Microbiome
Stool Test

A deeper look at your gut health, so we can understand the root cause not just the symptoms.

Why do a Microba stool test?

Your gut microbiome is made up of trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live in your digestive tract. These microbes influence almost every system in your body from how well you digest food and absorb nutrients, to how balanced your mood and immune system are.

A microba stool test provides a detailed snapshot of this inner ecosystem, allowing us to identify what’s helping or hindering your health.

What the test measures

The microba test uses advanced metagenomic sequencing, meaning it looks at all the microbial DNA in your stool, not just a few species that can be grown in a lab.

This gives us an accurate picture of

Bacterial diversity

How balanced your gut community is. A diverse microbiome is linked to better resilience and overall health.

Beneficial vs harmful species

Which bacteria support gut lining integrity, inflammation control, and metabolism and which may be contributing to bloating, fatigue, or brain fog.

Microbial metabolites

These are the chemical messengers your microbes produce such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which reduce inflammation and support energy production.

Functional capacity

Not just who’s there, but what they’re doing for example, are they helping detoxify oestrogen, break down histamine, or process fibre efficiently?

Why it matters

Immune Function

Up to 70% of your immune cells reside in the gut.

Hormone Balance

Microbes can recycle or deactivate hormones like oestrogen and cortisol.

Brain and Mood

Struggle to lose weight or manage inflammation despite doing “everything right”

Inflammation and Detoxification

Certain species either calm or fuel systemic inflammation.

What’s Really
Holding You Back?

If you’ve been living with ongoing gut symptoms, food reactions, bloating or fatigue, it’s easy to feel like you’ve tried everything.

Often, the missing piece isn’t another supplement or another diet. It’s understanding why your symptoms developed in the first place.

Microbiome testing is one of the tools I use to uncover those answers and create a treatment plan that’s guided by your biology, not guesswork.
