Your Health Benchmarking & Complex Conditions Questions Answered
-
Is the Nutri-Stat test more comprehensive than a GP Full Blood Count test?
Yes. While GP panels screen for disease, Nutri-Stat expands the biomarker list and integrates results across systems to provide a functional, preventive perspective on health. Measuring over 240 markers, it’s the largest nutritional assessment of its kind.
-
Why does the Nutri-Stat test include a urine sample?
The urine component adds metabolic and oxidative-stress markers that reflect how your body is processing nutrients and detoxifying. Combined with blood chemistry, this gives a more complete picture of health.
-
How should I collect my HuMAP Plus Neurotransmitters urine samples if my sleep schedule is abnormal
Your collections should correspond to your pattern of eating and sleeping. The bedtime sample is collected before you go to sleep for your longest stretch of sleep and the waking is right after this sleeping period. The dinnertime
should be collected 4-7 hours before going to sleep.
-
How do I prepare for the Nutri-Stat Test?
Testing requires 4 days of preparation in advance taking your samples with full instructions provided in the collection kit.
Your urine sample is taken at home while your blood sample is conducted at an authorised pathology lab collection centre.
TEST PREPARATION

Taking all supplements including protein powders, magnesium, & creatine.
48 hours before the test - foods to avoid:
Avocado, bananas, chocolate, cocoa, cheese, citrus fruits, grapes, kiwifruit, pineapple, plums, tomatoes, walnuts, pecans and vanilla alcohol, coffee, tea, caffeinated drinks, or fruit juices.
24 hours before the test

- If you have a UTI, wait 5 days after completing any UTI treatment before testing.
-
How do I prepare for the HuMAP Plus Neurotransmitters Test?
5 days before and during test - Discontinue
Cortisol/glucocorticoid supplementation:
Certain medications such as asthma inhalers and hydrocortisone contain cortisol. To evaluate natural cortisol production, it is recommended to stop cortisol containing products 5 days prior to sample collection.
Consult your medical practitioner for specific instructions before stopping any medications.
3 days before and during test
If using hormonal supplementation:
- Discontinue oral and sublingual hormones for 72 hours before and during test.
- Do not use hormones vaginally, as this may directly contaminate the urine. Other hormones such as topical creams and gels, injectables, and patches can be used on your regular schedule.
- Do not skip doses of oral birth control pills unless instructed by your healthcare provider.
Note: A baseline hormone level may require supplement usage to stop for a longer period.
24 hours before and during test - Avoid
- alcohol, caffeine, tobacco or nicotine-containing products
- avocados, eggplant, tomatoes, bananas, melons, pineapple, grapefruit, plums, fruit juice, nuts, nut butters, wine, cheese, rice, and chocolate.

- Avoid supplements and medications (as approved by your prescribing practitioner)
Refer to your sample kit for full collection and postage instructions.
-
How do I prepare for the OMX Test?

-
Is HuMAP Plus Neurotransmitters testing appropriate for children?
This test is not meant for females not yet menstruating or males under the age of 12. To test children, salivary hormone testing may be a more appropriate medium.
-
Do these tests diagnose disease?
No. They highlight functional patterns and biochemical imbalances that guide personalised treatment, but they are not diagnostic on their own.
-
Will my DNA results be private and secure?
Yes. Your DNA and health information remain your property, are securely stored, never used for identification, and won’t affect insurance or be shared with third parties without consent.
-
Do I need to repeat DNA genetic testing?
No. Your DNA doesn’t change, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime test. However, you may review results with your practitioner as health or life circumstances change.
-
Will DNA genetic tests diagnose a disease or tell me my risk for something like cancer?
No. This test isn’t about disease prediction, but rather about revealing “genetic weak spots” and offering actionable ways to optimise wellness and support your unique biology.
