Additional Functional Testing (Optional)

As part of your care, there is the option to access additional functional laboratory testing through Regenerus Labs. These tests can offer further insight into areas such as hormones, stress response, and overall health patterns.

Important Information

It’s important to be clear that:

These tests are outside the current scope of practice for acupuncturists
I do not diagnose medical conditions or interpret laboratory results
These tests are offered as an optional resource only, for those who wish to explore additional information

How This Works

Schedule your discovery call, we can discuss whether testing may be helpful for your situation
I will review what current research suggests may be the most appropriate type of test
If you choose to proceed, you can order and pay for the test directly
The laboratory will send your results directly to you

You can then:

Bring your results to your GP, consultant, or qualified practitioner for interpretation
Or choose to share them with me if you would like them considered within your treatment plan

My Role

If you choose to share your results with me:

I can review the report alongside your symptoms, cycle, and overall health
I can support you in understanding how this information may relate to your wellbeing
I can use this information to help guide acupuncture treatment, lifestyle, and supportive care

However:

I do not provide clinical interpretation or diagnosis of test results
I do not replace medical advice or specialist care

When This May Be Helpful

This option may be useful if:

You feel you would like further insight or reassurance
You have not yet been offered testing through your GP or clinic
You are exploring a more holistic understanding of your health

Summary

These tests are an optional additional tool, not a requirement. They can offer useful information, but are best used alongside medical care and professional interpretation, while we continue to support your health through acupuncture and a holistic approach.
