The microbiome consists of trillions of microorganisms that influence:

• Digestion and nutrient absorption

• Gut barrier integrity

• Immune balance and inflammation

• Metabolic regulation and weight control

• Skin conditions and systemic inflammation

An imbalanced microbiome (dysbiosis) may be associated with symptoms such as:

• Bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort

• Irregular bowel habits

• Food sensitivities

• Chronic fatigue

• Difficulty losing weight

• Skin problems (acne, rosacea, eczema)

Microbiome analysis provides insight into:

• Bacterial diversity and balance

• Beneficial vs. potentially problematic bacteria

• Fermentation and putrefaction patterns

• Inflammatory markers and gut barrier function

Results are interpreted in the context of symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history. The goal is not to normalize numbers alone, but to understand functional implications for the individual patient.

Food intolerance testing evaluates immune-mediated reactions to foods, which differ fundamentally from classic allergies.

Important distinctions:

• Food allergies are immediate, IgE-mediated reactions

• Food intolerances are often delayed and dose-dependent

Food intolerance testing may be helpful in patients with:

• Chronic digestive complaints

• Skin or inflammatory symptoms

• Fatigue or brain fog

• Unexplained weight changes

Test results are never interpreted in isolation. They are used as a clinical tool, not as a strict list of forbidden foods.

A key aspect of this service is structured medical interpretation.

This includes:

• Correlation of test findings with symptoms

• Differentiation between clinically relevant and incidental results

• Identification of dietary patterns that may worsen inflammation

• Avoidance of unnecessary long-term food restriction

Based on findings, an individualized plan may include:

• Temporary elimination or rotation strategies

• Gut-supportive nutrition

• Targeted supplementation

• Gradual reintroduction phases

The goal is restoration of tolerance and gut resilience, not permanent avoidance.

Microbiome health is closely linked to:

• Weight management and metabolic health

• Hormonal balance

• Skin quality and inflammation

• Immune regulation

Therefore, microbiome assessment may be integrated with:

• Preventive medical check-ups

• Hormonal evaluation

• Weight management programs

• Skin and regenerative treatments

This allows a systems-based approach rather than isolated symptom management.

This service is suitable for patients who:

• Have persistent digestive symptoms

• Experience food-related discomfort without clear diagnosis

• Struggle with weight regulation despite lifestyle efforts

• Have inflammatory skin or systemic symptoms

• Want evidence-based nutritional guidance rather than restrictive diets

Testing process
Microbiome and food intolerance testing is performed using validated laboratory methods.

Interpretation
Results are reviewed and explained in detail during consultation.

Treatment timeline
Gut restoration is a process. Improvements often develop gradually over weeks.

Expectations
The aim is improved tolerance, digestion, and overall well-being — not perfection or extreme dietary control.

Microbiome analysis and food intolerance assessment are priced according to the selected diagnostic panels and consultation scope.

A personalized recommendation and cost overview are provided during consultation.
