Testing

At Vida we utilise a range of tests to assist us in assessing and enhancing your health.

Bioimpedance Analysis

Have you ever wondered how old you really are on the inside?  Would you like to know how your body is responding to your current diet?

Find out today with Bioimpedance analysis!

Bioimpedance analysis provides us with valuable information such as your muscle mass and quality, cellular vitality, hydration and biological age. Bioimpedance analysis is a wonderful tool to assist in monitoring your health and vitality.

Hemaview

Hemaview enables us to view your live blood cells live on a screen in front of you.

Using only one or two drops of blood (only a pinprick), we use Hemaview to investigate the size, shape and ratio of the red cells, white cells and platelets in your blood.

You may have had blood tests before, but nothing compares to seeing your own blood live on a screen in front of you. Best of all you can keep a record of your progress and see how your blood picture improves over time!

Gut Dysbiosis

A simple, fast and accurate urine test to check the level of dysbiosis in the digestive system, i.e the level of unhealthy bacteria.

Zinc Status

Provides a fast and easy indication of your body’s level of zinc. Zinc is an important mineral for the immune system, nervous system, normal energy production, healthy hormone balance and is used in almost all enzymatic reactions in the body.

Hormone, Heavy Metal, Complete Digestive Stool Analysis, Cholesterol, Blood Glucose and a further range of other Pathology Tests

We utilise functional pathology testing to enable us to enhance and maintain the ‘functioning’ of your body and your health.

Functional pathology tests we commonly utilise are: hormone testing through saliva (oestrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA-S and cortisol), complete digestive stool analysis, heavy metal testing, intestinal permeability, thyroid health and much more.

Personalised Genetic Wellness

Predictive, preventative, personalised health based on your genetic profile

Personalised health is here now! Damian and Dianne work with smartDNA to reduce the risk of many of the most common health issues that affect us as we age.

Through a simple saliva sample your DNA can provide a valuable insight into your health. This enables Damian and Dianne to design a specific nutritional program for you based on your genes.

Other benefits of this analysis include:

• It will enable specific preventative health strategies to be used for your long term health.
• It will enable better weight management and understanding of your specific dietary needs.
• It will identify how well your body can detoxify. Caffeine is a drug detoxified by your body. Find out if you are a fast or slow metaboliser.
• It will assess your genes involved in anti-oxidative defense.
• Inflammation has a key role in chronic diseases. Your inflammatory response will be evaluated to reduce your risk of various diseases.

Remember…...it's YOUR genes, YOUR lifestyle and YOUR diet.

When your body is healthy and has access to the nutrients it genetically needs, you typically:

• Age more slowly;
• Experience a higher quality of life;
• Suffer less with unhealthy conditions;
• Think more clearly; and
