Functional Testing
Hair Follicle Analysis
A non-invasive hair analysis that maps indicators across your nutrition, environment and lifestyle, so you have somewhere concrete to start when you’re trying to get your health back on track. Done entirely by post and online.
Our hair follicle analysis uses Cell Wellbeing’s epigenetic hair-mapping technology to show what may be influencing your wellbeing right now. It isn’t a diagnosis and isn’t meant to be, it’s a map of where to look that you can actually act on.
From a few strands of hair the report reflects your most recent growth period and picks up hundreds of indicators across nutrition, foods, environmental factors and lifestyle. For a lot of people it’s a really useful starting point, somewhere concrete to begin when you know something’s off but aren’t sure where to focus.
What you get
What the report covers
Nutrition
Indicators relating to vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and antioxidants your body may benefit from focusing on.
Foods & additives
Foods and additives showing up as a current point of focus, useful for shaping what you eat over the coming weeks.
Environmental factors
Everyday environmental influences, from toxins to EMF, that may be worth being mindful of.
Wellbeing & lifestyle
Broader indicators across gut, stress and lifestyle that help personalise your plan.
The report is a wellness and optimisation tool. It doesn’t diagnose deficiencies or disease, and it isn’t a substitute for medical testing or advice from your GP.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a medical or diagnostic test?
No. The hair follicle analysis is a wellness screening tool, not a medical or diagnostic test. It doesn’t diagnose, treat or cure any disease, and it isn’t a replacement for advice from your GP or specialist. We use it as a starting point for working out what to change with food and lifestyle.
Do I need to be on the Gold Coast?
No. The whole process is done by post and online, so you can do it from anywhere in Australia. Your consultation with Hannah is held online via Google Meet.
How is the sample collected?
You do it yourself at home, and we’ll send you step-by-step instructions once you order. You pluck a small number of hairs (around 5–10) from the nape of your neck with the root attached, wrap them in paper and foil, and post them to us in a padded envelope. It’s completely non-invasive, there’s no blood, no fasting and no need to come into the clinic.
What’s included?
Everything in one: the hair follicle analysis and your report, plus a 30-minute online consultation with Hannah to go through the results together and work out your next steps. The report on its own can be a lot to take in, so the consultation is there to turn it into something you can actually act on.
How often should I retest?
The report reflects your most recent growth period, so some people retest every few months to see what’s shifted, and Hannah can talk you through whether that’s worth doing in your case.
