Gut Health & Microbiome
A three-month, physician-led plan of diet, targeted supplementation and retesting, built from your own microbiome results.
Your gut microbiome, the trillions of microorganisms living in your gastrointestinal tract, does much more than help with digestion. Most of the body's serotonin is made in the gut, a large share of the body's immune tissue lines the gut wall, and gut bacteria make some vitamins, metabolise some drugs and communicate with the brain through the vagus nerve. Research has linked differences in the microbiome with obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune conditions and other chronic diseases. Most of that research shows association, and whether changing the microbiome changes disease risk is still being worked out.
Many features of modern life can reduce microbial diversity: low-fibre, highly processed diets, antibiotics (a single course can disrupt the microbiome for weeks to months), chronic stress and disrupted sleep. Lower diversity has been reported in industrialised populations compared with traditional ones, and it is associated with several chronic diseases.
Our Gut Reset Protocol is a structured three-month intervention designed to assess, address, and rebuild gut health. Month one begins with comprehensive stool-based microbiome testing (16S rRNA sequencing and/or shotgun metagenomics) to map your current microbial landscape — identifying pathogenic overgrowth, beneficial species deficiency, short-chain fatty acid production capacity, intestinal permeability markers, and digestive enzyme sufficiency. Your physician reviews results and designs a targeted intervention plan.
Months one through three implement the protocol: antimicrobial or biofilm-disrupting agents where indicated (for pathogen overgrowth or SIBO), strategic prebiotic fibre introduction (to feed beneficial species), targeted probiotic strains (matched to your deficiency profile, not generic off-the-shelf probiotics), dietary restructuring (emphasising microbial diversity through plant variety, fermented foods, and elimination of identified triggers), and lifestyle modifications (sleep, stress, and movement patterns that support gut health).
Month three concludes with retesting to objectively measure changes in microbial composition and diversity. This is a physician-supervised programme with scheduled check-ins, not a DIY supplement stack. Book a consultation with our longevity physician to begin your gut health assessment.
Plausible biology and early human data. We tell you what is and is not known. How we grade evidence
What it shows
The gut microbiome is linked to metabolism, inflammation and several chronic diseases, and diet changes it.
What it does not show
Most links are associations. A stool report does not diagnose disease, and it cannot yet predict which change will work for you, which is why we retest.
Review: the microbiome is linked to obesity, inflammatory bowel disease and other conditions; most links are not yet shown to be causal.
Review of how gut bacteria relate to obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic risk.
Numbers in brackets point to the studies above. Medical review: a physician who did not write this page checks each line against the source it cites, and checks that nothing reads as a promised result. How we review
A good fit
Talk to us first
Persistent gut symptoms are checked conventionally first. These results help separate gut problems from other causes.
Your physician confirms at screening whether this is right for you. If anything above applies, tell us when you book.
Consultation
Symptoms, diet, medicines and recent antibiotics are reviewed.
Sample
A stool sample is collected at home using the kit and instructions provided.
Physician review
Your sequencing report is explained in plain language, with what it does and does not show.
Plan and retest
Diet and targeted support, then a retest to confirm the change: structured 3-month programme with 2 microbiome tests.
Every microbiome report is reviewed with you by a physician. Any intervention is staged and retested, and persistent or red-flag symptoms are investigated conventionally first.
Meet the clinical teamOur stool-based test sequences microbial DNA to identify and quantify the species present in your gut. The report covers: microbial diversity score, beneficial species abundance (Bifidobacterium, Akkermansia, Faecalibacterium, etc.), pathogenic or inflammatory species overgrowth, short-chain fatty acid production capacity, intestinal permeability markers, and digestive enzyme sufficiency. This is not a basic stool culture — it is a comprehensive genomic map of your gut ecosystem.
The microbiome responds quickly to diet: in a 2014 Nature study (David LA et al.), switching to an all-plant or all-animal diet changed gut bacteria within days. Short-term shifts like these are not the same as lasting change. Lasting change needs a sustained change in diet and habits, and three months gives time to make those changes and retest.
Not remotely. Pharmacy probiotics are generic formulations containing common strains at uncertain viability. Our protocol begins with testing to identify your specific deficiencies, then selects targeted probiotic strains matched to those gaps. We also address the ecosystem — removing pathogens, feeding beneficial species with specific prebiotic fibres, and restructuring diet. A probiotic without this context is like fertilising a garden without knowing what grows there.
