About the package

Precision nutrition starts with knowing your gut.

Generic advice wasn’t designed for your body. Even if you eat well and exercise, your energy, digestion, or wellbeing still might not feel right. The truth is that nutrition advice based only on age and gender misses what makes you unique: the trillions of microbes in your gut that influence how your body processes food, produces energy, and supports your immune system.

Looking for more personalised answers?

A gut microbiome test can help you understand what may be influencing your gut health and give you clearer guidance on what to do next.

Spending on supplements that may not work for you?

Not all probiotics and prebiotics benefit every person. Without knowing your specific microbial composition, supplementation is guesswork.

Tried a generic gut test with a report you couldn’t interpret?

Many microbiome tests deliver complex data with no expert to help translate results into practical, everyday changes.

Concerned about digestion, metabolism, or energy levels?

Research increasingly links gut microbial imbalances, known as dysbiosis, to digestive issues, metabolic issues, and even changes in mood.

Want to take a proactive approach to long-term health?

Understanding your gut microbiome today helps guide dietary choices that may reduce the risk of certain health conditions over time.

Your gut microbiome test, explained

Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Together, they form a unique ecosystem, your gut microbiome, that helps break down food your body cannot digest alone. These microorganisms also produce essential vitamins and serotonin (often called the happy hormone) and interact closely with your immune system and gut lining.

Fibre fermentation and metabolite production that support colon health and nutrient absorption.

Your gut microbes train and modulate immune responses, a core part of your body’s defence.

Microbial metabolism interacts with energy balance and cardiometabolic pathways in your body.

Microbial metabolites and immune signals interact with stress and mood-related biology.

Microbes interact with your intestinal lining to help maintain gut integrity and function.

Research links microbial imbalances to conditions such as IBS, obesity, diabetes, and more.

Even genetically identical individuals can have very different gut microbiomes, shaped by diet, geography, medication use, and environmental exposure. This is why one-size-fits-all dietary advice falls short. Our approach uses advanced metagenomic data to tailor nutrition specifically to your host-microbiome interplay, going beyond conventional personalisation based on age, gender, and lifestyle alone.

The gold standard in microbiome testing. Unlike 16S barcode testing that offers a limited snapshot, our metagenomics approach scans all DNA in your sample, identifying species with greater depth, breadth, and functional insight.

Over 300 specific foods are analysed against your unique microbiome results. Each food is scored 0–10 based on how it impacts your current microbial balance, so you know exactly what to eat more of and what to reduce.

Your dietitian will use their specialist training in gut microbiome science to translate complex results into a practical, personalised nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle, preferences, and health goals.

Your report translates complex metagenomic data into actionable health insights across 15 parameters, with an evidence rating next to each finding so you understand the science behind every result.

A detailed profile of your gut microbiome across key dimensions of health and wellbeing, each with targeted guidance on where to focus improvement.

Different bacteria require different nutrients. Our system analyses 300+ specific foods against your results, scoring each one based on how it impacts your microbial balance.

Score 0–3: Eat less of these foods
Score 4–7: Balanced and varied diet
Score 8–10: Enrich your diet with these

See how specific bacteria in your gut relate to researched health conditions. Each association includes an evidence rating that reflects the scientific strength of the bacteria-disease relationship, helping you take informed, proactive steps.

Gut microbiome science is rapidly evolving. We include a level of evidence score within the report so you can understand what is well-established and what is emerging, supporting informed decisions about your nutrition and lifestyle.

Mediclinic Middle East is committed to providing a gut microbiome test that is science-led, evidence-rated, and clinically supported.

Findings in the report include an evidence rating reflecting the strength of the scientific literature behind it, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Your guidance comes from registered clinical dietitians with additional training in gut microbiome science, not general nutritionists or non-specialised physicians.

Our approach is grounded in published, peer-reviewed science, including randomised controlled trials on AI-assisted microbiome modulation and precision nutrition.

From the moment you choose your package to your final dietitian consultation, a dedicated coordination team supports your experience every step of the way.

Disclaimer

Disclaimer: This test is designed as a wellness product based on the latest evidence, focused on supporting health and wellness and reducing disease risk through precision nutrition and clinical dietitian advice. It is not a diagnostic test for individuals with new-onset symptoms and is not intended to diagnose, cure, or treat illness or disease. Where symptoms exist, we recommend a gastroenterology consultation.

