Why test your gut?

Your gut does much more than digest food. It helps produce key brain chemicals, manage inflammation, and keep your immune system in check — all of which affect your mental wellbeing.

Improving gut health and mood doesn’t have to mean overhauling your life. Small, sustainable changes to what you eat, how you sleep, and how you manage stress can have a powerful impact.

If you’re struggling with low mood, fatigue, or digestive issues, start by checking in with your health from the inside out. Explore our range of nutrition blood tests to get personalised insights into your nutrient levels and health markers.

And if you’re finding it hard to cope, don’t go it alone — speak to your GP or visit Hub of Hope to find support near you.
