Diagnostics & Nutrition

Most people spend a fortune on high-quality food and vitamins in attempts to be healthy, without ever knowing if they are actually working. Are your supplements reaching your cells? Or are you wasting your time and money on a regime your body can’t even absorb?

Your health is only as good as your cell membranes. Think of each cell as a fortress; if the walls are rigid and inflamed due to a high Omega-6:3 ratio, vital nutrients and supplements cannot get in, and metabolic waste cannot get out. This “cellular congestion” is the hidden driver behind stubborn joint pain, brain fog, and slow recovery. We don’t just look at what you eat; we look at whether your cells are actually “open” to receiving it. By measuring your Cellular Health, we ensure your internal chemistry is optimized to switch off silent inflammation and restore natural repair.

The Biological Audit: Stop Guessing, Start Measuring

Most people spend a fortune on high-quality food and vitamins without ever knowing if they are reaching the target. At Your Health Roots, we call our diagnostic process a “Biological Audit.” Using hospital-grade, dried blood spot testing, we look past the generic symptoms to see exactly how your body is functioning at a microscopic level. Whether it’s identifying the “Northwest Tax” of Vitamin D depletion or measuring the inflammatory markers in your blood, this data provides the clinical roadmap for your recovery. If the data doesn’t move, we change the plan—ensuring your investment in your health is backed by objective proof, not guesswork.

If you aren’t testing, you are guessing. We use our own branded Your Health Roots Diagnostic Kits, powered by the clinical gold-standard expertise of York Test Laboratories and Zinzino dried blood spot tests, to audit your internal chemistry and provide the data needed to make empowered decisions.

Living in Stockport and the surrounding Northwest comes with a unique challenge. Due to our geographical position and cloud cover, even a perfect diet is rarely enough to maintain optimal Vitamin D levels. We call this the ‘Northwest Tax’—a chronic depletion of the pro-hormone responsible for your immune health, bone density, and mood, regulate parathyroid hormone production amongst others. We don’t guess your levels; we audit them.

Cellular Health: The Key Facts

The Fluidity Factor

When cell membranes are fluid (3:1 ratio), nutrients flow in and toxins flow out. When they are rigid, your body stays in a state of "cellular congestion."

Silent Inflammation

High Omega-6 levels trigger internal inflammation that doesn't always show up on standard GP blood tests but drives chronic pain and fatigue.

The Absorption Gap

Without cellular balance, even the most expensive supplements and organic foods cannot be fully utilized by your body.

Objective Auditing

We use clinical-grade data to move you from "Sub-clinical Deficiency" to "Optimal Function." If we don't measure it, we can't manage it.

The 12-Week Reset

It takes approximately 120 days for your red blood cells to regenerate. Our protocols are designed to rebuild your health from the cellular foundation up.

Nutrition FAQ's

We offer 2 main nutrition consultation types; Ayurveda and Functional Nutrition.
Ayurveda looks at nutrition through a yogic lens, it doesn’t label a disorder, rather it looks at what your original state of health is or was, where the imbalance is and give tools on how you rebalance through food and lifestyle choices. During the consultation we will work through a pulse, eye, nail, hair, tongue, skin and stool analysis. These provide us with key markers of your internal state without obtrusive examinations. Of course, if you are not comfortable with one assessment method we can work with the others. There are many markers to health so you choose. Ayurveda is ideal for those who like a more circular view on health.

A functional nutrition consultation involves assessing how you are functioning. It’s a specific and more systematic method, labelling disorders, so suited to a logical, linear thinker. External medical tests from a third party provider maybe needed but such tests, options and prices will be discussed and explained during the consultation. There is a strong focus on gut health and the microbiome, as this is the starting point of most nutrition disorders.

You won’t miss out. If we feel a different consultation or elements from another will serve you better, we will let you know. So you can’t make a wrong decision!

If you wish to put the protocol into action without support, then one session would be sufficient. Most clients work with us for at least 4-6weeks but some 6 months to a year. Within that time, we may have weekly email or online connection then a monthly meeting or a weekly face to face. These are all part of the collaborative bespoke journey.
