Gut Health Issues

restoring health
is possible

Are you feeling defeated in all your efforts to resolve your symptoms and discomfort? You’ve wondered if this health issue is a forever sentence. You’ve applied all the traditional approaches to address your symptoms with limited success. You’ve trawled the internet uncovering conflicting recommendations and diets that bring despair. I work with people just like you. Your body is a complex integrated system, working hard to maintain balance, vitality and health. Symptoms are the bodies way of communicating discord and imbalance. To ascertain what’s driving the discord we need to unravel elusive contributing factors to your health challenges and symptoms. Together, we will explore your historical health and current health, dietary intake and lifestyle. With the help of in-depth functional testing and discovery, we will begin to identify elements influencing your health, previously missing. This powerful combination leads to targeted decision making, bespoke recommendations and return to wellness.

Get REal Answers

Science Based Tests to Find the Problem

Your bloodwork may say “normal”, but you are still having problems. You feel like you’ve gone through all possible testing and you’ve come to the end of the line without answers. Tests that are traditionally performed may be just the start. There are many, many functional test options that may help uncover illusive components of your health issues. Functional testing can be the start to finding where the real answers begin.

Comprehensive Stool Analysis

Have gut issues? This test uses 3 types of detection and gives insight into the environment of the large intestine. It can assess beneficial bacteria, identify pathogenic bacteria, yeast, parasites, worms, carbohydrate malabsorption, pancreatic insufficiency, immune dysregulation, and more.

SIBO

A large percentage of IBS people may have unidentified SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. This test is a 3 hour breath test helping to identify bacterial overgrowth running through small intestines. Gases are produced by bacteria fermenting in the gut and then are expelled through breathing.

ORGANIC ACID TEST

From a urine collection, we can look at 76 markers which will give us a very thorough and comprehensive snapshot of blocks in metabolism.

Revolutionary Hormone Test

DUTCH

DUTCH is an acronym for Dry Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. By collecting urine samples using filter paper 4-5x throughout a day in addition to a saliva collection, we gain insight into your hormone profile unavailable via blood testing.

We can see your profile of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone plus adrenal hormones including DHEA/s, cortisol, cortisone and melatonin, 8 organic acid markers, and oxidative stress. By sample collecting throughout the day, we gain patterns and shifts. This test is more comprehensive than a blood or saliva test alone.

Client Stories

To have suffering IBS for 9 years with no answers and constantly being prescribed laxatives by the doctors or told it was normal, to finally having someone listen to my concerns, diagnose my condition and find the right treatment for me feels overwhelming. There is still a journey for me to go and I know my health will be a constant journey but Paula has brought me to answers I would have never come to without her dedication, work and kindness. She truly is a woman who cares.

Paula has treated both of my teenage boys. She has such a great and caring manner with them. One of my sons has made a complete recovery from SIBO and the other is currently on a programme to eliminate parasites. I have every faith in Paula and would wholly recommend her to anyone experiencing gastrointestinal issues.

I've been working with Paula for 12 months, Paula has turned my life around during this time and after many years trying to get my health back on track I feel I'm finally getting there. Thank you, Paula.
