Unlock the full story of your microbiome with Australia’s gold-standard stool test analysis- superior to all other Microbiome Mapping tests on the market.
If you’re struggling with persistent gut issues, mood shifts, skin flare-ups, fatigue or mysterious food reactivity, your gut microbiome could be a major missing piece. Remember that if we can’t digest and absorb nutrients well, what hope do we have at optimising our nutrient intake and eating nutrient rich foods/taking supplements?
At Wellbeing George Nutrition, we use the Microba “Microbiome Explorer – Comprehensive” test, one of the most advanced stool-based microbiome assessments available in Australia. It goes far beyond “what microbes are present” to explore what they are doing, and how your gut ecosystem is influencing digestion, immunity, metabolism, mood and overall wellness. Microba testing is superior to all other microbiome tests on the market currently as it uses a database of over 20,000 bacterial species, and uses Whole Microbiome Profile Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Microba also uses research from over 1,500 peer-reviewed journal articles, so you know that the recommendations in this test and the analysis is backed by the latest health research.
From identification of leaky gut markers, digestive enzymes, nutrient malabsorption and inflammation, to pathogenic and beneficial bacteria, this test provides a thorough assessment from a single stool sample, guiding personalised wellness strategies.
What the test covers
Microbiome Profile Using metagenomic sequencing, you’ll discover not just which bacteria, archaea and fungi live in your gut- but how actively they are influencing your health. Markers include butyrate-producing microbes, BCAA microbes, hydrogen sulphide producers, TMA producers, microbial diversity/richness, mucin-consumers and more.
GI Health Panel Dig deeper into gut environment and function via markers such as faecal occult blood, calprotectin, zonulin, sIgA, faecal pH and pancreatic elastase — all key to assessing gut barrier, inflammation, immune defence and digestive capacity.
Pathogen Screening Pinpoint presence of gut pathogens (bacteria, parasites, protozoa) with RT-PCR testing — enabling evidence-based interventions rather than guesswork.
Why you might choose this test
You’re a perfect candidate if you experience one or more of:
* Chronic bloating, gas, or persistent changes in bowel habits
* Ongoing constipation, diarrhoea or irregular stools
* Brain fog, fatigue or low mood despite "everything looking fine"
* Skin issues (eczema, rashes, psoriasis) with no obvious cause
* Food sensitivities or intolerances you can’t quite pinpoint
* Reflux, heart-burn, indigestion or mucus/blood in your stool
* Other health areas that keep showing up: poor immunity, hormone imbalance, metabolic issues
Having these symptoms means your gut could be influencing more than digestion — it’s affecting your brain, your immune system, your hormones and your energy.
Choose how your results are delivered
Option 1: Once the lab has completed the testing, the test results are emailed to you for reviewing at your leisure, without practitioner guidance.
Option 2: Test results are emailed to you, along with a comprehensive video analysis from a Qualified Clinical Nutritionist or Clinical Naturopath, where the results are analysed and explained. Furthermore, there are dietary, lifestyle and supplement recommendations based on your specific test results.
Option 3: Not only do you receive your test results, we also organise a 60-minute telehealth consultation with our Qualified Clinical Nutritionist or Clinical Naturopath. The session will include a run-through of your results, discuss key areas of focus for your future, discuss dietary and lifestyle recommendations and which supplements might be beneficial. This is a good option if you have any health concerns that you would like some guidance on, or if you are taking other supplements/medications and wish to review these with a practitioner in conjunction with your test results.
