GUT HEALTH & SENSITIVITY TESTING
Understanding the body from the inside out.
​
At The Light Sanctum, our philosophy of skin and wellness goes far beyond what we see on the surface. True health is deeply connected to the gut, immune system, and internal balance, which is why we offer advanced testing to help uncover the root causes behind inflammation, digestive discomfort, skin conditions, fatigue, and sensitivities.
​
Through a range of laboratory-based assessments, we can gain valuable insight into your gut microbiome, food sensitivities, allergies, and nutritional status, allowing us to guide you toward personalised lifestyle and nutritional support as part of our 360° approach to wellness.
​
All tests can be carried out in the comfort of your own home.
Why Gut Health Matters
The gut is often referred to as the body’s second brain, playing a vital role in digestion, immunity, hormone regulation, and even skin health.
​
An imbalance in the gut microbiome can contribute to concerns such as:
-
Acne, rosacea, eczema, and inflammatory skin conditions
-
Bloating, digestive discomfort, and food intolerances
-
Fatigue and brain fog
-
Hormonal imbalance
-
Increased inflammation within the body
By understanding what is happening internally, we can begin to support the body in a more targeted and preventative way.
Comprehensive Testing Options
At The Light Sanctum, we offer several testing methods to gain a deeper understanding of your health and sensitivities. A wellness consultation will help us understand which test would be most suited to you.
Gut Microbiome Testing
(Stool Analysis)
A stool test allows us to analyse the balance and diversity of bacteria within the gut microbiome. This provides insight into digestion, microbial balance, inflammation markers, and how well your body is absorbing nutrients.
​
Understanding your gut environment can help guide personalised recommendations for nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle adjustments.
IgG Food and Drink Intolernace Testing (Finger Prick Test)
IgG testing helps identify delayed food sensitivities, foods that may not cause immediate allergic reactions but can contribute to chronic inflammation, digestive symptoms, headaches, fatigue, and skin flare-ups.
​
This test allows us to identify potential trigger foods and create a personalised nutritional approach that supports healing and balance.
IgE Food Allergy Testing
(Finger Prick Test)
IgE testing identifies true allergic responses to certain foods or environmental triggers. These reactions are typically immediate and involve the immune system.
​
Understanding these sensitivities can help guide safe dietary choices and lifestyle adjustments to support overall wellbeing.
Bioresonance
(Hair Strand Test)
Hair testing can provide insight into mineral balance, heavy metals, nutritional deficiencies, hormones, stress and inflammation, offering a broader picture of the body’s internal environment over time.
​
This information helps us understand how lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental exposure may be impacting your health.
​
This is a good place to start if you are curious about your internal health, to empower you to take the next steps towards feeling better and living a healthier life.
Supporting a 360° Wellness Approach
Testing is not about diagnosing disease within the clinic, it’s about gaining insight and empowering you with knowledge.
​
At The Light Sanctum, results are used to support a personalised plan that may include:
-
Nutritional guidance
-
Lifestyle and stress support
-
Targeted supplementation
-
Gut health optimisation
-
Skin and wellness treatments aligned with your internal health
When we understand what is happening inside the body, we can support lasting improvements in skin, energy, digestion, and overall vitality.
​
It may be necessary to seek appropriate, further medical advice, depending on the outcomes of the tests.
Prevention, Education & Long-Term Health
Our goal is simple: to help you live better for longer.
​
By identifying imbalances early and supporting the body with informed lifestyle choices, we can help shift the focus from reactive healthcare to proactive wellbeing.
​
Because at The Light Sanctum, wellness is not just about how you look, it’s about how you function, feel, and thrive every day.
