As a nutritionist and self-confessed health geek, I’m always intrigued by new functional testing models. With the New Year approaching, many of my patients are seeking more personalised, preventative ways to understand their health, so I was curious when I heard about OligoScan, a testing method that claims to uncover hidden imbalances that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Functional tests (diagnostic tools used to assess how well the body’s systems are working) are something we nutritionists often recommend, as there’s no better way to gain meaningful insight into a person’s health. By identifying deficiencies, imbalances, and dysfunctions, we can trace symptoms back to their root cause and uncover what’s happening inside the body.
