Beyond the report
Microbiome data is most useful when it sits inside the whole health picture.
Digestive symptoms rarely exist in isolation. Medications, diet, metabolic health, immune function, sleep, stress and established medical conditions can all matter. Integrated Medical Healthcare combines advanced testing with the judgement of an experienced GP.
Advanced testing
Microba metagenomic testing can offer detailed information about microbial composition and functional potential.
Personal to you
Recommendations are prioritised around your goals, medical history, tolerances and what is realistically achievable.
Your pathway
From uncertainty to a clear next step.
A straightforward, medically responsible process — with testing used selectively rather than automatically.
Medical assessment
We begin with your symptoms, medical history, goals and whether microbiome testing is likely to add useful information.
Microba testing
If appropriate, a home collection kit is arranged and your sample is analysed using metagenomic sequencing.
Doctor-led review
Your report is interpreted alongside your wider medical context — never treated as a stand-alone score.
Personalised plan
You receive a practical plan and clear advice on follow-up, conventional investigation or referral when needed.
Your doctor
Medicine first.

Privacy by design
Your health information deserves more than an ordinary contact form.
Initial enquiries should contain only basic contact details. Sensitive clinical information will be collected through an appropriate secure pathway. Payment systems will not be used to store clinical notes.
Common questions
Before you begin.
Is testing suitable for everyone?+
No. Testing should answer a useful clinical question. Your initial assessment helps decide whether it is likely to be worthwhile.
Does a microbiome test diagnose disease?+
No. Results may provide useful insights, but they do not replace appropriate medical assessment, pathology, imaging or specialist care.
Can you review a Microba result I already have?+
Yes. Existing reports can be reviewed in their wider medical context, subject to an appropriate consultation.
Is this an emergency service?+
No. For urgent or severe symptoms, contact your usual doctor, an urgent-care service or emergency services.
