Are you curious about your gut health? Discover the hidden world within your gut with our gut microbiome package, providing valuable insights into the composition of your gut microbiome, empowering you to optimise your gut health and overall wellbeing.
The gut is crucial for digesting food and absorbing nutrients. It also houses a significant portion of the body’s immune system—about 70%—making it vital for overall health. Additionally, it influences mood and cognitive function, acting as the gateway to wellbeing.
Your gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms that play a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and overall health. Imbalances in the gut microbiome can lead to a variety of health issues, including digestive problems, weakened immunity, and inflammation. Understanding the composition of your gut microbiome is essential for identifying imbalances and taking steps to restore harmony to your gut.
Our gut microbiome package includes a 60-minute consultation with our qualified clinical dietitian, a comprehensive body composition analysis, vital signs assessment and a convenient at-home sample collection. The meticulous lab analysis and a thorough 60-minute follow-up consultation will help you understand which foods will benefit your microbiome based on your unique DNA profile.

What is the gut microbiome?
The gut microbiome refers to the complex community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes, that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract. It plays a vital role in various physiological functions, such as digestion, metabolism, immune system regulation, and even brain function.
Are there specific foods that can harm the gut microbiome?
Processed foods high in sugar, artificial sweeteners, and unhealthy fats can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria and contribute to inflammation. Certain medications like antibiotics can also negatively impact the gut microbiome.
What are the potential consequences of an imbalanced gut microbiome?
An imbalanced gut microbiome, known as dysbiosis, has been linked to various health issues including digestive disorders, autoimmune diseases, obesity, and mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety.
How should I prepare for a gut microbiome test?
If you have been on any antibiotic or antimicrobial therapy, then it is recommended to wait for 30 days before testing your gut microbiome. There is no need to discontinue any other medications or supplements, nor avoid any foods prior to doing the test.
What does the testing process involve?
Our comprehensive package involves a series of elements, starting from an initial vital signs assessment, evaluating general appearance, height, weight, and body composition analysis. You will then be required to do a at home stool sample, and will be provided with a collection kit, including instructions, swab, specimen bags and courier service for lab analysis. Results will be available between 4-6 weeks, after which you will be booked in for a 60-minute follow-up consultation with our clinical dietician to help understand which foods will benefit your microbiome based on your unique DNA profile.
