In addition to in clinic appointments we also offer for online Telehealth and phone consultations (zoom and skype) consultations. Remedies are posted Australia wide on a daily basis.
Stool analysis is performed to help assess the health of the gastro-intestinal tract (stomach, small and large intestine) and how this impacts on overall health. These conditions can involve infection with parasites, viruses, or bacteria which cause impaired nutrient absorption and toxicity.
Microbiome testing measures the good and bad bacterial eco-system and their metabolites which have a huge effect on overall health.
The GUT is known as the second brain and gut health has far reaching effects on health and plays an important role in many symptoms including anxiety and depression, mood swings, sleep, skin, fatigue, brain fog to name just a few.

INTRODUCING THE GI-MAP
Optimal Health — It All Starts with the GI-MAP
Overwhelmingly, research indicates that gut health impacts overall health. The gut microbiome, in particular, plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet and other factors on health, including digestive, immune, metabolic and neuroendocrine functions. Assessing GI health with the proper tools can help practitioners get to the root cause of chronic illness.
The GI-MAP (GI-Microbial Assay Plus) is unique in the field of comprehensive stool testing. It relies exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more, by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested.
Who should have the GI-MAP Comprehensive Stool Analysis done?
GI-MAP provides information for personalised dietary and natural treatment protocols.
Almost everyone can benefit from a GI-MAP gut health assessment. Whether you are looking to achieve optimal health or have been chronically ill and frustrated without a diagnosis for years.
Conditions where GI-MAP testing can support clinical diagnosis and improve treatment outcomes include:
- Autoimmune diseases
- IBS/IBD
- Digestive complaints, diarrhoea or constipation
- Brain fog
- Inflammatory conditions
- Skin problems like acne and psoriasis
- Mood disorders, depression, and anxiety
