Gut Health & Microbiome Testing
Understanding Your Gut. Supporting Your
Health.
Comprehensive digestive health assessment, gut microbiome testing and personalised naturopathic care.
Your gut microbiome plays an important role in digestion, immune function, metabolism and overall wellbeing.
Persistent bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, IBS and digestive discomfort can have multiple underlying causes.
As a Naturopath, Nutritionist and trained Functional Medicine Practitioner, I take a comprehensive, investigative approach to gut health, combining specialised testing, clinical nutrition and herbal medicine to develop personalised treatment plans.
Comprehensive Gut Microbiome Testing
Advanced stool analysis and targeted digestive investigations can provide valuable insights into your digestive health.
Gut microbial diversity – the composition and balance of beneficial and potentially harmful microorganisms.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) – testing for a bacterial infection associated with gastritis and peptic ulcers.
Gluten sensitivity & coeliac disease – appropriate investigations to distinguish coeliac disease from other gluten-related symptoms.
Bile acids – assessing potential disturbances in bile acid metabolism that may contribute to digestive symptoms.
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) – exploring microbial metabolites such as butyrate, acetate and propionate, which play important roles in intestinal health.
Digestive function & inflammation – selected stool markers relating to pancreatic function and intestinal inflammation.
Pathogenic microorganisms – investigating certain bacteria and parasites where clinically indicated.
My Approach to Gut Health
My focus is on identifying potential contributing factors rather than simply managing symptoms.
Your personalised treatment plan may include:
Comprehensive digestive health assessment and appropriate testing
Individualised nutrition to support gut function and microbial diversity
Targeted prebiotics, probiotics and nutritional supplementation
Herbal medicine selected according to your individual needs
Dietary strategies to support microbial fermentation, digestive function and bowel regularity
Lifestyle and stress management support
My approach combines scientific evidence with traditional naturopathic medicine to support digestive health and long-term wellbeing.
