Why is functional testing so expensive? 💸
It’s a fair question, and one we hear all the time.

Here’s what’s behind the price:

🔬 Different goals. Conventional testing flags disease. Functional testing looks at optimal ranges to understand why you feel the way you do.

🧪 Specialised labs. Many functional tests are processed by specialty labs like Nutripath, AU Biologics and InterClinical, not routine collection services.

🔎 Broader panels. For example, instead of TSH alone, a functional thyroid panel can include Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3 and antibodies.

🧭 Support, not just a PDF. The test is only half of it. Results need context, your history and symptoms, and a plan.

Lab pricing is set by the lab, not by FIHA. We help select the right tests based on your unique symptoms and arrange for your kit to be delivered to your door.

What you’re really paying for is clarity: understanding the “gray zone” where you feel off but standard results say you’re fine, spotting trends early, and making informed decisions over the long term.

Our Founding Client Pricing brings down the cost of your whole roadmap, from your first consult to your results review and personalised plan.

Are you blaming pollen?
Here’s what nobody in the antihistamine aisle is telling you — some of the most “unrelated” symptoms trace back to the same root system.

Allergies, eczema, asthma, food reactions… often showing up in people whose gut has been quietly compromised for years.

It’s not that pollen isn’t real. It’s that your reaction to it isn’t fixed. It’s a reflection of how reactive your whole system currently is — and that can change.

Most people try to fix this from the outside in. Antihistamines. Elimination diets. A daily scoop of something from the health food aisle. All reasonable moves. Often incomplete ones.

If you’ve done all the obvious things and you’re still reacting to everything, testing your gut function may be an important missing piece.

We do complete microbiome mapping & gut function testing.

🔬 Functional testing is genuinely one of my favourite things to talk about.

Because it’s the difference between being told you’re fine — and actually finding out why you’re not.

Is it the answer to everything? Nope. But it gives you something most people have never had — a real picture of what’s actually going on inside your body.

That’s not a knock on conventional medicine. It’s just the truth about what functional testing can see that standard bloods can’t.

The rhythm of your stress response. The hormone that’s actually running your metabolism. The minerals your body has quietly burned through. The gut that’s been trying to tell you something for years.

It’s all measurable. And when something is measurable — it’s workable. And it’s all available to you too!

Mould exposure doesn’t always look like mould exposure. One clue led us there.

You might not have a blocked nose, visible congestion or an obvious respiratory problem.

You may experience the following!

→ unexplained fatigue or feeling constantly “run down”
→ brain fog, poor concentration or headaches
→ unusual sensitivity to smells or chemicals
→ persistent sinus or respiratory irritation
→ post-nasal drip or frequent throat clearing
→ disrupted sleep
→ unexplained skin irritation or itching
→ digestive changes that seem to have no obvious cause
→ feeling worse in one particular environment, and better when you leave it
→ getting sick frequently or struggling to bounce back

But!

These symptoms are not specific to mould. They can have many possible causes, which is exactly why simply managing the symptom may not tell you what is actually driving it.

Could you be my next case? The 30-second application is in my bio.

Pink October raises awareness. Understanding your hormones and metabolic health is the next step. 🎀

Screening finds what’s already there. Your hormones, insulin, HbA1c and vitamin D show you what’s shaping your terrain. You need both.

Breast cancer is close to my heart, so this October I’m waiving my initial consult fee to help you access functional testing for your hormone and metabolic markers.

🚻 Device for urinary incontinence and pelvic floor stimulation? I had to try it myself.

And yes, you can hear exactly how it went in the video when the intensity went up. 😂

I only had it at 50% intensity, and I felt those contractions very clearly. A deep, involuntary squeeze you can’t fake. Will I try 100%? Maybe if and when leaks come knocking. 😅 For now, 50% was plenty.

Why I wanted to try it:

🔹 Pelvic floor exercises work, but many of us can’t tell whether we’re activating the right muscles, or we simply don’t do them consistently.

🔹 EMSELLA uses HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) energy to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscle contractions without you having to do anything. Per BTL, one 28-minute session delivers over 11,000 contractions, far more than you could do voluntarily.

🔹 The aim is to help retrain the muscles that support continence and rebuild neuromuscular control. 6 sessions are needed!

Fully clothed. Seated. No downtime. And a reaction I clearly didn’t see coming. 😂

If you’re crossing your legs before you sneeze, planning life around bathrooms, and are based in Perth - I’m happy to connect you with where I tried it. Send us a message. 📩

Chronic inflammation often hides behind “everything looks normal” while the system keeps treating and masking symptoms instead of asking why they’re there.

That’s the gap this carousel is about — the years between feeling off and getting a name for it. Years where the trajectory could still be changed.

This is exactly why FIHA exists. Not to wait for the diagnosis. To find the fire before it becomes one.

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and the sign we’re highlighting today isn’t the one you’d expect.

If you’ve followed me a while, you’ll know I’m currently in Europe — my father was placed in hospice care here, with terminal prostate cancer. He also lost his hair rapidly, starting in his 30s.

Most men associate prostate risk with what’s happening “down there.” Ayurveda’s been looking at the mirror instead — and modern research is starting to agree.

Full breakdown in the carousel: the mind-body link, the research, and the food swaps that matter.

You were told everything looked fine.

But you’re exhausted. You’re in pain. You’re not yourself.

And nobody could tell you why.

This is the gap between standard testing and what your body is actually doing — and it’s where most people fall through.

If you recognised yourself in any of these slides — your body has been trying to tell you something.
