Basic Gut Health (Microbiome) test

Summary:

This test is a general gut health test, to help provide you a basic understanding of your current gut health, via the population of microbes present in your gut. It can help you understand where you might need to make further changes to improve.

It will provide you with an understanding of the types and levels of bacteria, yeast, fungi, parasites that populate your gut.

You will be able to understand how your results (for the areas listed above) compare against a healthy cohort. And, what intervention options may be suitable to improve your gut health. After the brief follow on consultation, we can help adjust your support programme (where applicable) so you can make improvements. And, if/where you need additional one-to-one support, we can provide that too.

What's included?

• The test itself, delivery of the test kit, return of it, a summary of results.
• The test also includes a brief follow up consultation to discuss the results. Your individual programme with us can then be adjusted (if/where necessary), to suit improving your gut health.

Is it right for me?

This is appropriate for those who aren't experiencing any significant gut health symptoms and believe they are generally healthy otherwise. If you desire more in depth information on your digestion and absorption status, inflammation and immunology, as well as metabolic health key biomarkers, or if you are already experiencing significant gut health symptoms, then the Enhanced Gut Health (Microbiome) Test is more suited to your needs. If you need any help please do chat to us and we can help you. If you haven't already taken our Lifestyle Health Assessment, then this and our follow on consultation could help you determine which test is most appropriate for you.

Please contact us if you'd like to request any particular add-ons to this test, such as examination for worms, or particular viruses or bacteria. We can then provide an up to date cost with the extras.

The test uses multiple methodologies to provide the most clinically accurate assessment of bacteria, yeast, and parasites currently available on the market. The test includes quantitative assessment of commensal bacteria to determine healthy bacterial balance, based on research and analysis of hundreds of thousands of patient results . This data-driven, evidence-based analysis establishes a firm foundation from which to base health decisions and treatment.
