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.
