Test interpretation session

All the test reports and biomarkers will have been reviewed in advance by your functional medicine practitioner, so your interpretation session will be time dedicated to take you through the learnings, educate you on the inner workings of these core bodily systems, as well as the opportunities you have to move your epigenetics in the direction of health.

• You’ll walk away with more insight and clarity about your body than you may have ever been exposed to before.

• If you have any functional testing or standard pathology reports or screens performed within the last 12 months, you’re welcome to send these to us in advance of your appointment in order for them to be considered in your interpretation.

Some functional test reports have AI generated results interpretation sections provided. Whilst these can be helpful, often they can be overwhelming or incomplete.

Being able to talk to a functional medicine practitioner about your results will empower you to see the modifications that can be made in the case of sub-optimal results, such as lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, or further testing if needed.

A professional interpretation can guide you on how to use your test results to optimise your overall health and wellbeing, rather than just addressing isolated issues.

A test interpretation session with a functional medicine practitioner will help you fully benefit from the investment you’ve made in collecting your health data. 

This appointment type is a great choice if you need to learn more about a complex lab test. If you wish to start a patient-practitioner relationship to solve your health challenge, we can share options on how to work with us at the end of your interpretation session. 

We understand that receiving health test results can be unnerving. To prepare for your session, it can be helpful to review the report beforehand and write down any questions or concerns you may have. During your session, let your practitioner know how you’re feeling, and that you have specific questions you would like addressed. Your practitioner will be more than happy to answer your questions, and ensure you leave your session feeling confident in the direction you’re moving towards, knowing how to best care for your health based on the insights you learn.

However, if you think that reviewing your results in advance might increase your anxiety, you may choose not to look at them prior to the session. Be sure to inform your practitioner if you feel anxious about receiving your results.

We highly recommend recording your session. If you’re attending in person at our clinic, you can use your phone to make a voice recording. Alternatively, you can ask your practitioner to screen record the session and share a private, viewable link with you afterward.

After your interpretation, you’ll have detailed information and insights about what is happening in your body based on the chosen test. We’ll provide written notes from the interpretation, along with any helpful resources, such as food guides. You’ll find these on your patient dashboard.
