Gut Healing
Your ecosystem is made up of trillions of microbes, collectively known as your gut microbiome.
Over the past decade, research has shown that the gut
microbiome plays a measurable role in many aspects of human health. The number and types of bugs in your gut is like a fingerprint ,unique to you, reflecting your lifestyle, diet and environment.
Your microbiome holds the key to better health
Your microbiome is made of up trillions of microbes that affect essential aspects of your health such as:
Digesting food
Supporting your immune system
Balancing Metabolism
Introducing mood, and energy
A balanced microbiome is essential for overall health. When your gut microbiome is in harmony, you experience steady energy, smooth digestion, and enhanced emotional resilience. However, disruptions can lead to various health issues. Pay attention to early warning signs from your body, as they can indicate an imbalance that needs addressing.
What are the early warning signs?
Digestive Discomfort
bloating, cramps, constipation, unexpected diarrhoea
Inflammation
ongoing irritation in the gut that disrupts wellbeing
Whole- Body Effects
low energy, hormonal changes, stubborn weight, frequent illness
Mental Health changes
mood swings, stress
Skin Issues
breakouts, rashes, flare-ups
Food Reactivity
food intolerances and sensitivities
Microbiome Explorer Comprehensive
The Microbiome Explorer Comprehensive evaluates:
Gut microbiome diversity and balance
Gastrointestinal dysbiosis
Beneficial and commensal bacteria
Harmful bacterial pathogens
-
Sulphur- and methane-producing bacteria
-
Opportunistic parasites
-
Yeasts, fungi and moulds
-
Microbial function and metabolic activity
-
Gut inflammation and immune function
-
Digestive function and intestinal barrier health
Gain a deeper understanding of your gut health with our Microbiome Explorer Comprehensive stool test. Using advanced metagenomic sequencing, this test analyses over 28,000 microbial species alongside key digestive health markers to provide a detailed picture of your gastrointestinal microbiome.
Whether you're experiencing ongoing digestive symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea, constipation or IBS, or simply want to optimise your gut health, this comprehensive assessment can help identify potential imbalances and hidden contributors to poor digestive function.

Why choose this test?
Many gastrointestinal conditions can be linked to microbial imbalances that are not routinely detected by standard stool testing. This profile can identify organisms such as Dientamoeba fragilis and Blastocystis hominis, which have been associated with IBS symptoms, as well as potentially pathogenic bacteria including Klebsiella, Citrobacter freundii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The test also screens for Candida albicans and other yeast species, including Geotrichum, which may contribute to digestive symptoms in some individuals.
Ideal for individuals experiencing:
-
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
-
Bloating and excessive gas
-
Diarrhoea or constipation
-
Abdominal discomfort
-
Food intolerances
-
Unexplained digestive symptoms
-
Suspected gut dysbiosis
-
Recurrent gastrointestinal infections
-
Ongoing digestive health concerns
With detailed insights into your gut microbiome, digestive function and intestinal health, the Microbiome Explorer Comprehensive provides valuable information to help guide personalised nutrition, lifestyle and clinical interventions.
