Take a minute to read about Micky’s journey with TESTme Health
What prompted you to take a test Micky?
Micky: I had been experiencing persistent bloating and couldn’t pinpoint the cause. I thought getting tested could help identify any specific triggers, allowing me to better understand and address the issue.
TESTme: How did you find the test and the overall experience and information?
Micky: The TESTme Handbook was really informative. and the test itself was straightforward. Iona did an excellent job of making me feel comfortable throughout the process. She explained everything clearly, taking the time to go over the results in detail. It was fascinating to learn how different foods were affecting me and how past illnesses might have contributed to my current gut health issues.
Were you surprised by the results, and did you feel you had enough information to make changes?
Micky: Yes, I was quite surprised by the results! It turned out that many of my favourite foods were contributing to my discomfort.
While I expected dairy to be an issue, I was caught off guard by red meat and eggs being culprits. Iona provided a wealth of resources to help me implement the necessary changes, which made me feel more prepared and supported.

(All results are emailed directly to the customer once analysed by the lab).
How are you feeling now? What improvements have you noticed, and how long did it take to see results?
Micky: I began noticing a reduction in bloating within the first week. Since then, I’ve lost a stone in weight and feel more energised overall. I see improvements week by week, and sometimes it’s only when I reflect on where I started that I truly appreciate how far I’ve come.
Would you recommend TESTme Health to your friends & family?
Micky: I already do!
I would like to thank Iona for her support throughout this journey. As someone who is a “traditional” Highland man when it comes to food and diet, I didn’t think these changes would be possible. But with her guidance, I have realised that improving my health and well-being is both manageable and worthwhile.
