Gut Health Naturopaths in Newcastle

Microbiome testing and root cause care for bloating, IBS and digestive symptoms that haven’t responded to anything else.

If you’ve been told your results are normal but you’re still bloated, uncomfortable, or planning your day around your symptoms, there’s usually more to find.

Stop guessing and start healing

Your gut microbiome is a vibrant community of trillions of microbes.

Gut health holds the key to your digestion, energy, immunity, mental and overall health. When this delicate balance is disrupted, it can lead to bloating, fatigue, autoimmune conditions, and even mood disorders.

Don’t put up with distressing gut symptoms anymore – stop guessing and start healing!

Signs your gut may be out of balance

Common symptoms may include:

  • Bloating, gas or indigestion
  • Constipation or diarrhoea
  • Food intolerances or sensitivities
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Skin concerns such as acne, psoriasis or eczema
  • Frequent infections or low immune resilience
  • Mood changes, anxiety or brain fog
  • Inflammatory and autoimmune presentations

You don’t need all of these for your gut to be worth investigating. Persistent digestive symptoms that haven’t resolved with dietary change are reason enough.

How we can help

Our Functional Medicine Approach to Gut Health

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 Microba microbiome testing (stool analysis), Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) testing, food sensitivity testing and much more. 

We focus on optimising and diversifying your diet to nourish beneficial gut bacteria and reduce inflammation. This can sound scary if your diet is minimal due to fear of a flare-up of symptoms. We work to uncover the root causes of why your gut and immune system are having these reactions. 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 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 may include liver support 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.

Common Questions About Gut Health and Microbiome Testing

We work with a wide range of digestive concerns, including (but not limited to) bloating, reflux, GERD, constipation, diarrhoea, IBS, SIBO, SIFO, food intolerances and microbiome imbalances, as well as the gut's role in skin, mood, hormonal and immune health. Our focus is on identifying what's driving your symptoms rather than only easing them temporarily.

Microbiome testing analyses the bacteria and other microbes in your gut to reveal imbalances, low diversity, or overgrowths that may be contributing to your symptoms. At Wellness Vision we use Microba Complete GI mapping, which provides a detailed picture of gut function. Results guide a targeted plan built around data, rather than a generic gut protocol.

They answer different questions. Microbiome testing maps the bacteria in your large intestine and overall gut function. A SIBO breath test specifically detects bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine, which is a common and often missed driver of bloating and IBS type symptoms. Your practitioner will recommend whichever test is most relevant to your presentation, sometimes both.

Yes. IBS is one of the most common reasons people come to us. Rather than treating IBS as a single condition, we investigate the specific drivers behind your symptoms, which may include SIBO, microbiome imbalance, food intolerances, stress, or gut motility issues (often more than one at a time). This allows us to form a targeted plan instead of relying on trial and error.

Many people begin with foundational dietary and lifestyle work before any testing. Testing is worthwhile when symptoms are complex, persistent, or not responding, and when a result would change our approach to treatment. Your practitioner will advise whether testing is warranted for your situation or whether to start simpler.

Realign your gut health and regain quality of life!

At Wellness Vision, we believe that optimal gut health is one of the foundations for overall wellness. Your gut can be healed by addressing the root causes of gut dysfunction.

Jasmin is a wonderful wholistic practitioner. She listens and problem solves with the client. Her treatments are evidence based and really empowering- including education on lifestyle factors, dietary modifications (including what to ADD not just what to cut out) and high quality supplements. I managed to avoid medications with horrible side effects because of our work together and have never felt better.
