If you have ever experienced any of the following, then it's worth testing your gut microbiome:
- Food sensitivities
- Occasional gas, bloating and constipation
- Unexpected changes in weight
- Skin or digestive issues
- Desire to elevate your health and longevity.
What does a gut microbiome test measure?
The test analyses all the DNA in your stool to identify thousands of gut microbes — including bacteria, fungi, and viruses — and the genes they carry. It measures:
- Microbial composition: which species and strains live in your gut
- Functional activity: what those microbes are doing (e.g. digestion, vitamin production, inflammation control)
- Gut health markers: balance, diversity, and presence of harmful or beneficial species
- Metabolic pathways: including those linked to short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, and GLP-1 stimulation
Together, these results reveal how your gut is influencing digestion, immunity, metabolism, and overall well-being.
What can you learn from doing a gut microbiome test?
You'll learn how your gut microbes affect digestion, inflammation, metabolism, mood, and immune health — revealing imbalances linked to bloating, energy, weight control, and overall well-being. Here are some specifics:
Is your gut imbalanced?
Dysbiosis is an imbalance in the gut microbiome many people silently suffer with. It disrupts digestion, weakens the gut wall, and can trigger bloating, inflammation, and wider health issues. Insights from the test help restore microbial balance, the key to healthy digestion, immunity, and metabolism.
Are weight loss supporting bugs thriving?
Certain gut bacteria make it easier to manage weight by helping regulate appetite hormones, blood sugar, and fat metabolism. Your test identifies whether these beneficial microbes are thriving — and gives you simple, personalised steps to help boost them for easier, more sustainable weight control.
Is inflammation present?
Certain microbes in your gut produce toxin called LPS. High levels or specific types of LPS can inflame your gut and promote the development of leaky gut and immunity problems. If found, the test will recommend ways to reduce these gut toxins.
Which foods should you minimise?
Foods like spinach and nuts aren't healthy for everyone. Many of our users have a low ability to metabolism oxalates found in some greens and nuts.
Urolithin A conversion
Your gut microbes play a powerful role in turning the polyphenols from foods like berries and walnuts into Urolithin A — a rare compound linked to better energy, muscle function, and healthy aging. We measure whether your gut has the right bacteria to make that conversion. If not, we'll help you boost your ability!
Do you detox well?
The Gut Health Test™ identifies the microbial pathways linked to detoxification and bile metabolism, showing whether your gut has the capacity to help neutralize and remove these compounds naturally.
What’s causing your gas?
Your microbiome report highlights whether your gut has the right balance of microbes to comfortably digest cruciferous vegetables — or if you might benefit from adjusting intake or supporting those bacterial pathways.
How Does it Work?
The process is simple.
Collect a small stool sample at home using the kit and send it back to our lab with reply paid postage provided.
We use advanced shotgun metagenomic sequencing to read all the DNA in your sample, identifying every microbe and what it’s doing in your gut.
Our AI then translates this data into simple, personalised insights and food recommendations to help you improve digestion, metabolism, and overall health
