The Problem
It baffles us each and every day how physicians, coaches, trainers and nutritionists tell their patients and clients to eat better and exercise. The problem lies in the fact that unfortunately the majority of individuals have their education on nutrition and exercise from the media (social media, television, magazines) and word of mouth. Whatever someone is selling what what people unfortunately want and claim is dogma.
As people search for answers and are sold hopes, their lifespan continues to shorten. We are given but one body in our lives. How will you treat yours?

Nutrition and Environmental Test
Nutritionists, physicians, trainers and individuals create nutrition programs based on a plethora of theories. Individuals utilize herbs and other supplements and use certain household products because often one does not understand a one size fits all approach is not best for them. However, based on our genetics certain foods create immunological reactions within our body. This increase in immune function causes inflammation within the body. This inflammation not only prevents us from absorbing the nutrients we believe we are consuming but also leads to disease. |
Functionised utilizes the Alcat Test. This test may help uncover which foods and other substances trigger chronic inflammation and its related health issues such as gastrointestinal, metabolic disorders and others. The Test measures cellular reactions to over 450 substances. Medical studies using the Alcat Test to guide diet have shown significant improvement of many common symptoms. |
The Alcat Test enables you become functionised by utilizing leading technology to create a personalized nutrition plan resulting in benefits that can both be seen and felt.
Your results from the Alcat Test can help determine which foods and other substances may trigger unwanted inflammation. Your personalized nutrition plan, which is based on your immune response, can assist with food choices that are better for your health and well-being. When complying with the Alcat Test results, many clinical symptoms associated with food sensitivity may be substantially improved or possibly prevented altogether.
Test results include:
As a result you may know which food choices are best for you as an individual for functionised health and not simply fitting into a one size fits all model that may or may not be right for you.

Telomere Shortening Test
Current research shows that telomere shortening contributes to cellular aging and susceptibility to metabolic disorders and chronic disease. According to scientific research, telomere shortening may contribute to aging and age-related conditions. When telomeres are prematurely shortened due to exposure to environmental chemicals, oxidation, inflammation, and stress the associated DNA damage contributes to early cell death.
Shortened telomeres have been associated with cardiovascular disease, inflammatory disorders, metabolic |
syndrome, diabetes, cognitive decline, and other chronic degenerative conditions associated with aging.
- Neurological conditions such as Cognitive impairment, chronic stress.
- Metabolic disorders such as Diabetes, glucose intolerance, obesity.
- Cardiovascular diseases such as Atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease.
- Musculoskeletal disorders such as Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis.
- Immune-related conditions such as Hepatitis C, cancer, autoimmune disorders.
