A gut test examines the health of your digestive system by analyzing the balance of bacteria and other microorganisms in your gut. It provides insights into how well your body is digesting and absorbing nutrients, as well as identifying any imbalances that could affect your overall health. The test can detect issues like gut dysbiosis, inflammation, or food intolerances, all of which can impact not just digestion, but also skin health, energy levels, and immune function. By understanding your gut health, you can make targeted changes to improve overall wellness.
Skin Gut Test
A gut health test analyzes your microbiome to uncover imbalances that may contribute to skin issues like acne, eczema, or rosacea. Research shows a strong connection between gut health and skin, often referred to as the “gut-skin axis.” When your gut bacteria are out of balance, it can lead to inflammation and toxins that manifest as breakouts.
By identifying these imbalances, a gut test helps create a personalized treatment plan that may include probiotics, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments to restore balance. Treating acne from the inside out promotes clearer, healthier skin over time.

Benefits of a Skin Gut Test
These benefits promote clearer, healthier skin by tackling issues at their source. For treating acne and other skin conditions include:
- Identifying root causes: Uncover gut imbalances, such as bacterial overgrowth or inflammation, that may be triggering skin issues like acne, eczema, or rosacea.
- Personalized treatment: Tailor skincare and dietary solutions based on your specific gut health, leading to more effective, long-term results for clearer skin.
- Reduced inflammation: Balance gut bacteria to reduce systemic inflammation, which can cause breakouts and skin irritation.
- Improved digestion: Enhance nutrient absorption, leading to healthier skin and improved hydration.
- Boosted immunity: Strengthen the immune system through a healthier gut, which can protect the skin from infections and irritation.
- Holistic approach: Address skin conditions from within, targeting the gut-skin axis for overall skin health.
How We Do It
The Skin Gut Test begins with a simple sample collection, usually a small stool sample, to analyze your gut microbiome. This sample is sent to a specialized lab, where it’s examined for bacterial balance, inflammation markers, and potential food intolerances. Once the results are ready, our specialist reviews them with you, providing a personalized plan that includes probiotics, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes tailored to your unique gut health needs. This approach helps to address skin issues by restoring internal balance for clearer, healthier skin.
