Lab Testing

Why We Use Lab Testing

At Adelaide Naturopathic we’re dedicated to helping you achieve optimal health and wellbeing through natural, holistic approaches. One of the tools that the clinic uses to assist in diagnosing and treating health issues is laboratory testing. The use of lab testing allows us to gain a deeper understanding of your overall health and identify any underlying issues that may be contributing to your symptoms.

Lab testing can provide valuable information about your overall health, as well as specific information on certain body systems. Testing then allows our Naturopath to create a personalised treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your health issues. This can include targeted supplementation, dietary changes, and other natural therapies.

In addition to providing diagnostic information, lab testing can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment over time. By regularly testing and monitoring a patient’s health markers, our Naturopaths can make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed to ensure that you’re making progress towards your health goals.

Are Our Naturopath Tests Science Based?

At Adelaide Naturopathic we only recommend and run tests which have scientific backing and clinical relevance. To ensure that we get the most accurate and helpful information possible regarding your health issues, we only use a reputable science-based lab for all our testing. 

Interpretation of these lab tests can differ between Naturopathic practitioners. However, our practitioners have had extensive training and clinical experience in interpreting these results which means you’re in good hands. 

Adelaide Naturopathic also prioritizes ongoing education and training for their Naturopaths. This ensures that the clinic stays up-to-date on the latest research and advances in the field of natural medicine, so that patients receive the most effective and evidence-based treatments possible.

What Lab Tests do Naturopaths run?

Naturopaths may run a variety of lab tests depending on your health concerns and symptoms.  We have a wide variety of different functional pathology tests available that we can offer you to help get to the bottom of your health issues.

 Some of the most common tests we run are:

  • Microbiome Mapping
  • SIBO Breath Test
  • Cortisol Testing
  • Male Hormone Testing
  • Female Hormone Testing

Our Naturopath can also help interpret any pathology testing you may have had done through another clinic or Naturopath. Just be sure to send it through to us prior to your appointment.

Are Naturopath Tests Covered Under Medicare or Private Health?

In Australia, unfortunately any referral for pathology testing by a Naturopath is not covered under medicare or private health at the time of writing this.  Please do confirm this with your private health insurance 

This means testing is an expense for the patient to pay in full. We are hoping this will change soon!

Your Naturopath may recommend you get certain testing through your GP or medical specialist. This may be covered under medicare. Your Naturopath will talk you through this and will communicate pricing and additional information you may need during your appointment.

Overall, the lab tests run by Adelaide Naturopathic are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of your health and identify any underlying issues that may be contributing to your symptoms. By using  different lab tests, our naturopaths can create personalised treatment plans that address the root cause of your health issues, rather than simply treating your symptoms.
