Effective guidance and clinical testing from Uvita
Nutritional Consultations
A nutrition consultation with Uvita is a personalised session with a very experienced nutrition expert to assess your dietary habits, health goals, and nutritional needs. During the consultation, they will tailor specific health advice to help improve your overall health, manage conditions, and achieve your wellness objectives.
Blood Analysis
With increasing GP waiting times and limited access to non-urgent care, private blood testing is becoming a popular option for those looking to take control of their health. A variety of bespoke tests are available, using leading specialised labs from around the world to ensure comprehensive and effective recommendations.
Cain can take your blood sample, or recommend local professionals to do so. Some tests, such as finger prick/blood spot/stool, can be easily done at home and posted/collected by a courier.
Metabolomix + Testing
Metabolomix + is a test with a unique combination of nutritional tests that provides an analysis of key nutritional biomarkers. The Metabolomix + nutritional test is a non-invasive assessment (via urine; however, some of the add-ons require a small blood spot sample). It is a patient-friendly way to assess the functional need for antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, digestive support, amino acids urine elements (as an add-on) and fatty acids (as an add-on).
GI MAP Stool Testing
With Uvita’s GI-MAP stool testing, you gain a detailed analysis of your gut microbiome, identifying imbalances, pathogens, and digestive health markers.
DUTCH Testing
DUTCH testing helps to assess hormone levels and their daily fluctuations, offering a comprehensive view of your hormonal health. With these insights, we can help to balance hormones and improve overall wellness.
DNA Assessment
Uvita provides DNA assessments that reveal your genetic predispositions, helping you understand how your body responds to different nutrients and how the environment that you are in greatly influences your individual health. By analysing your DNA, Uvita offers personalised recommendations to optimise your nutrition and overall health.
The importance of clinical testing:
Clinical testing is essential for understanding your overall health and identifying potential underlying issues that may not be visible through symptoms alone. It provides accurate, data-driven insights into how your body is functioning, enabling healthcare professionals to make informed decisions about your care. Whether for early detection, prevention, or personalised treatment plans, clinical testing is a crucial step in maintaining and improving long-term health and well-being.
Uvita offer an extensive range of clinical tests designed to provide deeper insights into your health. These include blood work, stool analysis, DNA testing, hormone assessments, nutrient status evaluations, and more. Each test is selected based on your individual needs to uncover the root causes of your health concerns. They partner with leading specialised labs worldwide to gather the most comprehensive data, maximising the effectiveness of their recommendations.
