Bloating after meals. Constant fatigue. Brain fog that won't lift. Frequent illness. These aren't random complaints—they're symptoms of a gut microbiome out of balance. The trillions of bacteria in your digestive system influence everything from immunity to mood, yet most people have no idea what's actually happening inside them.
Your gut contains over 100 trillion microorganisms—more than all the human cells in your body. Our analysis uses 16S rRNA sequencing to identify bacterial species, measure diversity, and detect imbalances that affect your health, immunity, and mental wellbeing.
Help break down complex carbohydrates and extract calories. Imbalances linked to weight management issues.
Specialise in breaking down plant fibres and producing beneficial short-chain fatty acids.
Support intestinal barrier function and compete against harmful bacteria.
Small populations are normal, but overgrowth indicates inflammation or dysbiosis.
Verrucomicrobia, Fusobacteria, and rare species that contribute to overall diversity.
We analyse diversity indices (how many different species), abundance ratios (proportions of key groups), and functional pathways (what your bacteria are actually doing)—giving you a complete picture of your gut health.
A balanced microbiome isn't just about digestion—it's the foundation of whole-body health. From mental clarity to immune strength, optimizing your gut bacteria creates cascading benefits that transform how you feel every day.
Identify bacterial imbalances causing bloating, gas, constipation, or IBS symptoms. Get targeted probiotic and prebiotic recommendations to restore digestive harmony.
Your gut houses 70% of your immune system. Optimize the bacteria that train immune cells, reduce inflammation, and protect against pathogens.
90% of serotonin is produced in the gut. Balance the bacteria that manufacture neurotransmitters, reduce brain fog, and stabilise energy levels throughout the day.
Certain bacteria help you absorb vitamins, minerals, and beneficial compounds from food. Optimize these populations to get more nutrition from every meal.
*Results based on published microbiome research and clinical studies. Individual outcomes may vary. Microbiome testing provides insights for lifestyle optimisation and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease.
Understanding your microbiome is simple and private. Here's what to expect from kit to customized gut health plan.
Your microbiome collection kit arrives with a sterile collection tube, easy-to-follow instructions, and a prepaid return envelope.
Collect a small stool sample using the provided swab. The process is hygienic, quick, and designed for easy at-home use.
Seal your sample and drop it in any postbox. Our stabiliser solution keeps the bacterial DNA intact during transit.
Your sample undergoes 16S rRNA sequencing to identify and quantify hundreds of bacterial species in your gut ecosystem.
Our bioinformatics team analyses your bacterial composition, diversity metrics, and functional pathways against optimal health benchmarks.
Receive your comprehensive report with specific probiotic, prebiotic, and dietary recommendations to optimise your microbiome.
Comprehensive microbiome analysis with actionable recommendations
We recommend retesting after 3-6 months of implementing your personalised protocol. Compare results to see how your microbiome responds to dietary and lifestyle changes.
Foundation
The microbiome influences immunity, mood, metabolism, and inflammation. Understanding your gut ecosystem is essential for whole-body optimisation.
Discover which beneficial bacteria thrive in your system and which may need support.
Balance
Modern life disrupts gut balance through stress, antibiotics, and processed foods. Microbiome testing identifies specific imbalances affecting your health.
Receive targeted recommendations for probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary changes.
Connection
Your gut produces neurotransmitters affecting mood, focus, and sleep. A healthy microbiome supports mental clarity and emotional resilience.
Optimise your second brain for better cognitive performance and stress management.

The Optimal Ecosystem
Each system strengthens the next. Hyperbaric therapy enriches oxygen supply. PEMF recharges energy at the cellular level. Cryotherapy refines circulation and repair. Hydrogen water restores balance and hydration.
PEMF Therapy
PEMF enhances the restorative effects by improving cellular charge, microcirculation, and energy production. It helps reduce inflammation, restore balance, and maintain performance.
Cryotherapy
Cold exposure stimulates vascular response and promotes faster recovery. Temperature contrast improves blood flow, reduces soreness, and boosts resilience.
Hydrogen Water
Hydrogen water supports redox balance and antioxidant defence. It helps neutralise free radicals, enhances hydration, and promotes sustained energy.
Red Light Therapy
Photobiomodulation enhances mitochondrial function and ATP production. It accelerates tissue repair and supports skin health, muscle recovery, and overall cellular vitality.
