Discover The Fascinating Secrets of Your Gut Health and Gut Microbiome

At TESTme Health, we understand that your gut is at the heart of your overall well-being. As science continues to advance, so does the field of gut microbiome testing, and Europe is leading the charge, with Austria and Denmark at the forefront. That’s why we’ve partnered with a premier lab in Denmark to bring you the most comprehensive and advanced gut microbiome testing available today.

With TESTme’s comprehensive gut microbiome test, you’ll gain the insights needed to understand your health like never before.

Get to the bottom of your symptoms and support your health at the most personal level.

Why Testing Matters

Your gut microbiome is a bustling ecosystem of microorganisms including good and bad bacteria, fungi, and viruses, all living in your digestive tract. These microorganisms play a vital role in digestion, immunity, and overall health. Understanding the balance of these organisms can help unlock the reasons behind your symptoms and provide the insights needed to restore balance.

Our gut microbiome test offers a complete picture of your gut health by analysing a wide range of bacterial species essential to your well-being. Let us get to know you from the inside out and pinpoint exactly what’s behind your symptoms with the most comprehensive testing available.

Testing to suit you

TESTme Health offers two convenient testing options:

At-home testing kits, and in-clinic testing with Iona. 

In-Clinic (Inverness, Scotland)

Testing in the clinic, specifically with Iona, provides a hands-on approach where Iona assists you in identifying specific food triggers and advises on dietary adjustments. This in-person service offers immediate results and personalised advice.

At Home

In contrast, the at-home testing kits allow you to perform tests comfortably and privately at home. With all necessary components delivered to your door, this ensures a streamlined process, from sample collection to receiving and understanding results. 

Make the connection

If you’re looking to prevent or manage your symptoms, we can help make your lifestyle changes count!

Weight Loss Connection

In the pursuit of weight loss, we often focus mostly on calorie counting, and the latest dietary trends. However, recent research shows a compelling link between our dietary choices, food intolerances, and the intricate world of our gut microbiome. 

Stress/Anxiety Connection

People are often surprised to learn that food intolerances and allergies can play a big role and have a direct impact on conditions such as stress, anxiety and eating disorders.

Autoimmune Connection

Undetected auto immune conditions can cause various symptoms that may not surface for years, resulting in delayed diagnosis. Identifying food triggers is crucial for managing and slowing down these conditions.

The Kids Connection

Allergies can greatly affect your child’s well-being, causing distressing symptoms which disrupt sleep, behaviour, school performance, and activities.

How it Works

For over a decade, TESTme has been a trusted provider of testing services throughout Scotland.

Our Customers say it best…

“Iona was very helpful, if wasn’t for her we would still be taking our kids to the doctor, and, now after our visit to Testme and the recommendations from Iona with what to eat and what not, our kids health has improved beyond belief. Thank you so much Iona.”
“I just wanted to make contact to let you know that following my test 10 days ago, i am simply a new person. Who knew that food and gut heath (or lack of it!) could play such a devastating part in my chronic skin conditions and overwhelming fatigue”
“One really knows the meanings of the word “patience”! So many people I know are now coming or have come to see you that we have a wee bit of a totally informal “TESTME support group” going on here – which is really good”
