FOOD SENSITIVITY PROFILE
Food sensitivities are the underlying culprit in many disease states, especially those like Irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, constipation, diarrhoea, eczema, psoriasis, weight gain, mouth ulcers, chronic tonsillitis and other chronic conditions where the immune system seems to turn against you!
Food sensitivities can be hard to recognize at first because the symptoms can vary so greatly from one individual to the next. Many people live with minor or major symptoms of food sensitivities for years without ever really knowing what the cause is. A Food Intolerance Test helps to determine if there are any foods that you are eating that are acting like a stress to the body and thus are not being digested and absorbed and potentially contributing to your health concerns.
Using the Nutrition Care Food Detective Kit, our test detects specific IgG antibodies to 59 common foods (jncluding wheat, dairy, gluten, egg, nuts etc). Results are available on the same day and we will be able to start making dietary adjustments straight away.
The test only requires a small blood sample taken from a finger-prick.

HORMONAL TESTING
A simple, non-invasive Saliva Hormone Test is a very accurate way to assess your hormone levels. All testing is done through a registered Australian pathology laboratory. Once an assessment is completed an individual treatment plan can be established.
Signs that you may have a hormone imbalance include:
THYROID TEST
More than 1 in 10 older Australians have a thyroid disease, and 10% of the population have subclinical hypothyroidism (a sluggish thyroid without all the symptoms). Low thyroid can be missed during standard thyroid function tests. Your tiredness & weight gain may be due to a thyroid problem and it can be treated naturally. Most people with low thyroid feel tired, sluggish, fuzzy headed and have trouble losing weight. Thyroid problems may occur after a long period of stress, frequent illness, after pregnancy, breastfeeding or menopause and are common if thyroid problems run in your family.
Other symptoms include:
DIGESTIVE TESTS - COELIAC, LACTOSE & FRUCTOSE
Have you ever wondered if your digestive symptoms (bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, bloating, wind) were caused by gluten, lactose or fructose intolerance. Lindy offers testing, direct referral and dietary guidelines for these commonly experienced problems.
GENERAL PATHOLOGY TESTS
Direct referral is available for all standard pathology tests including Iron, Vitamin D, blood sugar and cholesterol.
