Our approach
The functional approach we take to assessing digestive function provides us with information on how your body is actually digesting food and absorbing nutrients.
We assess the level of inflammation in, and the integrity of, your gastrointestinal tract and, utilising recent advances in medical microbiology, we can accurately identify the balance of both good and bad bacteria, yeast/fungi and parasites in the gastrointestinal tract (the microbiota) and create a treatment approach accordingly.
If you’ve been looking for answers to acute or chronic gut health issues, book a consultation to begin the process of finding and treating the true cause behind your symptoms.
