Clinical Testing: Your Targeted Roadmap to Root Cause Clarity
How Clinical Testing Drives Your Success
Clinical testing provides a crucial, evidence-based snapshot of what is happening inside your body at a specific moment in time. This valuable additional information moves your health assessment beyond symptoms, allowing us to build a nutrition and lifestyle plan that is truly targeted and effective.
By integrating functional testing into your programme, we gain clarity that empowers action, with testing enabling a more accurate assessment of your overall health and helping you achieve lasting wellness by:
🔍 Identifying Root Causes: Moving past surface-level symptoms to pinpoint the underlying imbalances—whether they are gut dysbiosis, hormonal shifts, nutrient deficiencies, or chronic inflammation.
🎯 Creating a Targeted Plan: Using precise data to inform a personalised nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement protocol that is tailored exactly to your body's specific needs and biochemistry.
🛡️ Being Proactive: Helping to identify and remedy potential issues, such as nutrient imbalances or high-stress hormone patterns, before they manifest as negative or debilitating physical symptoms.
📈 Measuring Progress: Providing objective markers that allow us to track the effectiveness of your health protocol over time, ensuring your investment yields measurable results.
The Eglin Methodology First: Testing as an Optional Add-On
We recognise that clinical testing is a further significant investment. Please be reassured that testing is not mandatory for our programmes. In many cases, clients achieve significant, measurable improvements by focusing exclusively on our foundational Eglin Methodology — a deep assessment based on the 4 Key Systems and 6 Pillars of Health.
Clinical testing is offered as an optional add-on for those seeking deeper biological data, a faster path to root cause identification, or for those dealing with highly complex, persistent conditions where the root cause remains elusive.
Our Process: We utilize a variety of non-invasive and minimally-invasive collection methods, including saliva, blood draws, finger-prick, dried urine, and stool samples, with all analysis conducted at reputable clinical laboratories.
Specific Clinical Tests: Uncovering Your Body’s Data
We use a targeted approach, selecting clinical tests that provide the most relevant, actionable data based on your symptoms, health history, and programme goals.
Gastrointestinal Health & Microbiome
These tests are essential for anyone experiencing chronic digestive symptoms (bloating, IBS, pain), as well as those with systemic issues like chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, or mood imbalances, as the gut is often the root cause.
-
Comprehensive Stool Analysis (CSA)
A detailed analysis of the GI ecosystem, checking for bacteria, yeasts, parasites, and markers for inflammation, immune function, and digestion.
-
SIBO / Breath Testing
Measures gases (hydrogen and methane) to detect Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) in the small intestine.
-
Fructose & Lactose Malabsorption
Identifies specific carbohydrate sensitivities that may be driving digestive distress.
Targeted Microbiome Analysis
While the Comprehensive Stool Analysis focuses on the digestive tract, specialised testing is available for other key microbial ecosystems in the body. These tests are vital for investigating recurrent, localised issues often tied to the mucosal immunity.
-
Bladder/Urine Microbiome
Analysis of the bacterial community in the urinary tract, essential for investigating chronic or recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and bladder pain.and the impact of chronic disease.
-
Vaginal Microbiome
Assessment of the microbial balance in the vaginal environment, used to investigate chronic thrush, bacterial vaginosis (BV), and reproductive health.
-
Oral Microbiome Analysis
Evaluates the bacterial, fungal, and viral balance in the mouth, linking oral health to systemic conditions like chronic inflammation and upstream gut issues.
Inflammation, Immunity & Food Triggers
Understanding immune responses to food and the body's general inflammatory load is critical for managing chronic conditions, skin issues, and unexplained symptoms.
-
C-Reactive Protein (CrP)
Measures systemic inflammation in the body. Elevated CrP is a key marker used to assess chronic conditions, cardiovascular risk, and the impact of chronic disease.
-
Food Intolerance (IgG Profiling)
Measures IgG antibodies to a wide range of foods (Omnivore, Vegetarian, or Vegan panels), helping identify chronic immune responses that may contribute to systemic ill health.
-
Food Allergy (IgE) & Gluten Sensitivity
Advanced testing to detect true allergic (IgE) responses and specific genetic markers for celiac disease/gluten reactivity.
Hormone Balance & Stress Resilience
These tests provide deep insight into the body’s endocrine systems, vital for managing energy, sleep, mood, fertility, and dealing with the impacts of chronic stress or intense training.
-
Comprehensive Hormone Testing (DUTCH)
Provides insight into sex hormones, their metabolites, adrenal hormones (cortisol), and detoxification pathways. Cycle mapping is available for fertility/menstrual issues.
-
Adrenal Stress Profiling
Measures cortisol patterns across the day to assess chronic stress load, burnout risk, and how stress impacts sleep and energy.
-
Advanced Thyroid Panel
Measures key markers (TSH, free T4, free T3, total T4, and antibodies) to provide a complete picture of thyroid health, which is critical for metabolism and energy.
Foundational Health & Metabolic Function
These panels look at core biological function, metabolism, and nutrient status, often revealing fundamental issues that impact energy, immunity, detoxification, and long-term vitality.
-
Comprehensive Blood Chemistry
Advanced assessment of key foundational health markers, including nutrient status (e.g., Vitamin D, B12, Ferritin), lipids, and cardio-metabolic markers (the Cardio Check).
-
Organic Acids Testing (OAT)
Valuable for identifying underlying metabolic issues, nutrient deficiencies, detoxification capacity, mitochondrial function, and microbial imbalances (yeast/mould) contributing to low energy and mood.
-
Advanced Nutritional Analysis
Measures the functional status of key vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants using a combined blood draw and urine sample. It offers deep insight into long-term cellular nutrient status, metabolic function, and deficiencies.
🎯 Stop Guessing. Start Targeting.
Clinical testing provides the precise biological data required to uncover your root cause and build a 100% personalised nutritional protocol.
Investment in Your Health 💰
We are committed to full transparency regarding testing costs. Clinical testing represents a further significant investment in your long-term health, and the price varies considerably depending on the specific test and the complexity of the lab analysis required.
Please Note: The cost of all clinical testing is additional to your 90-Day Programme fees and will be discussed and agreed upon with you before any test is ordered.
