A nutritional profile enables you to focus on a health goal utilising the results of a functional test to develop a more personalised approach to address your needs.

This test uses a saliva sample to evaluate bioactive levels of the body’s stress hormones, cortisol and DHEA, which can serve as a useful tool for uncovering biochemical imbalances which may underlie anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, obesity and other clinical conditions.

Potential signs and symptoms that might suggest this profile is for you include menstrual problems, arthritis, allergies, low energy levels, weight management challenges, trouble sleeping and/or anxiety brought about by high stress levels.

This profile package includes a pre-test telephone consultation (15 minutes), a test to identify your stress profile and and 2 consultations (1 hour initial and 45 minute follow up) with a Food Teacher Registered Nutritional Therapist face-to-face, via Skype/Facetime or over the phone.

The test procedure is then explained and a provisional date for the initial consultation is agreed. Your test will then be delivered, completed at home by yourself and then sent to the laboratory. You will also receive a detailed questionnaire from The Food Teacher to be completed and returned via email prior to your consultation date.

Stress Profile Test
