Gut Microbiome Mapping

Complete Microbiome Mapping Test

Your gut is far more than a digestive organ. It is home to trillions of bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms that collectively influence your immune system, your mood, your sleep, and even your behaviour. When the gut is out of balance, the effects are rarely confined to the digestive system — they ripple outward in ways that can be difficult to trace back to their source. This comprehensive stool analysis gives you an unprecedented window into what is happening inside your gut, so you can stop managing symptoms and start addressing the root cause.

What This Test Measures:

PCR Quantitative Analysis

• Beneficial Bacteria — A detailed assessment of the diversity and composition of your gut microbiome, identifying beneficial bacteria that may be depleted and opportunistic strains that may be overgrowing
• Opportunistic Bacteria — Detection of bacteria that, when overgrown, can disrupt gut balance and contribute to a wide range of digestive and systemic symptoms
• Fungi & Yeast — Detection of candida and other fungal species that can drive bloating, fatigue, brain fog, sugar cravings, and persistent digestive discomfort
• Bacterial Pathogens — Screening for harmful bacteria that may be quietly disrupting your gut environment and overall health
• Viral Pathogens — Identification of viral agents that can contribute to gut dysfunction and immune dysregulation
• Parasites & Worms — Comprehensive screening for parasitic infections that are often missed by standard testing but can cause significant and wide-ranging symptoms
• Zonulin — A key marker of intestinal permeability, commonly known as “leaky gut,” where a compromised gut lining allows unwanted particles to enter the bloodstream and trigger systemic inflammation
• Calprotectin — A sensitive marker of gut inflammation, useful for distinguishing inflammatory conditions from functional digestive issues
• Faecal Occult Blood — Detection of hidden blood in the stool, an important screening marker for gut integrity and colorectal health
• Pancreatic Elastase — An indicator of pancreatic enzyme sufficiency and your body’s ability to properly break down and absorb the food you eat
• Secretory IgA (sIgA) — A critical measure of gut immune defence; low levels can leave the gut lining vulnerable to infection and inflammation
• β-Glucuronidase — An enzyme marker linked to oestrogen metabolism, toxin recirculation, and increased inflammatory load when elevated
• Short-Chain Fatty Acids — These critical compounds, produced when beneficial gut bacteria ferment fibre, play a vital role in gut lining integrity, immune regulation, and brain health

Why Gut Health Matters Beyond Digestion

The gut-brain axis is one of the most significant discoveries in modern health research. Your gut produces the majority of your body’s serotonin, communicates directly with your nervous system, and plays a central role in regulating inflammation throughout the body. This means that imbalances in the gut can show up as poor sleep, low mood, anxiety, weakened immunity, and behavioural challenges — particularly in children, where gut health has been increasingly linked to focus, emotional regulation, and immune resilience.

Whether you are experiencing bloating, irregular bowel habits, fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, frequent illness, or sleep and mood disturbances that haven’t responded to other interventions, this test provides the detailed, actionable data needed to understand what your gut is — and isn’t — doing for you.

This is not a surface-level snapshot. It is one of the most thorough and informative gut health investigations available, designed to give you the clarity needed to build a truly targeted and effective path to recovery.

About the included Naturopathic Consult to discuss results:

Please note this test cost includes the test kit and a consult (up to 30 minutes) with the Naturopath to discuss your test results. Once you have purchased your test, a test kit will be mailed to you. Expect to receive this within 7 days of payment.

Please head to the appointment booking page and book in your consult with the Naturopath to discuss your test results. Please make the booking either upon receipt of your test results, or 10-14 days after you’ve sent your test in to the lab so that the Naturopath has received your results to discuss.

You will also have access to our Patient Portal which has a chat function that allows you to directly chat to the Naturopath if you need any further guidance around your results. Alternatively, you can email the Naturopath. Please note we request chat or email correspondence only as this allows it to be easily recorded in your case file. The Naturopath endeavours to reply to emails/chats within 24-48 hours during week days; they may occassionally respond to emails on weekends.
