Decode Your Microbiome
Explore what may be shaping digestion, inflammation, resilience and gut–brain signalling.
Could microbiome testing help explain what symptoms alone can’t?
If you feel like you’ve tried 'all the right things' but still struggle with:
-
Bloating, food reactivity or unpredictable digestion
-
Constipation or altered bowel habits
-
Hormonal symptoms that seem linked to your gut
-
Histamine-type symptoms, skin flares or immune reactivity
-
Fatigue, brain fog or low resilience
-
A sense your body is reacting, but you don’t know why
Microbiome testing can help us look beneath symptoms and explore patterns that may be influencing how your system is functioning. Book in for a free call to see microbiome testing might be right for you.
This is not simply a parasite test or bacteria count.
I use Microba because it goes beyond identifying microbes present. It helps explore:
-
Microbial diversity and ecosystem balance
-
Gut immune and inflammatory signals
-
Digestive and barrier function
-
Motility and methane-related patterns
-
Functional pathways linked to metabolism, detoxification and gut-brain signalling
Some versions also include GI markers such as calprotectin, pancreatic elastase, secretory IgA and pathogen screening.
That means we are not just asking:
What is there?
​
We are asking:
What may this pattern be doing?
That is much more clinically useful.
I interpret your results through a functional lens, using four areas:
Ecosystem Balance
​
Looking at diversity, resilience and microbial balance.
Gut Defence & Tolerance
Exploring immune reactivity, tolerance patterns and whether the gut may be acting “on alert”.
Barrier, Inflammation & Signalling
Looking at gut lining, inflammatory signalling and gut–brain communication.
Metabolic & Detox Load
Exploring microbial patterns that may influence hormones, metabolism and elimination.
​
This helps turn complex data into a practical personalised plan.
(Not just a report.)

A phased plan — not a long list of supplements
A realistic step by step strategy focused on sustainable change.
Microbiome testing can offer powerful clues - but it is not a crystal ball.
It does not diagnose every symptom.
It is one lens, used alongside your history, symptoms, bloodwork, hormones and the wider functional medicine picture.
I use testing when it adds clarity, not as a default.

​There’s actually growing expert consensus that microbiome data should be interpreted in clinical context, not used as a standalone answer.
