You’ve probably heard that your gut is the “second brain.” But how do you actually know if it’s healthy?
More people than ever are experiencing bloating, fatigue, skin flare-ups, brain fog, and digestive issues — without clear answers. That’s where a gut microbiome test comes in.
Let’s break down what it is, how it works, and whether it could be the missing piece to understanding your health.
🧫 What Is the Gut Microbiome, Exactly?
Your gut microbiome is a complex community of trillions of microorganisms — mainly bacteria, but also viruses, fungi, and even parasites — that live in your digestive tract. These microbes play vital roles in:
Digestion and nutrient absorption
Immune system regulation
Mental health and brain function (via the gut-brain axis)
Inflammation control
Hormone balance and metabolism
📚 Research has linked microbiome imbalances (called dysbiosis) to IBS, obesity, anxiety, skin disorders, autoimmune conditions, and more ¹.
🔍 What Is a at Home Gut Microbiome Test?
A gut microbiome test is a non-invasive stool test that analyses the bacteria (and other microbes) in your gut to evaluate your current health.
At EverWell Labs, we offer two microbiome-focused options:
🧪 The Microbiome Test
This entry-level test analyses the balance of bacteria in your gut and gives you:
A 30+ page personalised health report
Insights into your digestion, immune health, and inflammation
A tailored diet guide to help restore balance
🔬 The Microbiome Plus Test
Everything in the Microbiome Test plus:
Screening for harmful parasites, viruses, and pathogenic bacteria
In-depth insights into how infections or imbalances might be causing symptoms like fatigue, bloating, or gut discomfort
Both tests are done at home and shipped free — no clinic visit needed.
💡 Should You Take One?
If you’re dealing with any of the following, the answer is likely yes:
Chronic bloating or gas
Irregular bowel movements (constipation or diarrhoea)
Skin issues (acne, eczema, psoriasis)
Low mood, anxiety, or brain fog
Fatigue or poor immunity
Sugar cravings or unexplained weight gain
History of antibiotic use or poor diet
Diagnosed or suspected IBS
You don’t need a doctor’s referral, and the results can offer far more clarity than guesswork or elimination diets.
🧠 Knowing the state of your microbiome allows you to create a personalised healing plan — instead of relying on generic advice.
