Biological Flow Audit &
Metabolic Typing
Biology Under The Microscope
Blood · Urine · Saliva · Gingival Pathogens
​
At Tobias Lab, we use microscopy and biological auditing methods to observe how the body is functioning across multiple systems. These approaches provide layered, real-time perspectives on biological patterns, relationships, and terrain — rather than isolated measurements.
Our services range from detailed live cellular observation (sometimes referred to as live blood analysis) to broader biological flow assessments and metabolic profiling. Together, these tools allow for a more integrated view of physiology, helping to contextualise cellular behaviour within the larger biological picture.
​
The emphasis is always on careful observation, pattern recognition, and informed interpretation — supporting a thoughtful, holistic approach to health management.
Biological Flow Audit & Metabolic Typing
A Qualitative and Quantitative Perspective
​
A Biological Flow Audit is a comprehensive, system-level review that integrates live cellular observation with structured physiological measurement to understand how the body is functioning as a whole. Designed for individuals seeking deeper physiological clarity — particularly where health concerns are complex, persistent, or difficult to contextualise through conventional testing — this audit brings qualitative and quantitative perspectives together to identify biological patterns, balance points, and regulatory tendencies over time.
Qualitative Observation
Live blood microscopy offers a qualitative window into an individual’s underlying biology — often described as a reflection of the internal biological terrain. Through careful observation, it becomes possible to notice patterns of organisation, stress, or adaptation at the cellular level.
However, what can be seen under the microscope represents only part of the picture.
​
Quantitative Measurement
Beyond the microscope, the Biological Flow Audit incorporates a broad set of physiological measurements that help contextualise what is observed. These measures provide numerical reference points that describe metabolic tendencies, fluid dynamics, autonomic balance, and regulatory capacity.
Together, qualitative observation and quantitative measurement allow for a more informed interpretation of biological function — highlighting where regulation may be strained, adaptive, or mismatched to current demands.
​
Specific measures may include assessments of urine and saliva chemistry, pH balance, electrical conductivity, surface tension, blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiration, and related markers. These data points help describe membrane behaviour, circadian patterning, oxygen utilisation, and metabolic orientation — factors that ultimately influence tissue behaviour and symptom expression.
​
What the Full Biological Flow Audit Includes
Where appropriate, the Full Biological Flow Audit may include:
-
Comprehensive live blood microscopy and extended observation

-
Acid–alkaline regulatory tendencies
-
Potential focal stress or flow restriction patterns
-
Blood glucose measurements and associated cofactors
-
Dietary and metabolic context based on observed patterns
Not all components are available independently, as the value of this audit lies in integration rather than isolation.
​
Measurement as Orientation
This approach is grounded in a simple principle:
what is not measured clearly is difficult to understand meaningfully.
​
By drawing on established physiological concepts from microscopy, oxidology, colloid science, and metabolic regulation, the Biological Flow Audit organises complex data into a coherent hierarchy. This helps clarify which balance points may matter most, and which patterns are secondary, adaptive, or compensatory.
​
The emphasis is not on forcing change, but on clarifying direction — supporting thoughtful, proportionate, and non-harmful responses that respect biological individuality.

​
A guiding distinction
The qualitative is what can be observed.
The quantitative is what can be measured.
​
Together, they offer a more complete view of biological flow.
Quiet clarification
A Biological Flow Audit is observational and educational in nature and does not constitute medical diagnosis or treatment.

Live Blood Microscopy & Cellular Observation
​
Our microscopic observation of living blood offers a close, real-time view of cellular behaviour and biological patterns as they present in the moment. Rather than aiming to diagnose or predict outcomes, this process supports careful inquiry — helping to contextualise physiological tendencies that may inform thoughtful next steps.
​
Using phase contrast, darkfield, and three-dimensional microscopy, a small sample of fresh, unstained capillary blood is observed shortly after collection. This approach allows for high-magnification viewing of whole blood in its native state, revealing relationships and structural features that are not visible using conventional brightfield microscopy.
​
The value of this form of observation lies in its ability to highlight patterns of balance, stress, or adaptation at the cellular level. In some cases, these patterns may be seen before they are clearly reflected in routine laboratory testing. When appropriate, observations may help guide supportive considerations around nutrition, lifestyle, or terrain-focused strategies — always as complementary insight rather than diagnostic instruction.
​
Depending on what is observed, a live blood audit may draw attention to patterns related to:
​
-
General immune system activity
-
Oxidative or free-radical stress tendencies
-
Variations in cell size, shape, or distribution
-
Circulatory and cardiovascular patterns
-
Essential fatty acid balance
-
Vitamin and mineral utilisation tendencies
-
Digestive and absorptive patterns
-
Iron handling tendencies
-
Lipid or plaque-related structures
-
Allergic or inflammatory tendencies
-
Hormonal patterning
-
Uric acid crystal formation tendencies
-
Liver, kidney, or spleen stress patterns
-
Environmental or chemical exposure signals
-
Degenerative or low-resilience patterns
-
Parasitic-like structures (where present)
-
Hydration and viscosity patterns
-
Circulatory flow and clotting tendencies
-
Bacterial or yeast-associated patterning
All observations are interpreted cautiously and in context, recognising that living systems are dynamic and responsive. Live blood microscopy is used at Tobias Lab as a descriptive and exploratory tool, supporting a broader, integrative understanding of biological flow rather than serving as a standalone assessment.
Extended Biological Flow Audit
Consultation: Emerging Technologies & Biological Context
Education and Exploratory Orientation
​
The environment in which human biology operates is changing rapidly. Over the past several years in particular, advances in artificial intelligence, biosensing technologies, networked systems, advanced materials, and micro-scale engineering have begun to reshape how data, signals, and materials move through the world — often in ways that are subtle, indirect, and poorly understood.
​
This consultation is designed as an educational and exploratory discussion, offering individuals an opportunity to better understand how emerging technologies may intersect with biological systems and personal health contexts. The emphasis is not on fear or prediction, but on orientation — helping individuals situate themselves thoughtfully within a complex and evolving technological landscape.
​
During this session, we explore current and developing technologies at a conceptual level, including how they are being researched, deployed, and integrated globally by institutions, organisations, and governments. Where relevant, discussion may include how biological systems respond to environmental signals, materials, or informational inputs — always framed as inquiry rather than conclusion.
​
This consultation is intended for those who wish to think more clearly about the interface between modern technology and living systems, and to engage with these topics in a grounded, critical, and informed way.
​
-
Format: Individual consultation
-
Duration: Approximately 90 minutes
-
Focus: Education, context, and exploratory discussion
