Did you know that over 30 hormones are produced in the gut? It is the body’s largest endocrine organ, making hormones that regulate appetite, satiety, insulin levels, as well as those connected with mood such as dopamine and serotonin. Perhaps surprisingly, the gut can also produce certain reproductive hormones, including testosterone and progesterone.

The gut-hormone connection is important throughout our lives and can be disrupted in either direction at any time.

I recently added gut health and DNA testing to my practice. The exceptionally personalised results that these tests give provide valuable insights into client health, as well as practical solutions. They form the basis for highly individualised and effective treatment plans. I have partnered with GutMapDx because they provide high quality, detailed lab results, very useful follow-up sessions, and the best actionable advice that I have seen from a testing service.
