FUNCTIONAL GUT TESTING

Why Functional Gut Testing Matters

Functional gut testing is a powerful way to uncover the root causes of digestive imbalances and chronic symptoms. When combined with your health history, diet, lifestyle, and goals, it allows for a highly personalised approach accelerating healing and supporting long-term wellness.

No more guesswork - just clear, targeted insights into what your body truly needs to restore balance and thrive.

Who Can Benefit from Functional Gut Testing?

Almost everyone can gain valuable insights from gut testing, but it’s especially beneficial for:

Chronic Digestive Issues

If you’ve tried everything yet still experience bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, or reflux, functional testing can reveal the underlying drivers often missed by conventional methods.

Unexplained Chronic Illness

Ideal for those struggling with long-term symptoms without clear diagnosis or resolution - helping identify hidden microbial, inflammatory, or metabolic factors.

Proactive Wellness

Even in the absence of symptoms, testing provides a powerful roadmap for those wanting to optimise digestion, prevent future issues, and enhance energy, mood, and vitality.

  IBS, IBD (Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis), intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”)
