Why I recommend comprehensive stool test at my clinic?

From my 12 years clinical experience dysbiosis, microbiome imbalances, overgrow of pathogenic bacteria, intestinal inflammation most often are the root cause of infertility, IBS, autoimmunity, weight gain, joint pain, allergies, ADHD, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and many other health problem. 

The gut bacteria living inside you perform various functions: 
-They give orders to your immune cells to fight infections and help you recover from illnesses.
-Your immune system relies on the health of your gut microbiome. 
-They also strengthen your gut barrier to prevent toxins from entering your blood and brain, which can lead to symptoms such as joint pain, foggy brain, and eczema. 
-Gut bacteria communicate with your brain via the gut-brain axis, helping to stabilise your mood and keep you motivated and happy. 
-They balance your blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity, which can help you lose weight and prevent serious health problems such as heart disease or metabolic syndrome. 
-They impact your appetite, satiety and hunger hormones, helping you gain control of cravings and emotional eating. 
-Gut bacteria regulate your hormones, including oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, preventing mood swings, heavy periods, migraines, hot flushes in pre-menopause or menopause.

From stool test, I can determine how effectively you are digesting and absorbing the food you eat, and whether there is inflammation in your gut, body, or brain. The test helps to assess the diversity and richness of the beneficial bacteria and identify pathogenic bacteria, parasites, or yeast overgrowth. This information is critical to prescribe specific antimicrobials, probiotics, prokinetics or anti-inflammatory supplements if needed, and to suggest the foods you have to include into your diet, or foods you have to stop eating temporarily to heal your guts.
