The Complete Microbiome Map is one of the most sought-after gut health functional tests. It assesses a patient’s microbiome from one single stool sample, providing extensive information as to the underlying causes of digestive, hormonal and metabolic dysfunction.

The panel includes a comprehensive understanding of:

• Normal bacteria

• Opportunistic/dysbiotic bacteria

• Bacterial and viral pathogens

• Potential autoimmune triggering bacteria

• Helicobacter pylori with virulence factors

• Fungi/Yeast

• Parasites

• Worms

• Leaky gut

• Inflammation in the bowel

• Immune response (in the gut) to gluten

• Beta-glucoronidase

SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. It is defined as the excessive presence of bacteria in the small intestine.When you consume fermentable carbohydrates, these bacteria then get to work by consuming these foods and when they do they produce a gas.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF SIBO

• Bloating

• Frequent belching

• Abdominal pain or discomfort

• Diarrhoea or constipation

• Flatulence

• Foul-smelling gas

• Reflux

• Feeling tired after meals

Just like your gut, your vagina also houses its very own bacterial ecosystem. This test provides insights into the bacterial diversity in your vagina from one single vaginal swab in the comfort of your own home.

Vaginal infections, including bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), and trichomoniasis (TV), are among the most common reasons for which women seek medical investigation.

This test is ideal for a comprehensive overview of a patient’s hormonal status or trying to find the underlying cause of a real complex hormone related issue.

The Advanced DUTCH Test analyses the following aspects of your hormones:

• Stress hormones four times a day to assess your circadian rhythm

• Metabolites of your stress hormones which are a good indicator of the stress your entire body is experiencing

• Other adrenal hormones which help assess the HPA axis activity

• Melatonin otherwise known as the “sleep” hormone

• ‘Female ‘ hormones and their metabolites which informs various diseases including oestrogen dominance

• ‘Male’ hormones and their metabolites to look for signs of a hormone imbalance

The urine is the most accurate and informative way to look into your hormones, making it a great option for complex cases.

*Note this test is not suitable if you are taking oral contraceptives.

As the body ages, or following the use of certain substances, it is evident that particular hormones decline or fluctuate causing a variety of health conditions. This unique profile will provide valuable information on an individual’s hormonal status. The Male hormone profile will provide insights into a wide range of disorders, from reduced libido and muscle mass to cardiovascular disease and other hormone related imbalanced symptoms.

Lifestyle, physical and psychological stresses put constant demands on the adrenal glands. If they become depleted adrenal fatigue or insufficiency may be experienced.

Symptoms include fatigue, hypotension, and lowered resistance to stress, salt cravings, hypoglycaemia and lowered immunity.

The Adrenal Hormone & Stress Profile is a non-invasive saliva test that serves as a reliable marker of stress response and a critical tool for revealing adrenal imbalances.

Thyroid abnormalities are one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting millions worldwide. Thyroid hormones are well known for their role in basal metabolic rate, development and growth. Hypothyroidism affects approximately 4-5% of the population whilst estimates for hyperthyroidism are 0.4-2%.

The Full Thyroid Panel is a hormone test designed to provide a comprehensive analysis of thyroid hormone metabolism. It measures levels of TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, anti-TG antibodies, and anti-TPO antibodies to assess central and peripheral thyroid function, as well as thyroid auto-immunity.
