The Microbiome Map gives you data, not guesswork. Instead of trialling treatments and hoping for improvement, we test first - then build a protocol around what your results actually show.

What is the Microbiome Map?
Most gut symptoms have a direct cause. Testing finds what’s been missed.
A comprehensive stool test using metagenomic sequencing, the gold standard in gut microbiome research. Instead of growing organisms in a lab, it reads the DNA of everything in your sample: bacteria, pathogens, parasites, fungi and gut health markers.
A parasite, an overgrowth, intestinal permeability or inflammation can explain why things haven’t improved. The test gives us an objective picture, so treatment isn’t guesswork.
"Most gut symptoms have a direct cause. The Microbiome Map often shows us something that's been missed - a parasite, a bacterial overgrowth, intestinal permeability, gut inflammation - that explains why things haven't improved despite trying."
How it works
Simple, with no clinic visit needed for the sample
Everything is done from home, with support at every step.
Book a consultation
Initial consult with Debbie. We review your history, symptoms, and confirm the Microbiome Map is the right test for your situation.
Test kit to your door
A test collection kit is sent to your address. You collect the sample at home and post it directly to the lab.
Results in 15–20 days
The laboratory processes your sample and returns a detailed report, reviewed in full before your next appointment.
Results consultation
We go through every finding together and build a personalised treatment plan based on what your results actually show.
What it measures
Your whole gut ecosystem, in detail
Three testing tiers are available. Most people start with Comprehensive for the most complete picture, and I’ll recommend the right option at your consultation.
What’s included
Gut microbiome
All tiers
Beneficial and opportunistic bacteria, fungi including Candida, archaea, species diversity and dysbiosis indicators.
GI health markers
Extended & Comprehensive
Gut inflammation, digestive function and immune health signals.
Pathogen screening
Comprehensive
Bacterial pathogens like H. pylori and Salmonella, parasites like Giardia and Blastocystis, and viral agents.
Is it right for you?
When a Microbiome Map makes sense
If you've been managing symptoms rather than resolving them - or if you've had normal GP results but still feel unwell - a Microbiome Map often shows what standard testing misses.
Unexplained bloating & IBS
Bloating, wind, alternating bowel habits or an IBS label without a clear cause. The Microbiome Map checks for bacterial overgrowth, pathogens and poor digestive function.
Fatigue & brain fog
Persistent tiredness, poor concentration or low mood alongside gut symptoms can indicate bacterial overgrowth, parasites, or significant microbial imbalance.
Gut symptoms that don't respond to treatment
You've tried probiotics, elimination diets, or supplements - and nothing sticks. Results show whether the approach is targeting the right issue.
You want a clinical baseline
Even without dramatic symptoms, the Microbiome Map gives you a comprehensive starting point - especially useful if you have a family history of gut or autoimmune conditions.
Skin issues linked to gut health
Eczema, acne, rosacea and psoriasis often have a gut connection. Dysbiosis, leaky gut markers and inflammation show up clearly on the Microbiome Map.
Post-infection gut issues
Gut symptoms that started after gastro, travel, antibiotics or COVID. The Microbiome Map checks whether a pathogen is still present or the microbiome is still disrupted.
Meet your naturopath
Test first, then treat
I’m a degree-qualified naturopath with a clinical focus on gut health, hormones, thyroid and skin. The Microbiome Map is one of the tests I use most, because when gut symptoms are involved, objective data changes everything.
Rather than trialling treatments and hoping for improvement, I test first and build a plan around what your results actually show. I see clients in Frenchs Forest and online across Australia.

Common questions
-
Yes - Debbie can arrange the test kit for you and then review the results together in a follow-up consultation. A consultation first is recommended so we can confirm the test is the right fit, but it's not required. Contact the clinic to work out the best starting point for you.
-
Yes. The test kit is posted to your address anywhere in Australia, and consultations are available via telehealth. Location is no barrier to ordering a GI Map through Wholme.
-
The Microbiome Map test cost is separate from the consultation fee. The total investment includes the initial consult, the lab fee, and a results consultation. Contact the clinic for current pricing.
-
Standard stool cultures rely on growing organisms in a lab, which misses anything that doesn't culture well - a significant limitation. The Microbiome Map uses metagenomic sequencing, which reads the DNA of every organism in your sample directly. It identifies far more species, with greater accuracy, than older testing methods can achieve.
-
The kit includes clear instructions. Collection is done at home using a simple swab. The sample is stable for several days when stored correctly and posted in the provided envelope.
-
Your results are discussed in full during a follow-up consultation. We build a treatment plan - dietary changes, targeted supplements, and specific interventions - based on your findings. We don't hand you a report and leave you to interpret it.
