Digestive Nutritional Health Screen
This is an important screening if you are suffering from any kind of digestive problems. It involves a stool test which can reveal important information about the root cause of many common gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation.
This screen gives you important information on how well you are digesting and absorbing your food, the presence of yeast, bacterial or parasitic infections and the levels of your beneficial bacteria.
Our team of highly qualified nutritionists, all trained to the protocols of Dr Marilyn Glenville PhD, draw on their expertise to work with you to create the nutrition and lifestyle plan to achieve your goals. Your Nutritional Plan will provide you with specialist nutrition and lifestyle advice to help reduce your risk of disease and optimise your health needs.
The carefully selected tests in this Digestive Nutritional Health Screen will show you whether you are deficient in any of the important vitamins, minerals and essentials fats that are crucial for your health.
To discuss the Nutritional Health Screen in depth we invite you to a 15-minute discovery call with one of our nutritionitsts who will be able to answer your queries and help you decide the righ course of action for your needs.

Your Consultation
Your consultation will be with one of our highly trained and experienced nutritionists who will take you through your Menopause Nutrition Health Screen results to ensure you fully understand the findings. Your nutritionist will also recommend any changes in your diet and lifestyle to help you to achieve and maintain optimum health.
You will be sent a nutritional questionnaire ahead of the consultation and this will be reviewed by your nutritionist before your appointment to make the most of your consultation time. They will go through this with you in more detail during your consultation.
On confirmation of the Menopause Nutritional Health Screen, our clinic team will send you the test referral form. You will then be directed to our recommended laboratory to have your blood drawn so we can carry out the test. If you are unable to attend our recommended laboratory, we work with you to have the blood drawn at a more suitable location.
