Lab Testing

At Lauriston Laboratories, we offer a comprehensive range of professional laboratory tests to help you better understand your health and guide personalised, evidence-informed care.

Testing is always recommended based on clinical symptoms, health history, and previous results where available. We do not use a one-size-fits-all approach; investigations are selected carefully to answer specific clinical questions.

Core Testing Areas

Comprehensive Blood Profiles

Blood testing provides essential insights into metabolic, immune, and biochemical health. Depending on clinical need, this may include:

• Tailored biochemistry and immune markers

• Inflammatory and oxidative stress markers

• Nutritional status

• Infection serology, including tools used to investigate Lyme disease and associated co-infections

Stool Tests (Gut Health & Microbiome)

Stool testing allows detailed assessment of digestive function and the gut microbiome, including:

• Bacterial balance and diversity

• Yeasts, parasites, and pathogens

• Digestive capacity and enzyme output

• Inflammatory markers and gut barrier integrity

Available options include comprehensive stool profiles, DNA-based microbial testing, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and advanced microbiome analysis with markers such as calprotectin, zonulin, short-chain fatty acids, secretory IgA, and elastase.

Urine Tests

Urine testing provides valuable information about metabolic, neurological, hormonal, and toxic exposures, including:

• Organic Acids Testing – metabolic function, nutrient status, gut microbial metabolites, and energy production

• Neurotransmitter profiles – supporting mood, cognition, and neurological health

• Mycotoxin testing – detection of mould-related toxins

• Environmental toxicant screening – pesticides (including glyphosate), phthalates, bisphenols, VOCs, parabens, and more

• Chronic UTI diagnostics – identifying bacterial load, dominant pathogens, and antimicrobial resistance patterns

Hormone Testing

Hormone testing supports assessment of adrenal and sex hormone balance, including:

• Comprehensive adrenal and sex hormone profiles

• Cycle mapping to assess oestrogen and progesterone patterns across the menstrual cycle

Heavy Metals Testing

Heavy metals and mineral testing can help identify toxic exposure and nutritional imbalances, using:

• Hair mineral analysis – long-term exposure and essential mineral status

• Urine element testing (with or without provocation) – current body burden and response to intervention

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing provides insight into how your genes interact with nutrition and lifestyle, helping guide personalised strategies for long-term health optimisation.

Our Laboratory Partners

We collaborate with specialist laboratories in the UK and internationally, enabling access to advanced testing for individuals with complex, chronic, and neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism.

Payment Plans

We can arrange 3-6 monthly payment plans to meet your needs.

Supplements

Any supplements we recommend are carefully selected for quality, purity, safety, and clinical relevance, and are tailored to individual needs rather than prescribed routinely.
