👨‍⚕️ CONSULTATION WITH OUR NUTRITION SPECIALIST

If you choose an option with a consultation, you will be guided by our experienced nutrition specialist:

**"I am a nutrition specialist and someone who is naturally drawn to a healthy, simple and functional lifestyle. My interest in nutrition didn't arise only professionally, but above all from a personal need to better understand my own body, health and what makes sense in the long term.

Over time, this journey also became my work - connecting quality food, nutrition and practical solutions that can actually be lived. I believe in an approach based on understanding, balance and long-term sustainability, not quick shortcuts.

Today I find fulfilment in being able to share this experience and perspective on nutrition with others and help them find their own path to better wellbeing."**

🔬 What does the test include?

The test analyses 27 key parameters divided into several categories:

1. Gut bacteria (13 types):

Beneficial bacteria:

• Bifidobacterium - key for a healthy gut and immunity
• Lactobacillus - supports digestion and the immune system
• Bacteroides - helps digest complex carbohydrates

Potentially problematic bacteria:

• Escherichia coli - beneficial in normal amounts, harmful when it overgrows
• Klebsiella - can cause inflammation
• Proteus - problematic when present in excess
• Pseudomonas - can indicate dysbiosis
• Enterobacter - a potential pathogen
• Serratia - can cause infections
• Hafnia - problematic when it overgrows
• Enterococcus - beneficial when in balance
• Clostridium - some strains can be harmful

2. Yeasts and fungi (4 types):

• Candida albicans - the most common yeast, causes problems when it overgrows
• Candida spp - other Candida species
• Geotrichum candidum - can cause digestive difficulties
• Yeasts/fungi in general - overall assessment

3. Stool pH value:

• An indicator of the gut environment
• The optimal pH is mildly acidic (6.0-7.0)
• A high pH can indicate insufficient digestion
• A low pH can indicate fermentation

4. Digestive functions:

• Pancreatic elastase - an indicator of pancreatic function
• Bile acids - assessment of fat digestion
• Secretory IgA - the first line of immune defence in the gut

5. Inflammatory markers:

• Calprotectin - an indicator of gut inflammation
• Alpha-1 antitrypsin - a marker of protein loss and gut permeability

6. Digestive residues:

• Fat quantification - assessment of fat digestion
• Nitrogen quantification - assessment of protein digestion
• Sugar quantification - assessment of carbohydrate digestion
• Water quantification - assessment of water absorption

🩺 Symptoms of gut microflora imbalance:

Digestive problems: ❌ Chronic bloating and flatulence
❌ Diarrhoea or constipation
❌ Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
❌ Abdominal pain and cramps
❌ Heartburn and reflux
❌ Nausea

General health problems: ❌ Chronic fatigue
❌ Skin problems (acne, eczema, psoriasis)
❌ Frequent infections
❌ Allergies and intolerances
❌ Autoimmune diseases
❌ Weight problems

Psychological symptoms: ❌ Anxiety and depression
❌ Brain fog
❌ Concentration problems
❌ Mood disorders

Hormonal problems: ❌ Menstrual difficulties
❌ PMS
❌ Thyroid problems

🔬 Understanding the gut microbiome

What is the gut microbiome?

The gut microbiome is a complex community of trillions of microorganisms living in your gut. These bacteria, yeasts and other microorganisms play a key role in:

✅ Digestion and absorption of nutrients
✅ Production of vitamins (B12, K, biotin)
✅ Support of the immune system (70-80% of immunity is in the gut)
✅ Protection against pathogens
✅ Regulation of mood (the gut-brain axis)
✅ Hormone metabolism
✅ Detoxification

🍄 Understanding yeast overgrowth (Candida)

Candida albicans is a yeast that, in moderate amounts, helps with digestion and nutrient absorption. However, when it overgrows, it can cause serious health problems.

Causes of Candida overgrowth:

❌ Antibiotics - destroy beneficial bacteria
❌ A diet high in sugar - yeasts feed on sugar
❌ Chronic stress - weakens immunity
❌ Hormonal changes - contraception, pregnancy
❌ Alcohol - promotes yeast growth
❌ Medication - corticosteroids, chemotherapy
❌ Heavy metals - disrupt gut balance

Symptoms of Candida overgrowth:

⚠️ Chronic fatigue
⚠️ Sugar cravings
⚠️ Fungal infections
⚠️ Digestive problems
⚠️ Skin problems
⚠️ Brain fog
⚠️ Mood disorders

🩺 Who should take the gut microbiome test?

The test is suitable for:

✅ People with chronic digestive problems
✅ People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
✅ Those who suspect dysbiosis (gut microflora imbalance)
✅ People with Candida overgrowth
✅ People with food intolerances
✅ Those who have taken long-term antibiotics
✅ People with autoimmune diseases
✅ People with chronic fatigue
✅ Those with skin problems (acne, eczema)
✅ People with allergies
✅ People with weight problems
✅ Those who want to optimise their health

Note: This test is not suitable for children under 6 years of age.
