Gut health
The gut functions as the body’s central regulatory system, governing inflammation, immunity, metabolism, brain signaling, and long-term health trajectory.
Gut Health as a System
We don’t rely on basic stool tests or generic elimination diets. At Sydenham, the gut is evaluated as a biological system. We draw from 15–20 advanced diagnostic options, selecting only those clinically relevant to your symptoms, risk profile, biomarker patterns, and genomic data, ensuring targeted, actionable insight rather than broad assumptions.
Undiagnosed Dysbiosis
Gut–Brain Axis
Chronic Inflammation Begins in Gut
The gut decides what becomes fuel
what becomes signal, and what becomes threat. Health follows that decision
Gut Health & System Tracking
Gut health at Sydenham is assessed using targeted diagnostics that provide objective insight into digestion, inflammation, microbial balance, and systemic signaling over time
Microbiome Balance
Bacterial diversity, dominance patterns, and functional output
Inflammation Markers
Gut-driven inflammatory activity and immune activation
Intestinal Barrier Integrity
Markers of permeability and gut lining resilience
Digestive Function
Enzyme activity, absorption efficiency, and transit patterns
Metabolic Signaling
Gut-derived metabolites influencing insulin, weight, and energy
Gut–Brain Axis
Neurotransmitter precursors and signaling pathways
Longitudinal Trends
Baseline shifts, progression, and early disease signals
Gut Health and Longevity
Gut health shapes the pace of aging by regulating inflammation, immune resilience, metabolic efficiency, and brain signaling. A balanced microbiome supports nutrient absorption and barrier integrity, while chronic dysbiosis accelerates systemic inflammation, disease progression, and biological aging long before symptoms become overt.
Gut Health Across Systems
Genomics
Gut signalling influences epigenetic expression.
Psychology
The gut–brain axis shapes mood
Physiology
Gut health impacts energy and recovery.
Nutrition
Digestion determines nutrient absorption.
Hormones
The gut regulates hormone metabolism.
Sleep
Microbiome balance affects sleep quality.
