The hidden epidemic
Your gut is silently struggling.
Bloating after meals. Constant fatigue. Brain fog that will not lift. Frequent illness. These are not random complaints - they are symptoms of a gut microbiome out of balance. The trillions of bacteria in your digestive system influence everything from immunity to mood, yet most people have no idea what is happening inside them.
70%
Of your immune system resides in your gut
90%
Of serotonin is produced in the gut, affecting mood

Microorganisms live in your gut - more than your body's own cells
The science
Mapping your inner ecosystem.
Your gut contains over 100 trillion microorganisms - more than all the human cells in your body. Our analysis uses 16S rRNA sequencing to identify bacterial species, measure diversity and detect imbalances that affect your health, immunity and mental wellbeing.

What we measure
Your bacterial balance.
Firmicutes - 45%
Energy extraction. Break down complex carbohydrates and extract calories; imbalances are linked to weight management.
Bacteroidetes - 35%
Fibre processing. Break down plant fibres and produce beneficial short-chain fatty acids.
Actinobacteria - 10%
Gut integrity. Support the intestinal barrier and compete against harmful bacteria.
Proteobacteria - 5%
Immune modulation. Small populations are normal; overgrowth indicates inflammation or dysbiosis.
Others - 5%
Diverse functions. Verrucomicrobia, Fusobacteria and rarer species that add to overall diversity.
We analyse diversity indices (how many species), abundance ratios (proportions of key groups) and functional pathways (what your bacteria actually do) - giving a complete picture of your gut health.
Transformation
When your gut thrives, you thrive.
A balanced microbiome is the foundation of whole-body health, with benefits that cascade well beyond digestion.
Digestion
Identify imbalances causing bloating, gas, constipation or IBS, with targeted probiotic and prebiotic guidance.
85%Reduction in bloating
70%Improved regularity
Immunity
Your gut houses 70% of your immune system. Optimise the bacteria that train immune cells and reduce inflammation.
60%Fewer infections
45%Reduced inflammation
Mood & Energy
90% of serotonin is produced in the gut. Balance the bacteria that make neurotransmitters and lift brain fog.
75%Improved mental clarity
65%Better mood stability
Nutrition
Optimise the bacteria that help you absorb vitamins, minerals and beneficial compounds from food.
40%Better B12 absorption

Your journey
From sample to gut optimisation in four weeks.
Understanding your microbiome is simple and private. Here is what to expect, from kit to a customised gut-health plan.
- Day 1
Kit arrives
Your collection kit arrives with a sterile tube, clear instructions and a prepaid return envelope.
- Day 1
Sample collection
Collect a small sample using the provided swab - hygienic, quick and designed for easy at-home use.
- Day 2
Ship to lab
Seal your sample and post it; the stabiliser solution keeps the bacterial DNA intact in transit.
- Week 2-3
DNA sequencing
Your sample undergoes 16S rRNA sequencing to identify and quantify hundreds of bacterial species.
- Week 3-4
Analysis & insights
Our bioinformatics team analyses your composition, diversity and functional pathways against benchmarks.
- Week 4
Personalised plan
Receive your report with specific probiotic, prebiotic and dietary recommendations to optimise your microbiome.
Your report includes a species breakdown, diversity score, balance ratios, a probiotic guide, a dietary plan and a retest timeline. We recommend retesting after 3-6 months to see how your microbiome responds.
One connected system
Each technology strengthens the next.
Your microbiome results inform how the rest of the Optimal Health ecosystem works for you.
PEMF Therapy
Improves cellular charge, microcirculation and energy production to reduce inflammation and restore balance.
Cryotherapy
Cold exposure sharpens the vascular response, improving blood flow, reducing soreness and boosting resilience.
Hydrogen Water
Supports redox balance and antioxidant defence, helping neutralise free radicals and sustain energy.
Red Light Therapy
Photobiomodulation enhances mitochondrial function and ATP production for repair and cellular vitality.
