Health Testing
Our body has markers that help to gain a clearer understanding of our level of health and well-being.
​
Annie has partnered with Steffen Messerschmidt, a natural medicine and holistic health practitioner of Total Health ‘From Inside Out' to offer health testing (urine and finger prick) to assess what are known important markers of health and risk of disease.
The urine and finger prick tests are quick with results being available in the same visit. The testing session will be up to one hour in total, including a brief wait for test results.
​
Tests include:
Urine testing for:
-
Heavy metals and toxicity
-
Chelation ability to absorb & eliminate minerals
-
Digestive health and bacterial growth
-
Acid-alkaline levels
-
Hydration levels
-
Inflammation markers for kidney, bladder and urinary tract
-
Elevated liver enzymes
-
Ability to digest protein
-
General infection & inflammation markers
Finger prick testing for:
-
Oxidative Stress
-
Free Oxygen Radical Test (FORT) - free radical levels
-
Free Oxygen Radical Defence (FORD) - antioxidant/defense levels
-
Reduction-Oxidation-Reaction (REDOX) - oxidation-reduction state and cardiovascular risk assessment
-
Haemoglobin levels
Annie and Steffen use the Callegari CR3000 unit for the finger-prick tests which offers accurate and timely results . Research shows oxidative stress to be an important risk factor in the onset of non-communicable disease.
