How is this test different from standard microbiome tests?

Most tests rely on 16S sequencing, which identifies only genus/species. We use shotgun metagenomics — strain-level resolution, 120,000+ microorganisms, and functional analysis, combined with chemical stool markers (sIgA, calprotectin, SCFAs, elastase, beta-glucuronidase).

Is sample collection painful or complicated?

No. The sample is stool-based and collected at home using the kit you receive.

When do I get the results?

Laboratory analysis takes 14–21 business days, followed by a consultation with a physician and a personalized protocol.

How long does the whole process take?

One day at the clinic for testing, 14–21 business days for laboratory processing and interpretation, followed by a consultation with a physician where you receive your personal Longevity Passport and action plan.

Do I need to prepare before the assessment?

Yes. You will receive detailed instructions — fasting for 10–12 hours, no alcohol for 48 hours, no intense exercise the day before the functional tests, and no supplements for 24 hours before sample collection.

Are the results confidential?

Yes. All data is stored in secure medical files, accessible only to you and your treating physician. We do not share results with third parties without your written consent.

In short

The Gut Health & Microbiome programme uses shotgun metagenomics — the most detailed molecular analysis of gut flora — plus stool chemistry. The price is €780. It includes a clinical exam, interpretation of the bacterial profile and a personalised plan for nutrition, probiotics and supplements.

We combine a physician consultation with the most thorough stool analysis available. It brings together microbial sequencing (shotgun metagenomics) with an extensive panel of chemical markers — so we simultaneously assess the composition and functions of the microbiome, digestion, absorption, immune response and inflammation from multiple sources. The result is a personalised strategy for your health and longevity, not general assumptions.

Benefits

You understand the real state of your microbiome — at strain level, not just genus level
You uncover hidden inflammation and its source — microbial or non-microbial
You see whether food is being broken down and absorbed (fats, carbohydrates, enzymes)
You directly measure gut inflammation and mucosal integrity
You assess estrogen metabolism via beta-glucuronidase (important for PMS, PCOS, perimenopause)
You receive a personalised protocol with diet, supplements and steps — not general advice
You track the recovery of the microbiome and barrier over time

Who it's for

Adults with chronic or newly emerging digestive complaints
People with food-related symptoms and multiple food intolerances
Suspected gut infection, parasites or systemic inflammation
Women with hormonally driven conditions — PMS, PCOS, perimenopause
Anyone who wants to optimise nutrition and restore microbial balance

What you get

Included in the program

Physician consultation

Thorough microbial analysis — taxonomy, functions and Community State Type

Functional and immunological markers (sIgA, calprotectin, SCFAs, elastase and more)

Linking results to conditions — SIBO, IBS, food intolerances, skin and metabolic issues

Personalised treatment protocol and follow-up

The approach

How we work

Clinical consultation

An in-depth conversation with a preventive-medicine physician — digestive history, lifestyle, nutrition, stress and personal goals.

Microbial analysis (shotgun metagenomics)

Screening of 120,000+ bacteria, viruses, fungi, archaea and parasites with strain-level identification and 0.005% accuracy. We also assess the functional capacity of the microbiome — its ability to break down fibre, complex carbohydrates and HMOs, produce SCFAs and support the gut lining.

Stool chemistry

Digestion and absorption (elastase, fat staining, carbohydrates), immune response (sIgA), short-chain fatty acids (butyrate, acetate, propionate, valerate), inflammatory markers (lactoferrin, lysozyme, calprotectin) and gut environment (pH, beta-glucuronidase, occult blood).

What we track

Beneficial microbes at strain level (Bifidobacterium — B. infantis, B. longum, Akkermansia, Faecalibacterium, Lactobacillus), opportunistic pathogens (Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus), parasites (Blastocystis), antibiotic-resistance signatures, methane producers (M. smithii), histamine-producing species, microbiome diversity and maturity, as well as links to conditions such as SIBO, IBS, constipation, food intolerances, eczema, asthma, sleep quality and estrogen metabolism.

Personalised plan

A targeted protocol: eliminating pathogens, restoring beneficial species, strengthening the gut lining, specific foods and supplements based on your results, with clear markers for re-testing.
