Biomesight Gut Microbiome Test

Approximately 2500 Years ago, the Greek Physician, Hippocrates taught that “All Disease Begins in the Gut”.

In clinical practice today, I see patients on a daily basis who are troubled with digestive complaints. While these can be distressing and uncomfortable, they can also contribute to issues which are happening throughout the body. Digestive issues can create a ‘leaky gut’ which leads to an increase in toxins circulating your body. This results in more work for the immune system and detoxification pathways and upregulates inflammatory pathways which can contribute to chronic disease states.

While a Naturopath will approach your case holistically (we will work on your presenting concerns) we also need to address the underlying cause of your health complain.

Digestive issues are multifaceted and it can be helpful to use diagnostic testing such as a Gut Microbiome test to identify exactly what is happening so the therapeutic approach can be targeted. This will mean relief faster and a more rapid movement toward optimal health.

The Biomesight Gut Microbiome Test may be relevant for you if you are experiencing:

• IBS, SIBO, Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis

By using this code, the results will be sent to us both. Once your results are in (around 8 weeks after you have sent the kit away for testing), please schedule an appointment with me so I can support you on your journey to improve the health and function of your digestive system.

It is important to remember to avoid taking probiotics or herbal medicine for three weeks before providing the stool sample. Please ensure you have completed taking any antibiotics at least four weeks before doing the test.

The Biomesight microbiome test provides a snapshot of the gut microbiome utilizing 16S rRNA sequencing technology. You will receive a count and relative abundance percentage of the bacteria in your microbiome.

We can use this information to correlate the state of your digestive microbiome to the state of your health. Results will provide us with an insight into:

  • Probiotic, pathobiont and commensal bacteria reports
  • Short Chain Fatty Acid Producers (Butyrate, Acetate, Propionate)
  • Toxin and Neurotransmitter Producers
  • Detoxification Enzymes
  • Vitamin Synthesis
  • Lactose & Oxalate Intolerance

Once we have these detailed results, we can identify evidence based solutions to rebuild and restore your microbiome. This will enable us to alleviate your signs and symptoms and encourage systemic healing. Treatment will include:

  • Personalized Food Recommendations
  • Prebiotic Supplements
  • Lifestyle adjustments

If you are not sure about this method of testing and would like to start working with me regardless, please schedule an Initial Appointment and we can discuss all of your options as we work toward restoring your optimal health.
