The Optimal Health Ecosystem
Your gut microbiome is the foundation of metabolic and immune balance. Testing identifies bacterial diversity, inflammation markers, and digestive efficiency, revealing how your internal ecosystem supports overall health.
Blood Test
Your gut affects nutrient absorption and inflammation, both reflected in your blood data. When paired together, these insights guide personalised nutrition and targeted recovery protocols.
PEMF Therapy
Pulsed electromagnetic fields improve circulation and tissue oxygenation, aiding digestive health and cellular regeneration. It supports the body’s ability to repair and rebalance microbiome-related imbalances.
Hyperbaric Oxygen
Oxygen therapy enhances blood oxygen levels and tissue healing, supporting the intestinal barrier and reducing inflammation driven by microbiome imbalance. It strengthens the link between gut health and recovery.
