Testing At NatMed
We look deeper so your treatment can be more targeted
At NatMed, we use testing to help uncover what may actually be driving your symptoms.
We firmly believe that health is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Every patient is different, which means testing and treatment should be tailored to the individual.
Whether you are dealing with fatigue, hormone changes, digestive symptoms, inflammation, skin concerns, weight changes or simply not feeling your best, testing can help us build a clearer understanding of your health and guide a more personalised treatment plan.
Our practitioners combine evidence-based testing with detailed clinical assessment to help identify underlying drivers, not just manage symptoms.
The 3 types of testing we offer:
Medical Pathology Testing
Through our Nurse Practitioner, we can arrange comprehensive pathology testing, including:
- iron and nutrient levels
- thyroid function
- hormones
- cholesterol and cardiovascular markers
- blood sugar and insulin
- inflammatory markers
- liver and kidney function
Appointments with our Nurse Practitioner attract a consultation fee, however in most cases the pathology testing itself is fully covered by Medicare.
Functional testing
For patients needing further investigation, we also offer a range of functional testing options, including:
- gut microbiome testing
- SIBO breath testing
- neurotransmitter testing
- hormone testing
- hair tissue mineral analysis
- heavy metal screening
- organic acids testing
These tests can help uncover patterns that may not appear on standard blood work alone and provide deeper insight into areas such as gut health, hormones, nervous system function and nutrient status.
Functional testing is optional, privately billed and not covered by Medicare, but can provide valuable clinical information to help your practitioner in guiding your care and improving outcomes.
In-house testing
We also offer selected in clinic assessments, including:
- body composition analysis
- live blood screening
- Magnagraph assessment
- urinary screening tests
These assessments can provide additional real-time insights and help us track progress over time.
In-house testing is included as part of your consultation where your practitioner feels it may provide useful clinical insight. No additional testing fees apply for these assessments.
Why Patients Choose NatMed
We do not believe in generic protocols or prescribing the same treatment to every patient.
Our practitioners take the time to understand the full picture and use testing where appropriate to guide more precise and individualised care.
The goal is simple. Identify what is driving the problem so treatment can be more targeted and effective.
