Functional testing

The diagnostics that shape your protocol

We don't guess. Every program is built around what your body is actually telling us, gathered through a small, carefully chosen set of functional tests.

How we use testing

Five tests selected, not stacked

From your Discovery, Alessandra picks the one or two tests that will actually sharpen your protocol, sends the kits home, and integrates the results with your full clinical picture. No batch ordering. No data for the sake of data.

How it works

From symptom to signal in three steps

01

Selected during your Discovery

Alessandra reviews your full picture and identifies which one or two tests will actually sharpen your protocol.

02

Kit sent home or drawn at lab

Cheek swab, urine, stool or blood — each test has a clear, simple collection method.

03

Results integrated, protocol adapted

Findings are read against your symptoms and history, then woven into your next protocol update.

Alessandra's perspective
I don't run tests to confirm what I already know. I run them when the answer will change what we do next. That is the only test worth doing.

Where the science is actually run

Nordic Laboratories

Nordic Laboratories

Specialist functional-medicine laboratory based in Denmark. PCR-based panels, dried-urine hormone metabolites, organic-acid metabolomics, and SNP genotyping across the four primary tests we run.

Lab partner · TBD

Swiss accredited medical laboratory

Standard venous blood draw at a partner lab in Valais, with results read in functional reference ranges alongside the lab clinical ranges. Lab partner published once finalised.

Practical questions

What people ask us before testing

No. Most people run one or two. Alessandra picks based on what your Discovery already revealed. Stacking tests for the sake of it is not how we work.
