introducing the fertility testing menu.

Advanced functional testing designed to uncover what standard fertility investigations often miss.

let's talk testing

What is functional testing?

Testing that assesses how well the body is functioning as opposed to testing that just identifies the presence of markers of disease. The aim is to identify any deficiencies, excesses or imbalances in physiological functioning, put specific nutrition & lifestyle (and sometimes, supplement) strategies in place to help address these and ultimately, move towards restoring optimal health (including reproductive health). Yes, nutrition really is that powerful.

The functional fertility tests I recommend in clinic use the most advanced diagnostics on the market. They help me to understand what’s not quite working so I can make sure your bespoke nutrition, supplement and lifestyle strategies are just *insert chefs kiss*.

And don’t worry, you don’t need to second-guess which test is “the right one” for you. That’s my job. As your fertility detective, I look at your history, symptoms, blood work and goals first, and then recommend only the investigations that are most likely to give us meaningful, actionable insight. No overwhelm and no unnecessary testing, just the data that will genuinely help us make clear, confident decisions about your next steps.

  • Your thyroid plays a central role in ovulation, menstrual regularity and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Even subtle imbalances can disrupt ovulation or increase the risk of miscarriage, sometimes without obvious symptoms.

    This comprehensive screen goes far beyond a standard thyroid test. It assesses full thyroid function, screens for autoimmune activity, evaluates inflammatory markers and iron status, and measures key fertility nutrients including active B12, folate and vitamin D.

    The goal isn’t just to identify a diagnosis, it’s to understand what’s driving any imbalance(s) and give you a clear, personalised plan to address it.

    Includes:
    ✔ Home testing kit
    ✔ Full results interpretation
    ✔ 60-minute consultation
    ✔ Bespoke nutrition, supplement & lifestyle plan:

  • Often described as the gold standard in functional fertility testing, this is one of the most powerful ways to truly understand your hormones.

    Using 25 dried urine and 5 saliva samples collected at specific points throughout your cycle, this advanced assessment maps how your key sex hormones including oestradiol, progesterone and testosterone rise, fall and metabolise across the month.

    We’re not just looking at levels in isolation. We’re assessing timing, rhythm, production and clearance.

    Balanced hormones are essential for egg development, ovulation, implantation and cycle regulation. This test gives us a complete, dynamic picture of what’s really happening, removing guesswork and allowing your plan to be precisely targeted to your physiology.

    When we can see the pattern clearly, we can intervene strategically.

    Includes:
    ✔ Home testing kit
    ✔ Comprehensive results interpretation
    ✔ 90-minute deep-dive consultation
    ✔ Bespoke nutrition, supplement & lifestyle plan

  • Your gut does far more than digest food. It regulates inflammation, influences hormone metabolism, supports immune balance and plays a direct role in fertility outcomes, implantation and pregnancy health.

    Emerging research shows that disruptions in the gut microbiome can impact oestrogen clearance, thyroid function, nutrient absorption, egg and sperm quality and even miscarriage risk. Yet gut health is rarely investigated in conventional fertility care.

    This test provides an in-depth analysis of:
    • Bacterial balance and diversity
    • Inflammatory markers
    • Gut permeability (“leaky gut”)
    • Immune activation
    • Digestive function
    • The gut–hormone connection

    This is not a generic stool test. It gives us a clinical map of how your gut, immune system and hormones are interacting, allowing us to correct imbalances with precision rather than guesswork.

    If your fertility journey feels unexplained, complex or inflammatory in nature, this is often a powerful missing piece.

    Includes:
    ✔ Home testing kit
    ✔ Comprehensive results interpretation
    ✔ 75-minute consultation
    ✔ Bespoke nutrition, supplement & lifestyle protocol

  • The vaginal microbiome is a delicate ecosystem of bacteria and fungi that plays a critical role in reproductive health. When balanced, it supports conception, implantation and a healthy pregnancy environment. When disrupted, it can silently contribute to fertility challenges.

    Sex hormones directly influence the vaginal microbiome. If hormones are out of sync, this can alter the balance of protective “good” bacteria and lead to dysbiosis, an often-overlooked driver in infertility, recurrent miscarriage, endometriosis, recurrent urinary tract infections, bacterial vaginosis and even pre-term birth.

    This advanced test allows us to assess the composition and stability of your vaginal microbiome, identifying whether protective species are dominant and whether inflammatory or disruptive microbes are present.

    With clarity comes precision. If imbalances are found, we can implement targeted nutrition, supplement and lifestyle strategies to restore an optimal environment for conception and pregnancy.

    Includes:
    ✔ Home testing kit
    ✔ Full results interpretation
    ✔ 60-minute consultation
    ✔ Bespoke nutrition, supplement & lifestyle plan

  • Male fertility is influenced by far more than sperm count alone. The seminal microbiome (the community of bacteria within semen) plays a significant role in sperm quality, motility, DNA integrity and overall reproductive outcomes.

    An imbalance in the seminal microbiome (dysbiosis) has been linked to:
    • Reduced sperm motility
    • Increased DNA fragmentation
    • Inflammation
    • Failed IVF cycles
    • Recurrent miscarriage

    Yet it is rarely assessed in routine fertility investigations.

    This test analyses the bacterial profile within semen, identifying whether protective species are present and whether inflammatory or disruptive microbes may be impairing sperm health.

    When we understand the microbial environment, we can implement targeted strategies to reduce inflammation, optimise sperm quality and improve reproductive outcomes.

    Because fertility is always a team effort.

    Includes:
    ✔ Home testing kit
    ✔ Full results interpretation
    ✔ 60-minute consultation
    ✔ Bespoke nutrition, supplement & lifestyle plan.
