Detective Health covers a lot of ground. This page maps the right path depending on where you are and what you're looking for.

Which of these sounds most like you?

Find your situation below. Each path gives you the right starting point — clinical programme, a single test, or the education to understand what's going on.

01
Your situation
“My tests are normal but I still feel terrible — and nobody can explain why”
You’ve had standard blood tests. You’ve been told everything is fine. You don’t feel fine. This is a very common reason people come to me, and testing can show what a standard check doesn’t look at. Start with the Initial Consultation: I read your Case File and any results you have, and we go through your report together. If testing is needed after that, the TDG Five-Test Programme is designed for this.
02
Your situation
“My gut has been a problem for years — bloating, irregular bowels, food reactions that don’t make sense”
If gut symptoms are your main concern, the Resilient Gut System is a structured gut programme with three levels of support, from £697. If you’d rather test first, the GI-MAP Entry Programme gives you the stool test, my interpretation and a results session for £537.
03
Your situation
“I’m stressed, wired and tired”
If stress, poor recovery and running on empty are the main problem, the Resilient Stress System is a structured programme for stress and recovery, with optional DUTCH hormone testing, from £697.
04
Your situation
“My hormones are all over the place — perimenopause, thyroid, mood, sleep, weight”
Hormone symptoms often involve more than one system — thyroid conversion, adrenal activation, oestrogen metabolism, and gut health all interact. The DUTCH Plus hormone panel, read alongside blood chemistry, gives a fuller picture. Start with the free 20-minute call, or go straight to the Initial Consultation, to work out which tests are most relevant to your pattern.
05
Your situation
“I already have blood results”
Bring them to the Initial Consultation (£145): I’ll read them as part of your report. Or, if you have a stack of results from several labs or years, the Health Audit (£295).
06
Your situation
“Every diet works for someone else. None of them has worked for me”
Low fat, low carb, paleo, keto, plant-based — each has people it transformed and people it made worse, and the difference is not willpower. Metabolic Natures is a structured way of working out which balance of food suits you: two physiological axes, read together, with the strength of each shown rather than hidden. It is a starting point rather than a test result, and the page states plainly what the evidence for it is and is not.
07
Your situation
“I want to train”
Personal training at home in the Edinburgh area or by Zoom, a training programme written for you, or online training coaching. Prices from £50 a month.
08
Your situation
“I want to understand the science before I commit to anything”
Start with the clinical education: the articles, the case studies, and the first module of the TDG Clinical Manual, free to read. The Learn page is the best entry point. When you’re ready, the free call takes 20 minutes.
09
Your situation
“I’m a practitioner looking for clinical tools or training”
The Detective Health clinical suite includes interpretation guides for all five functional tests, a practitioner workflow, and the TDG clinical manual. The FDN-P certification is the training foundation the entire TDG approach is built on. The For Practitioners page covers everything.

The steps, and what each costs

Most people take these in order. You can stop at any step.

Free · 5 min
The Health Pattern Finder looks across seven body systems. If you already know where the problem is: the gut quiz or the fat loss pattern finder. Each shows your result straight away; none is a diagnosis.
Free
A short call to work out whether testing is worth it for you, and where to start.
£145 · 45 min
You complete your Case File first; I prepare your Health Status Report from it and we go through it together. The £145 is credited against the TDG programme, the Resilient Gut System or the Resilient Stress System if you go ahead within 60 days (not against single tests or monthly coaching). See a sample report (fictional client).

From £697
A structured programme for stress and recovery, with optional DUTCH hormone testing.

Add-on
Exercise advice is part of every food and lifestyle plan. Personal training sessions can be added to any programme or test. The Move Well First programme has a waitlist.

A Quick Review (£45, a written answer to one question within 3 working days), a check-in call (£75), Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching (£95 a month), reorders and AIdan, all on one page.

Before you buy any tests: The Test Isn’t the Investigation, on why more results aren’t more answers, and what you’re actually paying a practitioner for.

Want to see it before you book? How the investigation fits together, an example report and an example plan, all for a made-up client.
