The key to identifying & treating the root cause
Functional testing and pathology
As a science-based clinical naturopath, Jordyn utilises functional testing and pathology to better identify, understand and treat the root cause for dysfunction within the body. Access the tools you need to confidently manage your health.
How does it work?
Purchase the functional pathology test that you wish to complete below.
Within 48 hours, you will receive an email from ‘Cliniko’ which will contain an Intake Form for you to complete.
Once you’ve completed the Intake Form, your pathology referral will be requested through our third-party functional testing partners, who will send your testing kit to your home address as provided on your initial intake form.
When you receive the Testing kit, please ensure you read and follow the instructions carefully. There will also be directions on how to complete the return delivery included in the kit.
Once the kit is returned to our testing partner, results generally take 3-4 weeks.
Within 48 hours of the completion of the results by our testing partner, you will receive a call from The Health Refinery to schedule your Simple Consultation.
On the day of your consultation, you will be able to discuss your results and any questions that you may have with your practitioner. You will also receive a detailed report from your naturopath explaining your test results, the suggested treatment plan to correct any issues identified and access to practitioner-only products.
All prices listed below include an in-depth analysis and report of the test findings, a simple consultation to discuss the suggested treatment protocol as well as access to practitioner-only supplements to support you on your healing journey.
Please note that individual testing prices are set by the laboratory, not The Health Refinery. We add a fee to the total price of the test to cover admin, practitioner analysis, reporting and the simple consultation.
