The gut is your second brain. Not only it is responsible for food absorption, but it also influence our immune response, our hormones production, our vitamin production, and our mood. Particularly, it is the microbiome that plays that mediator between our gut and our metabolism. Microbiome analysis will not only help to provide crucial information in case of digestive disorders, but it can also help to find the underlying cause of an autoimmune disease, or in case of depression, brain fog, poor sleep, or poor memory. In addition to that, we also perform comprehensive blood work, metabolites testing and hormones panel.
