gut health testing
Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, and they play a vital role in nearly every system in your body. From digestion to immunity, to mental health, when your gut isn’t functioning properly, it can impact your entire life.
Here’s how a healthy gut benefits you:
Boosts Immunity: Over 70% of your immune system is housed in your gut, protecting you from illness.
Supports Digestion: A healthy gut helps you absorb nutrients, reducing bloating, discomfort, and food cravings.
Affects Mood & Mental Health: Your gut produces key neurotransmitters like serotonin, which play a role in regulating mood and anxiety.
Balances Weight: Gut bacteria influence metabolism, weight management, and cravings.
Detoxifies & Balances Hormones: A well-functioning gut aids in detoxifying the body and promoting hormonal balance.
When your gut is out of balance, you may experience conditions like fatigue, weight changes, digestive discomfort, or skin issues. That’s where gut testing comes in.

What Can You Learn From Gut Testing?
Gut testing offers valuable insights into the state of your digestive and immune systems. The results provide a clear picture of:
Infections
Testing can detect bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infections within the gut.Inflammation
Identifying gut inflammation helps us understand whether it’s contributing to your symptoms.Leaky Gut
Tests can assess if you have “leaky gut” (intestinal hyper-permeability), which can allow harmful particles to enter your bloodstream.Digestive Function
We’ll look at how well your body is producing digestive enzymes and acids to break down food.Detoxification
We can assess how effectively your gut is helping detoxify your body, promoting better hormone regulation and clearer skin.Gut Bacteria Balance
Testing will reveal whether you have the right balance of beneficial gut bacteria for overall health.Immune Defense
A strong gut immune system is key to defending against infections and sensitivities.Food Sensitivities
Gut tests can identify food markers that may indicate sensitivities or intolerances.

Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins OAT Test
If you're looking for a single test to get a complete picture of your digestion, gut microbiome balance, and overall metabolic health, this is it.
With over 75 biomarkers, this advanced lab test provides key insights into:
✔ Vitamin & Nutrient Deficiencies – Identify what your body needs for optimal energy and function.
✔ Gut Microbial Balance – Assess levels of beneficial bacteria and detect any harmful overgrowth.
✔ Mitochondrial & Energy Production – Understand how well your body is creating and utilizing energy.
✔ Neurotransmitter Metabolites – Get insights into brain chemistry and mood regulation.
✔ Detoxification Markers – Measure how effectively your body is clearing toxins.
Bacteria & Parasite Stool Test
If you’re experiencing bloating, discomfort, fatigue, headaches, or unexplained symptoms, an imbalance in your gut microbiome may be the cause.
This comprehensive at-home stool test provides a deep dive into your gut health by analysing:
Stool Cultures: Identifies beneficial vs. harmful bacteria and yeast imbalances.
Microscopy: Detects parasites like protozoa, roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes.
Other Markers: Screens for yeast, red & white blood cells, and inflammation indicators.
Immunoassay/Stool Antigens: Tests for harmful pathogens such as H. pylori, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium.
Comprehensive Stool Analysis: Evaluates digestion, absorption, inflammation, and the presence of hidden blood.
Your GI tract is your body’s frontline defense—when compromised, it can lead to inflammation, food intolerances, skin issues, chronic fatigue, and digestive discomfort. If you’ve been struggling with ongoing symptoms, this test can help uncover the root cause and give you a clear path to healing.
