Digestive Health
Digestive health means more than just having a regular motion. As a matter of fact, the importance of our digestive health is only just beginning to be understood, with our digestive bacteria now being referred to as our ‘microbiome’. Our microbiome is now considered to be imperative to our ongoing health, with imbalances being linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, allergies and even cancer.

Your Digestive Health is fundamental to your ongoing wellbeing. Every cell in your body is made not just with the foods you eat, but these foods are also literally “speaking” directly with your genes and controlling which genes are copied or silenced.

Our Functional Medicine practitioner can help you resolve or better manage digestive disorders including: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis), Reflux/heartburn, Constipation, Diarrhoea, excessive Flatulence, Halitosis (bad breath), Bloating, Food Intolerances and Abdominal Pain.

We offer a range of functional pathology tests to assist in the pinpointing of food intolerances, maldigestion, leaky gut, parasites and bacterial balance.

We are excited to offer genetic gut microbial testing – which enables us to ascertain the ratio of different bacterial types in the colon. We can compare these ratios against healthy controls, enabling us to tailor nutritional plans and supplement the right probiotics to address imbalances.
