Essential Functional Medicine Testing - Australia & Worldwide
At Jarrod Cooper-ND, we believe that understanding your unique health profile is the foundation of effective treatment and long-term wellness. Essential Functional Medicine testing plays a critical role in identifying the root causes of health challenges and tailoring a personalized approach to your care, for patients accross Australia and worldwide. By utilizing cutting-edge diagnostics and advanced functional testing, we uncover hidden imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms and overall health concerns.
Why is testing important?
Functional testing goes beyond standard medical diagnostics by providing a comprehensive view of your body’s internal systems. These tests enable us to identify patterns and root causes of dysfunction that may not appear in conventional medical assessments. With the insights gained, we can develop targeted interventions to restore balance and improve your health from the inside out.
Our Essential Testing services include:
Comprehensive Gut Health Testing
Your digestive system is at the core of your health. Our advanced stool and microbiome tests evaluate gut function, detect imbalances in gut bacteria, and identify conditions such as leaky gut, infections, or inflammation.
Our Approach Includes:
Advanced testing for mitochondrial health, infections, and deficiencies.
Personalized plans to optimize energy production.
Addressing stress and adrenal health for sustained resilience.
Hormone and Adrenal Testing
Hormonal imbalances can significantly impact your energy, mood, and overall wellbeing. Through saliva, blood, or urine testing, we assess adrenal function, reproductive hormones, and thyroid health.
Our Approach Includes:
Advanced testing for mitochondrial health, infections, and deficiencies.
Personalized plans to optimize energy production.
Addressing stress and adrenal health for sustained resilience.
Nutrient and Micronutrient Testing
Optimal health requires the right balance of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Our nutrient testing identifies deficiencies that may contribute to fatigue, cognitive decline, or weakened immunity.
Our Approach Includes:
Vitamin D, B12, and iron levels.
Antioxidant status and oxidative stress.
Essential fatty acid imbalances.
Food Sensitivity and Allergy Testing
Food sensitivities or intolerances can trigger inflammation and disrupt digestion, mood, and energy levels. We use advanced testing to identify problematic foods and guide dietary changes.
Our Approach Includes:
IgG-mediated food sensitivities.
Immune reactions to specific foods or additives.
Strategies for improving tolerance and healing the gut.
Cardiovascular and Metabolic Testing
Your heart and metabolic health are essential for longevity. These tests evaluate markers of cardiovascular function, cholesterol levels, and metabolic efficiency.
Our Approach Includes:
Risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.
Inflammatory markers linked to cardiovascular health.
Blood sugar and insulin resistance patterns.
Genetic and Functional Genomics Testing
Your genetics provide valuable insights into your health predispositions. Functional genomics testing helps us understand how your genes influence your body’s systems and how to optimize them.
Our Approach Includes:
Predisposition to certain diseases.
How you process nutrients, toxins, and medications.
Personalized strategies for maximizing genetic potential.
Organic Acids Testing
Organic acids testing provides a comprehensive overview of your metabolic pathways and cellular function. This test evaluates key markers related to energy production, detoxification, and gut health.
Our Approach Includes:
Metabolic imbalances affecting energy and mood.
Indicators of yeast or bacterial overgrowth in the gut.
Nutritional deficiencies impacting mitochondrial function and detox pathways.
Toxin, Mould and Heavy Metal Testing
Toxic exposures can disrupt multiple body systems. We offer testing to detect and address environmental toxins, mould, heavy metals, and chemical burdens.
Our Approach Includes:
Levels of heavy metals like mercury or lead.
Exposure to environmental chemicals.
Detoxification capacity of your body.
Extensive Blood Panels
Comprehensive blood testing is a cornerstone of functional medicine, providing deep insights into your metabolic health, inflammation levels, nutrient status, and key biomarkers that influence ageing, energy, and disease prevention.
Our Approach Includes:
Comprehensive Metabolic & Nutrient markers
Advanced Cardiovascular & Inflammation Testing
Comprehensive Hormone Panel
Blood Sugar & Insulin Sensitivity Testing
Inflammation & Immune Function Testing
Liver & Detoxification Markers
Longevity & Healthy Ageing
For Longevity & Healthy Ageing, several advanced functional medicine tests can provide insights into biological ageing, metabolic health, and disease prevention. These tests help create a personalized strategy to optimize lifespan and healthspan.
Our Approach Includes:
Biological Age Testing (Epigenetic Testing) – Measures DNA methylation patterns to determine your biological vs. chronological age and assess how well your body is ageing.
Telomere Length Testing – Evaluates the protective caps on your DNA, which shorten with ageing, to assess cellular longevity.
Genetic & SNP Testing for Longevity – Evaluates genetic variants (e.g., MTHFR, APOE, SIRT genes) that influence ageing, detoxification, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function.
Personalized health insights
With essential testing, you gain a detailed understanding of your health that empowers you to make informed decisions. With Jarrod Cooper-ND, you will be guided you through every step, from testing to personalized treatment plans that help you restore balance and achieve optimal health.
