What is a Gut Health Test?

Reclaim Your Gut Health, Reclaim Your Energy

How does Gut Health Test work?

Gut health tests are a form of diagnostic tool that analyses your gut microbiome: This is the combination of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms which inhabit your digestive system. These Microorganisms have a lot of functions in the human body such as digestion, immune function, nutrient absorption etc. A simple gut test to rule in many of the imbalances and triggers for IBS can be a valuable tool in turning around these symptoms for good. A gut health test can detect imbalances and triggers that are characteristic for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and gain important insights on how to treat the symptoms effectively.

How do you know if you have bacteria in your gut? A person has about 500-1000 different species of bacteria in their digestive tract. A gut health test begins with a stool sample. You will be sent a kit with directions on how to take a small sample of stool at home. Once you have the sample, you mail it to a lab for testing. The lab uses advanced technology, sometimes even DNA sequencing, to identify the types and levels of microorganisms in your gut.

Saw Omar today for a steroid injection in a cystic spot that’s been bothering me for a while. Honestly wish I’d just gone in sooner because the treatment was quick, painless, and very fairly priced. As a side note, the clinic is beautiful and in a great location! Would recommend!

Personalised Digestive Insights
Why do you need to try a Gut Health Test?

This may help to detect issues, such as excess bad gut bugs, food intolerances or inflammation which are causing symptoms or impacting on your health. Get personalised recommendations to enhance digestion, increase energy, and promote better health by knowing more about what your gut is telling you.

Targeted Gut Solutions
Make sure to keep this in mind

Gut health test is just like any other medical test and hence chances are there are slightly higher or lower accuracy as multiple reasons that can influence the accuracy of your gut health. We strongly advise you to speak with your specialist about the symptoms you are experiencing and your health history so that they can determine which test for gut health might be most appropriate.

Long Term Maintenance
How to optimize Gut Health results?

To maintain ageless beauty and always look your best, it is recommended to have a Hydrafacial treatment every 4 to 6 weeks. This interval takes into account factors such as your skin type and specific skin concerns, following general guidelines to achieve optimal results.

Maintaining Good Skin After a Series of Hydrafacials:

Once your skin is in good condition, you can transition to a maintenance phase to keep it healthy and rejuvenated. As individual skin needs vary, it is best to consult your skin doctor for a personalised treatment plan that suits you.

Be sure to adhere to any specific instructions given by your practitioner regarding diet or sampling.

What can you expect during the treatment?