Dysbiosis: why it matters

Expanding research shows that disturbances in your gut microbial ecosystem, such as a loss of beneficial microbes or an expansion of harmful ones, may be associated with a wide range of health conditions. These associations are scientifically important: they help guide precision nutrition and behaviours that support health and reduce disease risk. New studies are now working to define whether certain microbes at specific levels lead directly to the development of conditions.

Not all microbiome tests are equal

Many gut tests deliver expensive, confusing reports with little practical support. Our service combines advanced science with clinical expertise, so you receive actionable, data-driven guidance.

The power of continued testing

One test is a snapshot. A trend tells a story.

A single test reveals where your microbiome stands today. But the real value comes from tracking change over time: following your personalised plan, then retesting to see what’s improved and where to optimise further.

Your testing timeline

  1. Baseline testing to understand your starting point
  2. Follow your 3–6 month personalised nutrition plan
  3. Retest to track progress and identify areas to enhance
  4. Your dietitian refines your approach

Frequently asked questions

Absolutely. The test involves collecting a simple stool sample at home using a provided kit. There are no invasive procedures and the sample is analysed in our certified laboratory using advanced genomic sequencing technology.

This test is suitable for adults of all ages who want to optimise their health through precision nutrition.

Yes, the test is safe for individuals with existing health conditions. However, it's important to understand that this test does not provide medical diagnoses. If you have active symptoms or diagnosed gastrointestinal conditions, we recommend consulting with a GI specialist in addition to using our service. Your clinical dietitian will work within the scope of nutrition guidance and can coordinate with your healthcare team.

Yes, pregnant and breastfeeding women can take the test. Our registered clinical dietitians have the expertise to provide nutrition guidance appropriate for these life stages, ensuring recommendations support both maternal and infant health.

Registered clinical dietitians undergo rigorous clinical training and are the referral of choice for specialist physicians. Our dietitians have additional specialised training in gut microbiome science.

No. This test identifies associations between specific bacteria and certain health conditions based on scientific research. It does not provide medical diagnoses. The findings help you take proactive actions to reduce health risks through nutrition, but if symptoms exist, we recommend consulting with a Gastroenterology specialist for proper medical evaluation.

Individual results vary, but many clients notice improvements in digestive comfort, energy levels, and overall wellbeing within 4-8 weeks of following their personalised nutrition plan. The microbiome is dynamic and responsive to dietary changes but sustainable shifts require consistency over time.

Yes! We recommend retesting after 3-6 months of following your personalised plan to track improvements and allow your dietitian to make refined adjustments. Our repeat packages are specifically designed for this purpose and offer excellent value for ongoing optimisation.

Your detailed microbiome report provides actionable insights across key areas:

Section 1: Your Gut Microbiome Profile

Individual health parameters that characterise your current gut microbiome and identify where you can target changes to diversify your gut microbiome and enhance health and wellbeing:

  • Microbiome age
  • Wellness score
  • Microbiome diversity
  • Carbohydrate metabolism
  • Sleep quality indicators
  • Bowel motility
  • Gluten sensitivity
  • Processed food index

Section 2: Bacterial and Disease Associations

This section presents the associations between specific bacteria in your microbiome and certain health conditions. Important: Results indicate associations rather than direct causality. For each condition, you can see whether relevant bacteria were detected in your microbiome and, if present, their levels.

The 'Evidence Rate' reflects the scientific strength of each association, based on how extensively the bacteria-disease relationship has been studied and validated in peer-reviewed literature. These findings help you take actions to reduce risk but do not constitute medical diagnoses.

Section 3: Personalised Nutrient Guide (300+ Foods Analysed)

Different bacterial species require different nutrients. This personalised nutrition guide helps balance your microbiome by selectively feeding the right bacteria in your gut. The purpose is to increase beneficial bacteria while reducing those that cause imbalance.

Each food receives a score from 0-10:

  • 0-3: Eat less of these nutrients
  • 4-7: Maintain for a balanced and varied diet
  • 8-10: Enrich your diet with these nutrients

Note: Food recommendations are specifically designed to support the growth of beneficial bacteria and do not reflect general health or long-term dietary guidance. Your clinical dietitian will help you integrate these recommendations into a comprehensive, balanced eating plan.
