Microbiome Testing
Have you ever thought about the trillions of microorganisms living in your gut, and the impact they can have on your health? Your body's individual ecosystem, consisting of a delicate balance of bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microbes, can influence far more than your digestion.
Microbiome testing is a revolutionary approach to health and wellness that allows us to unlock the secrets of the gut, understand the role your unique microbiome can have on your health and personalize your nutrition and treatment plan accordingly.
Through testing and analyzing your microbiome, your personalized nutritionist can identify any imbalances or dysfunctions in the complex ecosystem living in your gut and suggest dietary changes or supplements to restore the natural order. An overgrowth of a particular bacteria may disrupt your sleeping pattern, for example, which can be treated by introducing more probiotic foods into your diet.
The little ecosystem that can make a big difference to your health
Just as the health of an ecosystem is determined by the balance of the organisms that live within it, human health can be determined by the balance of microorganisms that inhabit our bodies. While an imbalance in the number of predator or prey animals in an ecosystem will suffer from a lack of biodiversity, an imbalanced microbiome can have direct consequences in our metabolisms, digestion, immune systems and even mental health.
Utilising my 20+ years of experience as a personalized nutritionist, scientific background and international lab partners, Ayusha can help uncover imbalances in your own microbiome that may be having a negative effect on your health and – more importantly – how to treat them.
As a personalized nutritionist, I will almost always recommend that my patients take a microbiome analysis. This allows me to tailor your nutrition plan to a far greater degree, helping you to achieve better vitality and take the first step towards a happier and healthier you.
