Gut & Microbiome Health Testing

Why Gut Testing is Essential

Your digestive tract is home to trillions of microbes — bacteria, yeast, viruses — all of which influence how well you absorb nutrients, regulate inflammation, eliminate toxins, and communicate with your brain and immune system. When this ecosystem is imbalanced (a condition known as dysbiosis), it can lead to wide-ranging health concerns — even in people without obvious digestive symptoms.

 

Functional gut testing helps uncover hidden imbalances and allows us to treat with clarity, not guesswork.

​

Functional Gut Tests I Offer

I work with leading Australian laboratories — NutriPath and RN Labs — to provide comprehensive gut and microbiome testing tailored to your needs and symptoms.

​

GI-MAP (DNA Stool Test – NutriPath)

One of the most advanced gut tests available.
Assesses:

• Bacterial balance (beneficial vs. pathogenic strains)

• Parasites, worms, and pathogens

• Yeast and Candida overgrowth

• Inflammatory markers (calprotectin, zonulin)

• Immune response markers (secretory IgA)

• Pancreatic function (elastase-1)

• Occult blood and gastrointestinal health indicators

• H. pylori + virulence factors

• Microbiome diversity and balance

​

Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis (CDSA – RN Labs)

Ideal for assessing:

• Gut flora imbalances

• Inflammation, leaky gut, or digestive insufficiency

• Fat malabsorption or undigested food residues

• Enzyme and acid function

• Short-chain fatty acid production

​

​

SIBO Breath Testing (Lactulose/Glucose)

Used to identify Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, a leading cause of:

• Bloating after meals

• Constipation or diarrhoea

• Abdominal pain

• Gas and food intolerance

• Fatigue and brain fog after eating

​

​

Zonulin & Intestinal Permeability Markers

Evaluate whether you may have leaky gut, a condition linked to:

• Autoimmune activation

• Skin flare-ups (eczema, acne, psoriasis)

• Food sensitivities

• Chronic inflammation

My Unique Gut-First, Brain-Backed Approach

 

As a Clinical Naturopath, Nutritionist, and Neuroscientist, I approach gut health as more than digestion — it’s the foundation of your immune system, emotional regulation, energy levels, and detoxification pathways.

I bring over a decade of experience in connecting gut dysfunction to broader biochemical imbalances, hormone disruption, mood disorders, fatigue syndromes, and even neurological inflammation.

 

Many clients come to me with symptoms like:

​

• “I’ve tried everything and I’m still bloated”

• “My GP says my tests are normal, but I feel off every day”

• “I can’t eat what I used to — everything triggers symptoms now”

• “My digestion is okay, but my fatigue, brain fog, or skin isn’t”

 

That’s where functional gut testing becomes the key to unlocking real answers.

​

​

Conditions That Gut Testing May Help Uncover or Support:

• IBS, IBD, constipation, diarrhoea

• Bloating, food intolerances, nausea

• Reflux and indigestion

• SIBO and dysbiosis

• Skin conditions (eczema, acne, rosacea)

• Autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto’s, coeliac, psoriasis)

• Chronic fatigue, ME/CFS

• Hormonal imbalances, PCOS, PMS

• Anxiety, depression, brain fog

• Long COVID and post-viral syndromes
