Gut Health & Microbiome Diagnostics

Gut Health and Microbiome Diagnostics evaluates the complex bacterial, fungal, and metabolic ecosystem of your gastrointestinal tract. Through cutting-edge metagenomic DNA sequencing and digestive function markers, this assessment investigates the root causes of systemic inflammation, food intolerances, compromised skin barriers (the gut-skin axis), and autoimmune reactivity.

Patients suffering from chronic bloating, IBS symptoms, unpredictable bowel habits, inflammatory skin disorders (such as persistent acne, rosacea, or eczema), unyielding fatigue, or food sensitivities.

You receive a comprehensive, non-invasive home collection kit with clear laboratory instructions. The sample undergoes PCR and DNA sequencing to evaluate beneficial commensals, potential pathogens, zonulin (intestinal permeability / leaky gut), secretory IgA, and inflammatory calprotectin. Dr Farzana designs a tailored 4R (Remove, Replace, Reinoculate, Repair) recovery protocol.

Yes. All treatments begin with a private medical consultation so suitability and safety can be assessed individually.

Aesthetic and medical treatments may support your goals in suitable patients, with progress reviewed together. Responses vary, so identical outcomes cannot be promised.

Suitability is confirmed individually at a private consultation. Where a treatment is not appropriate, Dr Farzana will say so honestly and discuss alternatives where helpful.

The gut-skin axis is a well-established medical phenomenon. Dysbiosis or intestinal hyperpermeability ('leaky gut') allows bacterial endotoxins (LPS) to enter systemic circulation, triggering widespread skin inflammation, flare-ups of rosacea, and impaired wound healing.

The test provides comprehensive analysis of bacterial abundance, pathogenic overgrowths, candida/fungal markers, digestive enzyme output, inflammatory markers (calprotectin), and gut barrier integrity.

Dr Farzana implements a phased 4R protocol: Removing irritants or pathogens with targeted botanicals; Replacing digestive enzymes where deficient; Re-inoculating with tailored prebiotic fibres and strain-specific probiotics; and Repairing mucosal integrity with clinical-grade L-glutamine, zinc carnosine, and collagen peptides.
