Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis
CDSA assesses your ability to digest, absorb and metabolize nutrients. It also reports on levels of bacteria, yeast and allergy/intolerance testing which contribute to a variety of health symptoms.
Price depends on level of detail required ($120-$360)
Intestinal Permeability
Using a Lactulose and Mannitol challenge, the Intestinal Permeability (IP) test, also referred to as a “leaky gut” test, is a precise and non-invasive method for assessing gastrointestinal mucosal integrity.
Price: $120
Hormone Profiles
Baseline Hormone Profile – Female
Provides valuable information on an individual’s hormonal status and the potential impact this may have on physical and emotional health. Hormonal imbalance may result in weight gain, mood swings, night sweats, disturbed sleep patterns, loss of libido and hot flushes.
Price: $145
Baseline Hormone Profile – Male
Provides valuable information on an individual’s hormonal status and the potential impact this may have on physical and emotional health. Hormonal imbalance may result in weight gain, mood swings, disturbed sleep patterns and loss of libido.
Price: $100
Melatonin Hormone Porfile
Low levels may result in sleep disturbances such as insomnia, poor immune function, depression and other mood disorders.
Price: $50
Adrenocortex Stress Profile (Cortisol & DHEA)
The Adrenocortex Stress Profile is a safe, noninvasive test that determines your DHEA and cortisol levels using 4 saliva samples which can be easily collected at home or at work. Balance is the key in assessing the overall effect of adrenal hormones on the body. That’s why, in addition to individual measures of DHEA and cortisol, the test report includes a DHEA/cortisol ratio that indicates your body’s unique and dynamic balance of these crucial stress hormones.
Price: $125
Heavy Metal Testing
Measures your level of heavy metal toxicity. It’s a great way to test the progress of a detox program as the various stages of detoxification show up with different colours.
Price: $5 when part of a consultation
pH Testing
The body’s acid-alkaline balance can be easily measured using urine, saliva or both. Eating the wrong food, drinking alcohol, coffee/tea can make you too acidic. For ideal health, we should be pH balanced. Offered if deemed relevant but feel free to ask if you’d like to partake.
Free as part of a consultation
Body Composition
Using Body Composition scales we measure your weight, body fat %, your basal metabolic rate (the minimum level of energy your body needs when at rest to function effectively), your estimated metabolic age, body water %, visceral fat rating, physique rating and bone mass. You get a report of your current status to take home with you during each consultation, thus measuring your progress.
Several other tests are available through referral to private pathology labs.

Testimonials
Just wanted to let you know that after two months on krill oil and adjusting the diet my cholesterol reading came down from 8.5 to 6.8. I know I have a way to go but so grateful for the improvement.

Your knowledge of food and what's in it is amazing. I thought my choice of food and diet was pretty good, but you re-educated me. It's amazing what great results you can get from small changes - if everyone visited you (and listened to you!), there would be a lot more healthy, happy and energetic people in the world - well Sydney anyway!

Lisa, your passion for good food is infectious. I have started reading labels and simply don't buy things that have half a dozen E numbers in them anymore! It takes a few more minutes each day to make a salad however it is very yummy and time well spent. I would recommend such a group detox to anyone as we have had your tireless and non-judgmental support.

I recently began working with Lisa doing phone consultations. This was very appealing for me as I live out of Sydney and this often excludes me from having access to many services. I find phone consultations so easy even if I did live in Sydney as travelling around Sydney can be full of traffic and time consuming so am very happy to skip all the travel. The phone consultation means we can catch up for shorter calls but more regularly for the same price as longer face to face consultations so the regular shorter calls help me to be more accountable to my goals.
I have found Lisa to be a most helpful in assisting me with my health goals and grateful to have access to her expertise in such a convenient manner.

Lisa helped me to understand about foods and specifically which foods help increase energy levels. I’ve introduced new foods into my diet that are healthy for me and my whole family. I have enjoyed taking the challenge of a detox, which I may not have done without her support.

Before coming for treatment I felt bloated, lethargic and unfit. It’s a work in progress but already I feel more energetic. Life seems more exciting, more enjoyable. It’s the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time.

I recently participated in Lisa’s 21day detox program and it was great. Going back to food basics and not consuming anything from a ‘packet’ really had a positive effect on me both physically and mentally. I found that even within the first few days, I wasn’t bloated after meals and I didn’t have sugar cravings in the afternoon. You don’t realise how much rubbish is in our everyday foods, even the ‘healthy’ ones, until you start reading labels…it’s frightening. I learnt so much about food in general and how to cook a healthy, preservative free meal, it’s become a normal part of my everyday diet now.
