Laboratory tests
My London Nutritionist Kamilla Schaffner offers a wide range of complex laboratory tests to identify culprits as well as potential causative and driving factors of patients’ health concerns. Laboratory tests are often used in identifying problems with patient’s health, as well as in accurately ascertaining their unique health status. Laboratory tests are not always needed, however, there are instances when some functional testing that is not readily available on NHS is suggested for further investigative analysis.
