Health Screening Brisbane – Whole Body Testing for Real Answers

Brisbane Livewell Clinic offers functional and integrative health screening in Brisbane for individuals seeking clarity on symptoms like fatigue, hormonal shifts, digestive discomfort, or chronic stress. Our Practitioners focus on identifying the underlying causes of health challenges using modern pathology testing and holistic Wellness Plans tailored to your needs.

Whether you’re tired of being told your bloods are “fine” or simply want to take proactive steps toward better health, our screening process helps you find the missing pieces.

“During a Full Health Screening, we take the time to understand your health history, symptoms and concerns in detail. It’s this depth that allows us to piece together the whole picture and provide a plan that addresses the true underlying causes.” Nicole Oldum, Naturopath and Clinical Nutritionist

  • We test only when clinically useful

  • We focus on patterns, not just isolated test results

  • We tailor testing to your symptoms, stage of life and health goals

What Our Health Screening Includes

Our Full Health Screening process is structured to identify what’s happening in your body and why you’re feeling the way you do. Here’s what it covers:

  • A detailed health history and symptom profile

  • A clinical assessment of nutritional, hormonal and metabolic patterns

  • Review of any past test results or medications

  • Practitioner-guided selection of appropriate tests

  • A personalised Wellness Plan based on your testing outcomes

We screen for patterns linked to thyroid function, adrenal stress, gut health, blood sugar regulation, hormonal rhythms, nutritional deficiencies and inflammation.

If required, we also coordinate with other practitioners or refer you for further medical investigation.

“If you’ve had previous blood tests, we’ll use those results to help guide the next steps. But if you haven’t, we’ll still be able to provide a comprehensive assessment during your review, and we may ask you to take a pathology test so we can order the blood tests we recommend that you have.” Nicole Oldum, Naturopath and Clinical Nutritionist

Common Reasons People Seek Screening

Many of our clients come to us because they know something isn’t right – but haven’t received answers through conventional approaches. Some are managing long-term symptoms, others are simply ready to get ahead of potential health issues.

Health screening may assist with identifying issues linked to:

  • Chronic fatigue or low energy

  • Brain fog, low mood or irritability

  • Irregular menstrual cycles or PMS

  • Perimenopause and menopause changes

  • Stubborn weight gain or metabolic slowdown

  • Constipation, bloating or IBS symptoms

  • Skin breakouts or inflammation

  • Food reactions or sensitivities

  • Recurrent colds, sinus infections or immune depletion

Functional Testing Options We Offer

Our Practitioners offer access to industry-leading testing partners and recommend the most relevant options based on your case. The following tests may be used as part of your screening:

  • DUTCH hormone testing – Dry urine test for sex hormones and cortisol patterns

  • Thyroid blood panels – Includes TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies

  • GI-MAP stool test – Comprehensive microbiome and digestive function analysis

  • Food intolerance tests – IgG antibody testing or elimination protocols

  • Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) – Assess minerals and heavy metal exposure

  • SIBO breath testing – Identify small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

  • Blood chemistry analysis – Advanced review of standard bloods, including nutrient markers

  • Organic Acids Test (OAT) – Insight into metabolism, neurotransmitters and detoxification pathways

All tests are professionally interpreted and presented with an easy-to-understand report and Wellness Plan.

Is This the Right Hormone Test for You?

Our Naturopaths can advise whether testing is appropriate for your symptoms. Some patients benefit from detailed hormonal testing such as the DUTCH test, while others may require thyroid assessment, stool testing or blood chemistry evaluation. Each case is different.

We never over-test — we assess, advise, and recommend only what’s clinically useful for you. You’ll always have a clear plan and follow-up.

What Is the DUTCH Test?

DUTCH stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. It’s one of the most advanced and detailed hormonal profiles available today, measuring both hormones and their metabolites.

This test may assist with understanding:

  • Oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol balance

  • Cortisol rhythms across the day

  • Sleep and melatonin patterns

  • Hormone detox pathways

  • Stress resilience and adrenal load

The DUTCH test is also suitable for people using hormone therapy, including progesterone cream, vaginal HRT and oral bio-identical hormones. Sample collection is simple, using four to five urine strips collected over 24 hours.

In Our Experience

In the Experience of Our Practitioners

We often see clients who’ve been told “everything looks normal,” but their symptoms continue. In our clinical experience, functional screening frequently highlights key imbalances that help us guide care more effectively.

“Functional screening offers insight beyond surface symptoms. It shows us how the body is adapting, struggling or compensating – and where to support it.”
— Dominique Johanson, Naturopath

In the Experience of Our Patients

Clients often share how relieved they feel to finally see proof of their health concerns on paper – and how grateful they are for having a clear direction to move forward.

“I went to BLC after months of exhaustion and fogginess. The Health Screening showed issues with my thyroid and gut that no one else had picked up. Now I feel like I’m finally getting answers.”
— Tania, Carina – Patient

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does a health screening appointment involve?

A health screening appointment at Brisbane Livewell Clinic involves a detailed consultation with one of our Practitioners. They assess your symptoms, history and health goals before recommending any appropriate testing.

2. What symptoms may benefit from health screening?

Symptoms such as fatigue, bloating, mood changes, PMS, poor sleep or weight gain may benefit from health screening, which may assist in identifying underlying causes.

3. Can I get hormone testing during my screening?

Hormone testing may be included if your Practitioner believes it’s clinically relevant. Tests such as the DUTCH test or salivary panels are commonly recommended for hormone-related symptoms.

4. Will I receive a personalised care plan?

You will receive a personalised Wellness Plan after your results are returned and reviewed. This includes dietary advice, supplement recommendations and lifestyle strategies.

5. Is testing covered by Medicare or private health?

Functional tests are not covered by Medicare. Some standard blood tests may be bulk billed if referred by a GP. Private health rebates may apply for consultations depending on your provider.

6. What’s the difference between standard and functional testing?

Standard tests look for disease or pathology. Functional tests explore how well your body is performing, such as hormone metabolism, gut bacteria balance or nutritional status.

7. How are test results explained to me?

Your Practitioner will go through each test result during a follow-up session and provide a written summary. All recommendations are explained in plain language.

8. Can testing be done remotely or online?

Some testing can be done at home and posted to the lab. Consultations to review your results can also be conducted via videoconference.

9. What if I already have recent test results?

If you have recent test results, we encourage you to bring them. Your Practitioner may be able to use them or recommend further testing if needed.

10. How often should I do health screening?

Health screening is typically done once per year or when new symptoms arise. Some clients return for follow-up testing every 6–12 months based on their plan.

11. Is this service suitable for both men and women?

Our Health Screening services are suitable for both men and women and are adapted to suit your health stage and hormonal profile.

12. Can health screening help if I’ve been told I’m “fine”?

Health screening may assist when standard tests return “normal” but symptoms persist. Functional assessments often reveal hidden imbalances.

13. How do I get started with health screening?

You can book a Full Health Review appointment online or call our clinic. Your Practitioner will guide the rest of the process from there.
