When this delicate balance is disrupted, it can lead to bloating, fatigue, autoimmune conditions, and even mood disorders.

How we can help

Our Functional Medicine Approach to Gut Health

Our Gut Health Program goes beyond quick fixes. We work to uncover the root causes of your symptoms and create a clear, actionable plan to restore balance. This is your chance to deeply heal, improve nutrient absorption, and build lasting resilience, so you can feel your best every day.

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms, lifestyle, diet and health & life history.

We have a range of functional testing options based on your needs, such as DNA-based microbiome testing (or stool analysis), Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (or SIBO) testing, food sensitivity testing and much more. 

We focus on optimising your diet to nourish beneficial gut bacteria and reduce inflammation. This can sound scary if your diet is minimal due to fear of a gut "flare", however when we uncover the causes and slowly modulate your diet, our aim is to gradually widen your diet to increase health promoting foods and allow you to enjoy eating and socialising again.

We may incorporate targeted probiotics or prebiotics to replenish beneficial bacteria and nourish the beneficial species in your microbiome. This also helps to crowd out unwanted species to restore the microbiome balance and improve gut function.

To repair the gut lining, we use specific foods and supplements to support intestinal integrity and reduce leaky gut. Additionally, herbal antimicrobials may be used to address bacterial overgrowth or yeast infections, however we minimise the use of these to ensure minimal microbial damage.

We support the body’s detox pathways to eliminate harmful toxins that may contribute to gut dysbiosis. This includes liver detox protocols and nutritional strategies to support the gut-liver axis.

Chronic stress & lack of sleep have a profound impact on gut health, so we help you address these issues to support optimal balance of gut, body and mind. 

Foods for gut health

Key Drivers of Gut Imbalance

Several factors can negatively impact the gut microbiome, contributing to poor health outcomes:

  • Poor Diet – Diets high in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats and low in fibre can feed harmful bacteria, leading to dysbiosis.
  • Antibiotic Use or excessive herbal anti-microbials – While antibiotics are sometimes necessary, they can indiscriminately kill both harmful and beneficial bacteria, disrupting the gut ecosystem. Excessive use of strong herbal anti-microbial formulations can cause similar disruptions.
  • Chronic Stress – Persistent stress can impair digestion, weaken the gut lining, and disrupt the microbiome balance, leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut).
  • Environmental Toxins – Exposure to toxins like pesticides and heavy metals can damage the gut lining and alter the microbial landscape.
  • Lack of Sleep – Poor sleep quality or chronic sleep deprivation negatively affects the gut, reducing microbial diversity and impairing digestion.

Signs of an Unhealthy Gut

Common symptoms of an imbalanced gut include (but aren’t limited to):

  • Bloating, gas, or indigestion
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Food intolerances or sensitivities
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Skin issues like acne or eczema
  • Frequent infections or a weakened immune system
  • Mood imbalances such as anxiety or depression
  • Cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease or fatty liver.

The Gut-Brain Connection

The gut is often referred to as the “second brain” because it produces neurotransmitters like serotonin, which affect mood and emotional well-being. Dysbiosis can disrupt this communication, leading to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and brain fog. By restoring gut balance, it is possible to improve both physical and mental health.
