What is dysbiosis?


For anyone struggling with an unexplained health issue 👉 this is commonly missed.


Dysbiosis is defined as an imbalance of the gut microbiome.


Whereas a healthy microbiome has a wide diversity of beneficial bacteria, dysbiosis can occur when any of these 3 things happen:


1️⃣ Loss of beneficial bacteria

2️⃣ Overgrowth of potentially harmful bacteria

3️⃣ Loss of overall bacterial diversity


These 3 things can also happen simultaneously. 




How do we know if this is an issue?


We test. 


Functional medicine tests like the organic acids test and digestive stool analysis can give us insights into the health of your microbiome and guide us in creating a plan.
