Delivering better protocols for clients on a budget with FDX Essential

At FDX we’re firm believers that using a centrifuge for a blood draw is the absolute gold standard when it comes to functional blood testing – it allows us to test more biomarkers and keep ones that are fragile more stable, so they produce accurate results.??

Centrifuging blood does, however, come at a cost. The draw itself is more expensive and finding phlebotomists without a centrifuge outside the major population centres can be a challenge.??

We’re also not immune to the prevailing financial winds that are still buffeting the country and appreciate that during a cost-of-living crisis, affording private healthcare is a challenge to many, especially those who are frustrated by not finding a solution to their problems in the NHS, which is equally and increasingly being squeezed financially. ? ? Taking all this into account led to us launching our Essential range of non-centrifuged tests last year. While they admittedly look at fewer biomarkers than the more in-depth panels of our Professional range, they marry a non-centrifuged blood draw and combine it with our comprehensive FunctionalDX reporting.??

Designed for clients with smaller budgets and/or without access to centrifuged phlebotomy, they are created from hand-picked biomarkers that are more stable in transportation back to the lab (which is the main reason for using a centrifuge in the first place).??

While notionally, we call the new Essential range our ‘lite’ panels they are, in fact, anything but, with up to 74 clinically relevant biomarkers, as well as an assessment of sugar management, lipids, inflammation, kidney and liver function, and baseline vitamin and mineral needs, all backed up by our cutting-edge reporting and analysis. Like all our tests, the new Essential range offers both incredible insight and great value for money. Crucially, they address several barriers we know healthcare practitioners have when it comes to functional testing:?

• They are offered at a lower cost than our Professional range so practitioners can be more confident offering them to their clients??
• They help save time producing targeted client protocols that work thanks to our advanced interpretation reports and dedicated results calls with our clinical team??
• They reduce the need for a centrifuged draw meaning opening up FDX functional tests to remote regions around the country?

On October 16th we’ll be hosting a choice of two webinars hosted by our head of sales Lecinda van Nierkerk and with contributions from registered nutrition therapist Sue Camp who will share how she uses FDX in her own successful clinic.

On the webinar, you will also learn how our Essential range compares to those of more commercial services such as Medichecks, highlighting the incredible value offered by the Essential range.??

On the webinar we’ll be offering bonuses for those who attend live, as well as special introductory offers that will reduce the cost even further so you can witness the power of FDX Essential for yourself, your family or for your clients.??

I do hope you will join us?- you can choose your time here https://essential.functionaldx.com/ ???

All the best
