Gut Microbiome Testing
Comprehensive stool analysis of gut bacteria and digestive function
About This Treatment
Gut microbiome testing analyzes the bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms in your digestive tract, along with markers of digestion, absorption, inflammation, and immune function. Advanced tests identify beneficial and pathogenic organisms, assess diversity, and reveal specific imbalances affecting your health. Results guide targeted treatment with probiotics, prebiotics, antimicrobials, diet changes, and lifestyle modifications.

What to Expect
You collect stool samples at home using a provided kit and mail to the lab. Results come back in 2-3 weeks. In follow-up appointment, the practitioner explains findings in detail - which organisms are overgrown, which beneficial bacteria are low, markers of inflammation or malabsorption. They create a personalized protocol addressing specific imbalances. Treatment typically lasts 3-6 months with possible retesting.
