Why we test

Laboratory profiles

Lab tests don't diagnose ADHD. They show which body factors, such as nutrients, blood sugar, gut health and stress hormones, may be making it harder to focus, sleep and regulate your mood.

How testing works

From consultation to results

  1. Agree the tests

    At your Discovery Consultation we agree which tests are worth doing, and the cost, before anything is ordered.

  2. Collect your samples

    Many kits can be done at home. Blood tests need a blood draw.

  3. Results come in

    The lab sends results to the clinic, ready for your Full Assessment.

  4. Understand them

    We explain your results in plain terms and build them into your 12-week plan.

Testing costs are quoted separately, before anything is ordered.

Test what matters, not everything

Testing is aimed at the body factors most likely to be affecting your ADHD.
