Functional Testing

Functional testing goes beyond standard blood tests to uncover the root causes of ongoing health concerns. These advanced health tests measure how your body is really functioning, from gut microbiome balance and digestive health, to hormones, adrenal function, thyroid activity, and nutrient status. They can help explain issues such as low energy, bloating, poor sleep, mood changes, or weight fluctuations.

Every test with PracPharm includes a full consultation and detailed results analysis with one of our qualified natural health practitioners. Your test kit is shipped directly to you (freight covered both ways), and once the sample is analysed, you’ll receive a personalised explanation of your results. We then provide clear, practical recommendations for diet, lifestyle, and supplements, plus guidance on your next steps to restore balance and support long-term wellbeing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Functional Testing

What is functional testing?

Functional testing is a type of advanced health testing that looks at how your body is working on a deeper level. Instead of just measuring standard blood markers, these tests assess things like gut microbiome balance, nutrient status, hormones, adrenal function, and thyroid activity to help identify the root cause of ongoing symptoms.

What kinds of functional tests are available in New Zealand?

At Matakana Pharmacy, we offer a range of functional medicine tests, including gut health and microbiome testing, hormone and adrenal testing, thyroid function testing, food sensitivity testing, and nutrient status checks.

Who should consider functional testing?

Functional testing may be helpful if you’re experiencing ongoing issues such as fatigue, bloating, poor sleep, mood swings, stress, skin problems, or difficulty managing weight. These tests provide insights that can guide personalised diet, lifestyle, and supplement strategies.

What’s included with a functional test from Matakana Pharmacy?

Every test includes a full consultation and detailed results analysis with one of our qualified natural health practitioners. Freight is covered both ways (your kit sent to you, and your sample back to the lab). You’ll receive a plain-language explanation of your results, along with clear recommendations and next steps to support your long-term health.

Can I do a functional test at home?

Yes. Most functional tests are simple to complete at home using the kit we provide. Once your sample is collected, you’ll send it back to the lab with prepaid shipping, and we’ll book a consultation to go through your results.

Results timeframes vary depending on the type of test. On average, you can expect results within 2–3 weeks from the time your sample is received by the lab.
