Bloating
Bloating is a generic symptom of most gut dysfunction, and is a poor indicator of the root cause. Caused by bacterial reactions to poorly digested food, fat-malabsorption, or microbiome imbalance. We take whole-gut approach to resolving bloating.
SIBO & IMO
SIBO is a huge driver in inflammation, food intolerances and histamine intolerance - but you treat SIBO by treating its cause. We include thorough assessments to identify triggers, root-cause drivers, & use natural compounds to ensure symptoms do not return.
Histamine Intolerance
A common consequence of SIBO or trigger for Acid Reflux. Our comprehensive assessments and tests aim to rule histamine in or out as an issue for you.
heartburn & acid reflux
Heartburn and reflux is often the tip of an iceberg, from years of subtle underlying digestive issues such as IBS. In most cases we need a whole digestive investigation to resolve. See 5 Causes of Reflux.
Food intolerances
The bane of IBS & SIBO sufferers lives. If you stress about what to eat and food triggers, we’re here to help you make sense of it.
Gut Health - The root of whole body wellbeing
Relentless stress, repeated antibiotic courses or a food-poisoning incidence can trigger gut issues that may then persist for decades, or until the root-cause is resolved. Sometimes the trigger is less clear, such as a history of fussy eating, genetics or relying too much on convenience foods.
Digestive health lies at the root of many modern chronic conditions and may be reducing your absorption of nutrients - or be triggering widespread inflammation throughout the body. Imbalanced gut bacteria can be a source of inflammation, UTI’s, pain, mental health, & fatigue.
If you’re also battling underlying hormone imbalances - your symptoms will be amplified, and you won’t be feeling great.
Our Ethos
We Don’t believe in masking symptoms.
We’re not satisfied with just being told everything is ‘fine’, and neither should you.
Simply masking symptoms with lifelong antacids use while ignoring serious digestive dysfunction.
Settling for laxatives without addressing the underlying microbiome imbalance.
Accepting chronic inflammation as inevitable, even when it leads to pain and serious disease.
Overlooking metabolic breakdown that drive stubborn weight gain, increased appetite, hormonal imbalances, and difficult menopausal transitions.
Given Whilst we don’t always have all the answers, we believe that taking the root-cause approach is the only right approach.
Healing IBS is about more than just the FodMap Diet
..IBS sufferers often struggle to get a diagnosis, to get the right help, and to move themselves away from an overly restrictive FodMap diet..

Advanced Gut Testing for Root-Cause Insights
The gut-body Connection in root cause healthcare
gut & pain
Our gut is a huge driver in inflammation and pain.
We dial down inflammation from the inside, using food, tests and a personalised programmed designed to your individual triggers.
brain-fog & cognition
If your dopamine is depleted, you’ll loose your motivation, focus, drive and even your physical coordination can suffer. You’ll be more prone to seeking out sugar, coffee, or develop ‘bad habits’ or addictions. You may feel stuck in a hamster wheel, but there is a way out - and we’re here to help by personalising your approach, based on science.
Hormone imbalance
The biggest disruptor to sex hormones is stress and the modern diet - but there’s also a strong correlation with gut bacteria, inflammation and the liver. We map out your hormone imbalances with deeper tests to identify core imbalances not always picked up on your routine bloods, and make some corrections to the diet to promote better balance.
fatigue & burnout
The fallout from chronic over-work or feeling overwhelmed isn’t just limited to our adrenals. Digestive issues, chronic pain and pain conditions, inflammation, over eating, using sugar and alcohol as a crutch and hormone imbalances go hand in hand.
gut & brain
Inflammation doesn’t just affect body-pain, it also affects our brain & nervous system. If you add blood sugar dysregulation into the mix, you’ll likely be feeling anxious, have brain-fog or low motivation - or you may even experience emotional eating & weight gain.
Thyroid health
If you’re taking levothyroxine or have been told your thyroid biomarkers are raised, you may be experiencing heartburn or other digestive issues. Levothyroxine medication benefits from nutritional support for best effectiveness and to reduce impact on gut. We’ll help improve your thyroid support with targeted nutrition.

It can be, but bloating is very non-specific. You may also experience bloating if you’re constipated, not digesting fats well or have a say dairy intolerance. This is why we usually use specialists tests.
-
Yes we can, although leaky gut is often misrepresented, and it may actually not be super relevant to your gut issues.

Functional medicine views gut health as central to overall wellness and the root of many health issues, including autoimmune diseases, mental health disorders, and chronic inflammation. This approach involves a thorough examination of an individual's diet, lifestyle, environmental factors, and genetic predisposition. Practitioners often use comprehensive testing, such as stool analysis and food sensitivity tests, to identify underlying problems like microbial imbalances, leaky gut syndrome, or nutrient deficiencies. Treatment strategies typically include personalized dietary modifications, probiotic and prebiotic supplementation, stress reduction techniques, and sometimes targeted medications or herbal remedies.

For many people with severe digestive issues, you may be surprised to learn that you’re unlikely to have a ‘diet-problem’, and it’s much more likely you have a ‘digestive-problem’. What this means is, you can often not simply use food or a change in diet to resolve your gut issues.

For majority of people, this comes highly recommended. You’ve probably already tried to heal your gut, but have struggled to identify exactly what’s wrong. Unfortunately with gut issues, symptoms such as bloating, wind and constipation are the same whether you have fat malabsorption, parasites or candida for example. So symptoms alone can’t tell you what’s wrong. A test cuts out guess work, miss anything and wasted time and money. Our guess is you may already have wasted time (for many, it’s wasted years) on feeling crappy, and it’s time for results. When you don’t have your health, you really do have nothing!
