Gut and Microbiome Testing

Your body is full of trillions of bacteria, viruses and fungi. They are collectively known as the microbiome. While some bacteria are associated with disease, others are actually extremely important for your immune system, heart, brain, weight and many other aspects of health. When the balance of good and bad components is out of balance, this can lead to inflammation, localized gut symptoms along with several systemic symptoms.
