Fresh Unspun Urine Testing

In some cases chronic urinary tract infections can result from poorly treated infections, where the bacteria imbed in the bladder and can be difficult to identify by regular culture methods. Symptoms can include urinary frequency, pain on urinating, bladder and flank pain, and symptom may aggravate after intercourse, premenstrually and post-menopause.

This test is done on first voided urine and ideally done within 15 minutes of collection. This test is recommended by Professor Malone-Lee’s Harley St clinic in London and influences treatment recommendations. “The white cell count is the best marker of urinary infection known, if it is conducted on an immediately fresh, unspun, unstained specimen of urine examined using a microscope and a haemocytometer counting chamber” (4). The epithelial cell count (the cells that line the bladder) indicate whether there has been a response to treatment in chronic UTIs with long term antibiotic treatment.

Bioimpedance Testing (MetaScan, Quadscan Testing)

The quadscan is a registered medical device that is used to assess your body composition. It assesses your muscle, fluid and fat mass along with the vitality of your cells, providing important insights into your health. It’s a quick test and a 3 page report is provided to provide valuable information and support and monitor your individually designed health program.

Live Blood Testing by a Qualified Medical Scientist

The screening process uses a drop of blood seen by a microscope to visualise the condition, size, shape and ratios of red and white cells and platelets in blood and can help determine:

Signs and severity of inflammation
Specific nutritional requirements
Oxidative stress and cellular damage
Immune system activity
Liver stress and detoxification needs

Genetic Profiling

Your Genetic profile can identify health predispositions that can be positively modified by dietary, nutritional and lifestyle interventions. You want to switch on (upregulate) ‘good’ genes like anti-inflammatory and detoxification genes and dampen (or down regulate) ‘unfavourable’ genes like ones that influence oxidative stress, high blood pressure and weight gain.

After taking a sample of DNA from a cheek swab, you receive you Fitgenes’ Health & Wellbeing Report – a comprehensive analysis of your personal genetic profile with how those variants in your genes can influence your fitness and your general health.

Personalised program can be recommended with optimal dietary, supplemental and lifestyle choices suited to your DNA.

The Fitgenes Health and Wellbeing Report aims to identify any of your variants in key genes of major physiological pathways that may influence the way your body functions, and how it responds to what you eat, how you exercise, and how you live your life, as well as your risk for numerous health issues related to these pathways.

Extensive Functional Testing Options

Depending on what health concern your have, various functional tests may be recommended:

To test for 22, 132 or 176 foods with a simple finger prick specimen of blood (can be done at home or in clinic)
