Women’s Health+ goes beyond traditional hormone testing to provide a comprehensive picture of the factors influencing your health. By assessing hormone balance, stress response, oestrogen metabolism, nutritional status, gut health and key metabolic pathways, this advanced functional medicine test helps uncover potential drivers of complex symptoms rather than simply measuring hormone levels.
It may be particularly useful for women experiencing fatigue, PMS, irregular cycles, fertility concerns, mood changes, poor stress resilience, brain fog or perimenopausal symptoms. The results provide personalised insights that can help guide more targeted nutrition, lifestyle and supplement strategies, reducing guesswork and supporting long-term wellbeing.

Women’s health is influenced by far more than hormone levels alone. Energy, mood, menstrual health, fertility, stress resilience and healthy ageing are shaped by the complex relationship between hormones, nutrition, metabolism, detoxification and lifestyle.
Women’s Health+ brings these pieces together in one comprehensive assessment. Using saliva and urine samples, the test evaluates sex hormones, cortisol patterns, oestrogen metabolism and a broad range of functional health markers linked to nutrient status, mitochondrial function, methylation, gut health, oxidative stress and detoxification.
Rather than simply showing whether hormone levels are high or low, the report helps uncover why imbalances may be occurring. It identifies patterns that may be contributing to symptoms such as fatigue, PMS, irregular cycles, fertility concerns, mood changes, poor stress resilience, brain fog and perimenopausal symptoms.
The results are presented in a clear, clinically actionable format, highlighting key areas requiring support and providing practical recommendations that can help guide personalised nutrition, lifestyle and supplement strategies. By assessing multiple interconnected systems in a single report, Women’s Health+ can help reduce guesswork and provide a more complete understanding of the factors influencing your health and wellbeing.

Oestrogen Metabolism: Assesses how your body processes and clears oestrogen, helping provide insight into hormone balance, methylation activity and oestrogen metabolism pathways. Includes: Estrone, Oestradiol, Estriol, 2-OH(E1+E2), 16α-OHE1, 4-OH(E1+E2), 2-MeO(E1+E2), 4-MeO(E1+E2), 2-OH(E1+E2)/16α-OHE1 Ratio and 2-OH/2-MeO Ratio.
Nutrient Requirements: Assesses functional markers linked to vitamin, mineral, antioxidant and cofactor requirements that may influence hormone health, energy production and overall wellbeing. Includes: B-vitamin markers, mineral markers, antioxidant markers and nutrient need assessments.
Mitochondrial Function & Energy Production: Assesses markers involved in cellular energy production, metabolic efficiency and mitochondrial health. Includes: Organic acid markers associated with carbohydrate metabolism, fatty acid metabolism and the citric acid cycle.
Gut Health & Dysbiosis: Assesses markers associated with digestive health, microbial balance and potential bacterial or yeast overgrowth. Includes: Dysbiosis markers, yeast and fungal markers, digestive support markers and microbiome-related metabolites.
Methylation: Assesses pathways involved in methylation, an essential process that supports hormone metabolism, neurotransmitter function, detoxification and cellular health. Includes: Folate, vitamin B12 and methylation-related organic acid markers.
Neurotransmitter Health: Assesses markers involved in the production and metabolism of neurotransmitters linked to mood, cognition, focus and emotional wellbeing. Includes: Serotonin, dopamine and kynurenine pathway metabolites.

Be aware that:
You’ll need to plan your sample collection carefully following the instructions. You’ll be required to take multiple samples, time them around your cycle (if relevant) and ensure the samples reach the lab at the appropriate time.
Multiple urine & multiple saliva samples.
Once the Lab has received your sample we’ll let you know your estimated results date. You’ll be invited to join our online portal, Practice Better, where you can receive secure communication from us. Once your results are in we’ll share them with you via the portal. If you’d like additional support after reviewing your results you’ll be able to purchase a consultation with a certified practitioner at this stage.
Turnaround times vary depending on the test. We aim to process and submit your order to our provider within 2 working days. Test kits are promptly dispatched, and most samples can be collected and returned as soon as you're ready. Some tests may have specific requirements, such as timing around menstruation or return days. These details can be found under "How do I prepare for the test?" and in your kit. Estimated turnaround times refer to how long it takes to analyse your sample once it’s received at the laboratory.
All at-home test kits include clear instructions for sample collection and return, along with necessary packaging. Some tests require you to return the sample on specific days or immediately after collection. Most kits include pre-paid return labels, but some may require you to arrange a prepaid courier collection. Review the instructions carefully before collecting your sample and refer to the contact details in your kit for any questions.
Your kit will come with full instructions and some include video guides. We can support with queries and we encourage you to contact us using the link below before collecting your sample to ensure it can be effectively analysed.
We offer functional testing with and without practitioner interpretation. You can filter tests by consultation on the Functional Testing page. Certain tests, especially those involving clinically significant biomarkers, are only available with interpretation, and some require interpretation by an Integrative Medicine Doctor. We’ll ensure you’re seen by the right practitioner when your results are in. You can purchase a consultation later if you choose standalone testing, but we offer preferential rates for booking upfront.
We provide functional testing to help you make informed health decisions but do not offer medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Results are interpreted through a nutritional, lifestyle, and functional medicine perspective, and it is your responsibility to seek further evaluation, diagnosis or treatment from your primary healthcare provider.
Your digital results report will include indicators of how your specific results differ or align with ‘optimal’ ranges in functional medicine. Some reports include an element of written interpretation. If you’ve purchased a consultation we’ll explain your results and interpret them from a nutritional, lifestyle and functional medicine perspective. We may offer suggestions about how Integrative or Functional Medicine can help and can refer you for full consultation or Integrative Health Assessment with a relevant practitioner if desired. If your test includes a clinically significant biomarker and your result is abnormal, we’ll direct you to consult your primary healthcare provider. If you haven’t purchased a consultation and you’re concerned about your results, you’ll be able to opt-in at this stage.
