If this is you, then you are probably experiencing unwanted symptoms such as bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, fatigue, allergies, inflammatory skin conditions, weight gain, brain fog, mood swings, and more.

Dieting, clean eating, eliminating foods, probiotics and antacids without effect.

How would it change your life to be rid of bloating and digestive discomfort forever?

Or to finally drop those few extra kilos?
Your gut is a major gateway to the rest of the body but it plays more than just a supporting role in health and wellbeing – it is vital for keeping other body systems functioning optimally.
Aside from digesting food and assimilating essential nutrients, energy and water, the gut actively prevents potentially harmful substances (antigens and pathogens) from entering the rest of the body. It also connects with other organs, including the brain, via the vascular, neural, endocrine pathways.
The gut has major input into the control of your metabolism, inflammatory responses, neurotransmitters and immune system.
YOUR GUT IS THE CENTRE OF YOUR HEALTH.
Your ability to digest food and absorb nutrients determines your health, and your microbiome (the bacteria that live inside your gut) are especially important for preventing disease.
The importance of gut bacteria
Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms which comprise of different bacterial species and fungi such as yeasts; these microbes are also known as the gut microbiota or gut flora. Most of the bacteria in your gut are beneficial as they help support your immune system, protect the body against pathogens and assist with food digestion and vitamin production.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that stabilises mood and feelings of wellbeing. Even though serotonin is produced in the brain, 90% of the body’s serotonin supply is found in the gut. When your gut is not working optimally, it can lead to a host of issues including low mood and anxiety.
Symptoms of an unhealthy gut:
- Bloating
- Flatulence
- Constipation
- Diarrhoea
- Reflux, heartburn, GERD
- Food allergies and intolerances
- Low energy and fatigue

- Mood disorders, anxiety, depression

- Skin conditions including acne, eczema and rosacea
- Muscle pain and inflammation

Book a Gut Health Consultation
At the clinic, I use functional pathology testing to figure out what is going on in the gut.
Comprehensive Stool Testing evaluates beneficial bacteria levels, intestinal immune function, overall intestinal health, and inflammation markers. It detects the presence of pathogenic microorganisms such as yeast, parasites, and bacteria that contribute to chronic illness and neurological dysfunction.
