Exploring Gut Fundamentals Package
Understand Your Gut. Know What to Do Next.
Bloating, digestive discomfort, changes in bowel habits or simply feeling like your gut isn’t quite right?
Sometimes symptoms alone don’t give you the whole picture.
The Exploring Gut Fundamentals Package combines comprehensive Microba microbiome testing with personalised practitioner support from Naturopath Alisha Bennett, to help you better understand your gut microbiome and, importantly, what your results may mean for you.
Rather than receiving a complicated report and being left to interpret it yourself, you’ll be guided through your findings in the context of your symptoms, health history and goals.
Get clarity. Understand your results. Know your next step.
What’s Going On Inside Your Gut?
Your digestive tract is home to trillions of microorganisms collectively known as your gut microbiome.
These microorganisms interact with many aspects of health, including digestion, immune function, metabolism and the production of compounds that influence the wider body.
When the balance, diversity or function of this ecosystem changes, it may be associated with digestive symptoms and other health concerns.
The challenge is that symptoms don’t necessarily tell us exactly what’s happening within your microbiome.
That’s where testing can provide another piece of the puzzle.
