Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis

What is it Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis?

Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis (FBCA) is the process by which blood biomarkers are organised, analysed, and interpreted. FBCA provides a comprehensive assessment of the state of health in the main functional systems and the supporting accessory systems of the body. It also gives us a window into the nutrient status of the body and whether you are trending towards or away from optimal health.

The Functional Approach...

The functional approach to chem screen and CBC analysis is oriented around changes in physiology and not pathology. We use ranges based on optimal physiology, not the "normal" population. This results in a tighter "Functional Physiological Range," which allows us to evaluate the area within the "Normal" reference range to detect patients with changes in physiological "function." We can identify the factors that obstruct the patient from achieving optimal physiological, biochemical, and metabolic functioning in their body.
Another thing that separates the Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis from the Traditional approach is we are not simply looking at one individual biomarker at a time in a linear report of the data. Rather, we use trend analysis between the individual biomarkers to establish a client's otherwise hidden trend towards or away from a functional health optimal.

Why Blood Testing?

Blood has a lot to tell us about our state of health and the blood chemistry and CBC / hematology test is the most commonly ordered medical lab test worldwide. These blood tests are an integral part of Western clinical medicine and are used to aid in the diagnostic decision making process. Patients understand and are educated that blood testing is the norm for health assessment.

However, many people feel unwell long before a traditional blood test becomes diagnostic. More often than not, our patients are told by their physician that "everything on your blood test looks normal."

Normal is not Optimal...


Most patients who feel "unwell" will come out "normal" on a blood test. Clinical experience suggests that these people are by no means "normal" and are a far cry from being functionally optimal. They may not yet have progressed to a known disease state but they are what we call dys-functional, i.e. their physiological systems are no longer functioning properly and they are starting to feel un-well.

The issue is not that the blood test is a poor diagnostic tool, far from it. The issue is that the reference ranges used on a traditional lab test are based on statistics, not on whether a certain value represents good health or optimal physiological function. The problem is that "normal" ranges represent "average" populations rather than the optimal level required to maintain good health. Most "normal" reference ranges are too broad to adequately detect health problems before they become pathology and are not useful for detecting the emergence of dysfunction.

The Functional Health Report...

The Functional Health Report uniquely organises and creates an interpretation providing a comprehensive insight and assessment into the state of previously hidden health trends of the main body systems, its supporting body accessory systems, along with reporting on the status of key nutrients and trends to and from clinical dysfunction.

The Assessment section is at the very heart of the Functional Health Report. It is here that the findings of the risk analysis are presented.

The Functional Body Systems and Accessory reports show the risk of dysfunction in the various physiological and supporting accessory systems in your body.

Each Body System that has a probability of dysfunction above 50% is included in the section that follows so you can read a detailed description and individual explanation of the results shown in this report.

The Nutrient Status report gives you an indication of your general nutritional status and the Nutrient Deficiencies report shows the risk of deficiency for individual nutrients.

This report gives you an indication of your general nutritional status. The Nutrient Status is influenced by actual dietary intake, digestion, absorption, assimilation, and cellular uptake of the nutrients themselves.


Each of the assessment reports is accompanied by a section that contains detailed descriptions and explanations of the results presented in each of the reports specific section.

Find out what your blood really says about you! Trying to achieve the goals you want can be really difficult... especially when your body is not functioning optimally. Even though you may feel unwell, or maybe "not normal", you've been told that everything is in range. If you want to find out where your health is sitting functionally, metabolically & physiologically, then I may be able to help you! I offer two options to receive a Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis...

ONLINE OR IN-CLINIC

Standard FBCA Package

Two short consultations either online or in-clinic. The first is to discuss what pathology you require from your doctor or other health practitioner... or to provide results that you already have.  The second consult is to review the Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis & discuss any further action to be taken.
ONLINE OR IN-CLINIC

VIP - FBCA Package

Two short consultations either online or in-clinic. The first is to discuss what pathology you require & provide you with a referral for them. As part of this package, an extensive referral is included with approx 37 markers tested. Please note: you do have the option to add further markers to these at cost, if required. The second consult is to review the Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis & discuss any further action to be taken.
