Organic Acids Test (OAT)

A comprehensive metabolic map of your body, brain, and biochemistry.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, foggy, anxious, bloated, or inflamed — and standard blood tests haven’t provided answers — the Organic Acids Test (OAT) may be the missing link.

The OAT is one of the most advanced and insightful functional tests available. It analyses over 70 different metabolites in your urine that reflect how your body is functioning on a cellular level. From mitochondrial health and brain chemistry to gut microbiome and detox pathways, it provides a full-body snapshot of your internal environment.

As a Clinical Naturopath, Nutritionist, and Neuroscientist, I use OAT testing to guide complex cases, especially for women dealing with chronic fatigue, mood changes, hormonal imbalance, gut issues, and cognitive dysfunction.

What the OAT Measures

This urine-based test evaluates key organic acids — compounds that are produced as your body breaks down food, nutrients, neurotransmitters, and toxins. It shows us how well your metabolism, brain, mitochondria, and gut are working.

✅ The OAT provides insights into:

Neurotransmitter balance: Dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, GABA
Mitochondrial function: Energy output and Krebs cycle efficiency
Vitamin and mineral status: B6, B12, folate, CoQ10, magnesium
Detox capacity: Glutathione, methylation, and liver pathways
Oxidative stress: Cellular damage and antioxidant status
Gut dysbiosis: Yeast/fungal overgrowth (Candida), bacterial imbalance
Inflammatory markers and brain-gut signalling metabolites

Why I Recommend the OAT

The OAT is ideal when symptoms are multifactorial, confusing, or unresolved, especially when:

Standard tests come back “normal”
You're dealing with multiple overlapping systems (e.g. fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, PMS)
You want a clear, objective baseline to guide targeted treatment
You're already on supplements or a good diet but still don’t feel optimal

It’s incredibly helpful in uncovering root causes that conventional panels can’t detect — especially related to nervous system function, neurotransmitter imbalances, detox overload, and gut-neuroimmune dysfunction.

Common Symptoms the OAT Can Help Investigate:

Chronic fatigue and poor energy
Brain fog and memory issues
Anxiety, mood swings, low motivation
Sleep disturbances
Digestive issues and bloating
Estrogen dominance and hormone irregularities
Migraines and headaches
Skin issues (acne, eczema)
Histamine intolerance or MCAS
ADHD, behavioural concerns, or cognitive decline
Poor recovery from illness or long COVID

My Approach to OAT Interpretation

Many practitioners run this test — but few are trained in how to interpret its neurological, metabolic, and immune implications holistically.

With my background in neuroscience, biochemistry, and functional medicine, I don’t just hand you a report. I break it down in a way that makes sense and connects the dots between your symptoms, test results, and your lifestyle.

You’ll receive:

Clear explanations of every relevant marker
A personalised plan including targeted nutrients, herbs, mitochondrial support, detox strategies, and gut rebalancing
A full integration of your OAT results with any hormone, gut, or immune testing we may also be doing

What to Expect

Clinical intake and health history
Easy at-home urine collection
In-depth interpretation with full report and session
Custom treatment plan tailored to your metabolic profile
Follow-up consultations to track progress and adjust protocols

The OAT is one of the most powerful tools I use in clinic. It gives us the clarity to treat with confidence — no more guessing, just data-driven healing.

“The Organic Acids Test helps me see the invisible — the silent patterns behind symptoms that are often misunderstood or overlooked. It’s one of my favourite tools to guide transformation.”
