Functional Medicine Testing
When standard results come back 'normal' but you don't feel well, functional testing often fills in the missing pieces. Amina chooses the right tests for you, never testing for the sake of it.
Book a ConsultationFunctional medicine testing is often what finally makes sense of a complex picture. Time and again, people arrive having been told their results are "normal" while they clearly feel unwell. The right functional tests can fill in the missing pieces, so your treatment can be precise rather than guesswork.
Amina Eastham-Hillier uses testing thoughtfully. She recommends only what is likely to add real clarity for you, and chooses the most appropriate laboratory for each test.
What testing can reveal
Testing is selected to suit your situation. Commonly used options include:
Gut and digestive health
- Comprehensive stool and gut microbiome analysis
- SIBO breath testing (hydrogen, methane and hydrogen sulphide)
- Parasite, candida and H. pylori testing
Stealth and chronic infections
- Lyme Borreliosis and co-infection panels
- Viral and bacterial markers
Environmental and inflammatory
- Mould (mycotoxins) and ERMI home testing
- Inflammatory and immune markers
Hormones, nutrients and genetics
- DUTCH and saliva hormone profiling
- Thyroid, nutritional and metabolic markers
- Heavy metals and toxic-element screening
- Nutrigenomic (genetic) profiling
How testing fits your plan
Testing is never the goal in itself. It is one input that, combined with your history and how you feel, shapes an individualised plan of herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle support. Where useful, Amina also draws on functional testing to plan proactively around the susceptibilities your results suggest.
Working together
Most patients begin with a thorough initial consultation, where Amina determines what, if anything, is worth testing. Results are then interpreted with you, so you understand what they mean and what to do next.

Common questions
Good to know
At your consultation, Amina reviews your history and symptoms and recommends only the tests likely to add real clarity for your situation, along with the most appropriate laboratory. Testing is always optional and discussed with you first.
Often it is complementary. Functional testing can look more deeply at areas such as the gut microbiome, mould toxins, stealth infections and detailed hormone or nutrient status. It works alongside your medical care, not instead of it.
No. Most testing can be arranged for patients across Australia and internationally, with sample collection done locally to you. Amina interprets the results with you during your consultation.
Testing adds valuable pieces to the puzzle, but it is interpreted in the context of your whole picture. It guides an individualised plan rather than providing a single definitive answer.
