Gut Health Testing
Find out what your Gut Microbiome can tell you about your health.
Research continuously discovers that the microorganisms in your gut are key players when it comes to your health and well-being.
The reason for this lies in the fact that over 50% of your body’s cells are bacterial cells (microbial). When looking at the human gut microbiome on a global scale there are 30.000 species and you have your individual combination of 200-300 out of this global pool. The food you eat gets broken down by your microbes and they produce energy, the fuel you run on.
Your gut microbiome, particularly your large intestine (colon) houses the largest number of microbes which are involved in breaking down your food, synthesising neurotransmitters and vitamins, fending off pathogenic microbes, keep the gut lining healthy and stimulate your immune system, protecting from inflammation and leaky gut.
Your microbe species and particularly their function as well as your microbial diversity are highly correlated with health or dis-ease. Research has linked gut dysbiosis, an imbalance in your microbiome function and gut species, with the following:
Metabolic disease
(overweight, obesity, type II diabetes, abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels, increased blood pressure)
Cancer
Cardiovascular disease
Allergies
Respiratory disease
(e.g. Asthma)
Neurodegenerative disease
(e.g. Parkinson, Alzheimer)
Mental disorders
(e.g. Anxiety, Depression)
Gastrointestinal disease (e.g. Celiac)
