Comprehensive Functional Health Assessment

Thorough functional medicine health assessment at Sydney Functional Medicine in Macquarie Park, NSW. Dr Ritoo Chhabra conducts an in-depth history and clinical review covering genetic, hormonal, metabolic, toxin, immune, and gut health. Following the initial consultation, a personalised multi-panel laboratory workup is ordered across the full body system, with results reviewed in follow-up and an evidence-based management protocol developed for each patient.

The Comprehensive Functional Health Assessment at Sydney Functional Medicine represents a paradigm shift from conventional annual health checks available through standard GP services in Australia. Rather than relying solely on Medicare-funded panels targeting acute disease markers, Dr Ritoo Chhabra's approach investigates the biological terrain underlying a patient's symptoms and health trajectory, using a multi-system laboratory framework drawn from integrative and functional medicine. The initial consultation — typically lasting 60 to 90 minutes — covers a detailed medical, family, environmental, and lifestyle history, alongside a review of all previous investigations. This consultation is the foundation for designing a targeted laboratory workup that may span hormonal markers (via DUTCH Complete urine testing or serum panels), advanced cardiovascular risk profiling (LDL particle subfractionation, lipoprotein(a), inflammatory markers), metabolic function (organic acid testing, mitochondrial markers), gut microbiome status (GI MAP or GI 360 stool DNA testing, SIBO breath testing), toxin burden (mycotoxin urine testing, heavy metal hair/urine/faecal testing), immune markers (CIRS biotoxin panel, food sensitivity testing), and genomic profiling (SmartDNA or DNAHealth). Dr Chhabra integrates findings from all systems to identify intersecting drivers of the patient's presenting concerns — whether fatigue, weight resistance, brain fog, hormonal imbalance, gut dysfunction, or immune dysregulation — and constructs a personalised management protocol grounded in the test results. Protocols may incorporate targeted nutritional supplementation, dietary modifications, bioidentical hormone replacement, detoxification support, gut repair protocols, and specialist referral where indicated. An infrared sauna is available on-site at the Macquarie Park clinic for adjunctive detoxification support. For health-conscious patients in Sydney, New South Wales seeking a genuinely comprehensive evaluation of their biological age and longevity risk factors, this assessment provides a level of depth and personalisation that is rare in the Australian healthcare landscape.
