Rodney and I speak a lot about how important it is, to establish the profile of our gut microbiome ecosystem in order to know how to better target treatments, nutrition etc and to work more harmoniously with our microbes.
One of the ways that you can do this is via the Shotgun Metagenomics gut microbiome test that I use in clinic. This test can be done in the comfort of your own home and the good news is my consultations are run online which means it does not matter where you are located, I can work with you.
