Gut Health Testing

Uncover the root cause of your gut issues
with our advanced testing

Finding Clarity Amid the Confusion

Living with gut issues can be overwhelming — especially when every piece of advice seems to contradict the last.

I’m Jennie Janes, and I specialise in bringing clarity and direction to those struggling with digestive and autoimmune conditions that haven’t responded to conventional care. With both professional expertise and lived experience, I understand how frustrating it feels to be searching for real answers.

Through comprehensive functional testing and personalised analysis, I uncover the root triggers of inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and microbiome imbalances contributing to your symptoms.

Armed with these insights, I design a targeted Gut Health Restoration Plan that supports deeper healing, higher energy, and long‑term resilience — helping you move from uncertainty to confidence in your body again.

Advanced Functional Testing

Precision Insights for Personalised Healing

Comprehensive, evidence‑based testing is an essential part of my Gut Health Restoration Program. Rather than guessing or relying on trial and error, I use advanced diagnostics to uncover the root causes of digestive, immune, and metabolic imbalances — allowing for truly personalised treatment.

Below are some of the key assessments I use to guide each client’s journey. These tests are not standalone services; they form part of your tailored program and are interpreted alongside clinical expertise for meaningful, actionable insights.

MetaXplore

Microba – Microbiome Explorer

An in‑depth stool analysis providing a detailed overview of your gut microbiome’s composition and function. This test helps identify bacterial imbalances, inflammation, and digestive markers linked to conditions such as IBS, IBD, hormonal and metabolic dysfunction, and immune imbalance.

Included within personalised program or available as an add‑on (test + report).

Food Compatibility

FoodFit – Food & Product Compatibility Analysis

A non‑invasive hair test examining over 600 foods and household items to identify potential sensitivities and inflammatory triggers unique to you. These insights can help refine your nutrition plan and reduce systemic inflammation.

What You’ll Gain Through Advanced Functional Testing

Comprehensive Gut Health Assessment

Through advanced diagnostics, you’ll uncover how your digestive system is truly functioning — including markers for inflammation, microbiome balance, motility, detoxification, and intestinal integrity. This level of insight allows us to identify the hidden factors driving chronic symptoms.

Trusted Scientific Analysis

I use only the most reliable and research‑backed testing platforms — including FoodFit, Microba, and HTMA — trusted globally for their precision and depth. These assessments provide objective data that reveal how food, environment, and biochemistry interact within your body.

Expert Interpretation

Data is only as powerful as the understanding behind it. As your naturopath, I translate complex findings into clear, actionable guidance — connecting each result to a personalised plan for your healing journey.

Targeted Treatment & Lasting Results

Your tailored protocol integrates nutrition, natural therapies, and lifestyle strategies to address the root causes of imbalance — not just manage symptoms. This is where transformation happens: clear direction, precise interventions, and genuine, sustained progress.

How it works

Initial Consultation

Before your first session, you’ll complete a detailed health and lifestyle questionnaire, allowing me to understand your history, current challenges, and goals. During your consultation, we’ll explore your symptoms and begin identifying the underlying factors contributing to your gut issues. If suitable, I’ll recommend targeted functional testing to gain deeper insight into your health..

Personalised Treatment Plan

Following your consultation, I’ll design a tailored Gut Health Restoration Plan, outlining nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations specific to your needs. You’ll also have the option to access a guided meal plan to support your early stages of healing.

  • “Since getting the hair test done I feel amazing. I no longer feel sick after my meals and I didn’t have any cramps or pains in my last period. My skin is getting much better, my eczema did get worse before getting better (which we spoke about) but now it’s pretty much cleared up completely on my hands. I have also lost some weight my hair is also growing and my skin is glowing I love it and it’s the main reason I’m so motivated. Just knowing what I can and can’t eat is amazing and it has been a game changer. I have been raving about it to my family and friends that have had struggles of their own and have told them all about you.”

  • “Jennie helped me through a time where I was struggling with a diagnosis of coeliac disease after feeling sick for what feels like my 28 years of life. She was so helpful in aiding me in understanding what was happening to my body, what it would take to begin the journey in healing my gut and what the journey would look like here on out. Its been over 6 months now and I am feeling much better than I was, I have more energy, my skin is so much better, and I have even put on a healthy amount of weight after always being underweight! She is always kind and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Jennie.”

  • “Jennie at The Gut Naturopath (previously Forage Health), has helped me with a range of complaints. Through the use of herbal medicine, supplements and minor adjustments to my diet, Jennie has me back on track to feeling ‘well’ again. Her assessment and advice has been spot on, and her service has been second to none. I have noticed increased energy levels, reduction in bloating, significant improvement in my menstrual cycle (including a major reduction in cramps and pain), and have started to lose weight that I haven’t been able to shift for the last 3 years. Prior to seeing Jennie I had seen multiple doctors and had multiple ultrasounds and CT scans to try and figure out what was going on, all with no avail. Two months in to my journey and Jennie had me feeling better than I had in years. If you feel like you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked, like I have, give Jennie a call and start your journey to wellness!”
