The ‘Big 5’ Lab Tests

These are the exact labs that gave me the answers to the underlying root causes of why I wasn't well. I ran the “Big 5” and for the first time in my life I actually got an understanding of what was going on in my body at a deeper level. I would love others to be able to have this opportunity, to take control of their health and get the answers they need in order to re balance their body.
