Microbiome Testing

Learn how the composition of microbes in your gut are impacting your health.

Microbiome Mapping for Gut & Immune Health

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes that influence everything from digestion and nutrient absorption to mood, immunity, and inflammation. When this delicate ecosystem is out of balance, it can lead to bloating, food sensitivities, skin issues, low energy, and even autoimmune flare-ups.

Microbiome mapping is a cutting-edge stool test that analyses the bacteria, fungi, and other organisms living in your gut. It provides a detailed picture of your gut health so we can create a targeted plan to restore balance and support your overall wellbeing.

Why Consider Microbiome Mapping?

Microbiome mapping can help uncover hidden contributors to:

  • Bloating, gas, and abdominal pain

  • Diarrhoea, constipation, or irregular bowel movements

  • Ongoing food intolerances or sensitivities

  • Frequent infections or low immunity

  • Skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, or acne

  • Autoimmune conditions and chronic inflammation

  • Mood changes, brain fog, or fatigue

By identifying the root cause, we can move beyond symptom management and work toward long-term solutions.

What the Test Measures

Microbiome mapping is far more comprehensive than standard stool tests. It can measure:

Beneficial bacteria – such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium

Opportunistic or pathogenic bacteria – including Klebsiella, Morganella, Clostridium species

Yeast and fungi – including Candida overgrowth

Parasites – microscopic organisms that may be driving gut symptoms

Markers of gut health – such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), calprotectin (inflammation), and secretory IgA (immune function)

This detailed insight allows for a truly personalised treatment approach.

What to Expect

  1. Initial Consultation – We discuss your symptoms, history, and goals to determine if microbiome mapping is the right next step.

  2. Simple At-Home Collection – The test is non-invasive and done in the privacy of your own home.

  3. Comprehensive Report & Plan – Once your results are in, we review them together and create a tailored plan, which may include diet changes, probiotics, targeted antimicrobials, and lifestyle strategies.
