Gut Microbiome Testing

Understand your internal ecosystem to create a plan that targets the root cause of your health issues.

Root Cause Insights from Your Gut Microbiome

Your microbiome is the foundation of your health. It decides how well you digest, detox, think, sleep and feel. It is the control centre for your mood, energy, hormones, immunity and overall wellbeing.

Microbiome testing removes the guesswork and reveals the root cause of your health issues. With this clear data, we can create a plan that actually works for you.

We can spot early imbalances, track dysbiosis patterns and see how your microbiome is affecting key areas like detoxification, immunity, mood and inflammation.

At Renew Health Co. microbiome testing is a powerful tool in our root-cause approach. It does not replace other modalities. It enriches them by giving us precise insight into why things may be going off balance, so we can tailor your plan more intelligently.

The Role Of Your Microbiome

  • Your gut microbiome contains roughly 2kg of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and more - as unique to you as your fingerprint.
  • These microbes help digest food, produce essential nutrients, reinforce your gut barrier, regulate immune signalling, help clear toxins, and even influence mood via the gut-brain axis.
  • When microbial balance is disrupted (dysbiosis), you may see effects in digestion, inflammation, immune dysfunction, hormonal balance, skin health, and metabolic regulation.
  • Because diet, stress, antibiotics, sleep, and lifestyle all influence the microbiome, this system acts as a mirror reflecting your internal environment over time.

Leaders In Microbiome Testing

We work with a leading specialised microbiome lab to bring precise data into your healing process.

This test gives us a broad and deep profile of your gut and goes beyond identifying which microbes are present. It shows how your gut is functioning, where it’s stressed or inflamed, and highlights potential weak spots.

The test includes:

  • Analysis of beneficial vs pathogenic bacteria, yeast, and fungal species
  • Parasite screening and opportunistic microbe checks 
  • Digestive & metabolic marker testing (e.g. pH, remnants of food, inflammation, microscopic evidence) 
  • Macroscopy (appearance, mucus content, stool form, occult blood) 

Why We Use Microbiome Testing in Consultations

Because microbiome testing is integrated into our consultations - not a separate appointment - it helps inform everything else we recommend:

  • Greater specificity: Rather than guessing which gut-support protocols to apply, we can select targeted interventions (specific probiotic strains, prebiotic types, antimicrobial herbs, fermentable fibre strategies) based on your unique profile.
  • Contextual insights: When combined with live & dry bloods, iridology, and symptom history, the microbiome adds a microbial layer of intelligence. We can see where dysbiosis is reinforcing stress in the body’s terrain.
  • Timeline alignment: Microbiome changes often develop slowly. When aligned with your health history, testing can help us see when things began to shift, enabling us to tailor healing phases more intelligently.
  • Monitoring progress: By comparing before-and-after results, we can gauge how your interventions shift your microbial balance - and fine-tune your protocol.
  • Precision over guesswork: Instead of broad-spectrum supports, we aim to correct imbalances with precision - lowering side effects, maximising benefits, and aligning with your biology.

What To Expect During the Process

Kit Delivery & Instructions

We will provide you with an at-home test kit along with detailed instructions which fully details all necessary dietary or medication restrictions before collection.

Sample Collection

You collect a stool sample at home, following the kit protocol and then easily seal and mail via pre-paid packaging.

Lab Analysis

The laboratory uses PCR (for GI-Map) and/or other molecular techniques plus traditional markers to profile your microbiome.

Consultation & Interpretation

Once your report is ready, we will review it with you - not just reading numbers, but explaining the story behind them. Together, we’ll map how your microbial profile matches your symptoms, history, and goals.

Application to Your Plan

Your protocol will incorporate microbiome insights directly - adjusting diet, sourcing specific probiotics, targeted herbs, gut repair, and broader systemic supports. The test becomes a piece of the healing puzzle, not an endpoint.

What Insights You'll Receive

From your microbiome test, we help you interpret key results, including:

  • Which beneficial bacteria may be lacking
  • Opportunistic or pathogenic bacteria that need attention
  • Digestive efficiency, including undigested food remnants
  • Microbial overgrowth or imbalances, such as yeast or candida
  • Presence of parasites
  • Markers of gut inflammation or permeability, including red or white blood cells and mucus
  • Potential autoimmune triggers
  • Evidence-based recommendations for diet, probiotics, targeted supplements, gut-repair herbs, and lifestyle adjustments

This gives you a clear understanding of your gut health and actionable steps to support your overall wellbeing.

Ready to Unlock Your Gut Microbiome's Secrets?


Microbiome testing at Renew Health Co. is not offered as a stand-alone service. If, during your assessment, we identify areas that require deeper analysis, we may recommend this testing as an additional service and cost.

We guide you through the process from start to finish, and once your results are ready, you can book a follow-up session to review them together, just as you would with any other test results, and incorporate the findings into your personalised healing plan.
