Oral Microbiome Check
What's included
Saliva helps keep the mouth's pH close to neutral, which protects teeth. When bacteria break down sugar, they produce acid, lowering the pH and causing tooth enamel to weaken. This makes it easier for bacteria to reach the dentine and cause further damage. Salivary pH can be influenced by diet, oral hygiene, and overall health.
Systemic diseases can arise when pathogenic bacteria present in the oral cavity translocate into the gut in the presence of oral-gut barrier disruption. Fortunately, through re-establishing symbiosis in the oral microbiome through dietary and lifestyle changes, many unfavourable symptoms can be reversed.
This test looks for evidence of candida overgrowth. Whilst fungi and yeasts are a normal inhabitant of the oral cavity, they may become an opportunistic pathogen.

Nutrition Assessment
After receiving the results of your health check (particularly the Microbiome, Nutriton, Essential Fatty Acids, FODMAP or SIBO Check), you may want to consider a nutritional assessment of your results by a Clinical Nutritionist.
Microbiome Check
The stool test is a comprehensive collection of microbial targets as well as immune, inflammation and digestive markers. It screens for pathogenic bacteria, commensal bacteria, opportunistic pathogens, fungi, viruses, and parasites.
Parasite PCR Check
Some gut problems can be a consequence of an undetected gut infection. A significant number of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) cases could actually be due to undiagnosed gut pathogens.
