SIBO Reporting, Made Clearer. Faster. Smarter.

Introducing NutriPATH’s updated SIBO Breath Test reports — now featuring Lactulose, Fructose, and Glucose substrate options for a more comprehensive assessment of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth.

Why this matters:
💨 Faster results: Get SIBO results within just 24 hours of receiving the sample.
💨 Enhanced clarity: Detailed, easy-to-interpret reporting supports accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
💨 Comprehensive assessment:
• SIBO – Lactulose (2025) – our most popular test for detecting small intestinal bacterial overgrowth via hydrogen & methane production.
• SIBO – Fructose (2021) – identifies bacterial overgrowth and fructose malabsorption linked to bloating, pain, and irregular bowel habits.
• SIBO – Glucose (2030) – detects overgrowth in the upper small intestine, helping guide targeted treatment for digestive imbalance.

Clinicians can now make faster, more informed decisions for their patients’ gut health — all with clear, actionable insights.

Practitioners, we’re excited to launch Decoding Hormones - a brand-new practitioner-only education series designed to sharpen your clinical approach to hormone testing and patient care.

✨ Today’s session with Dr Leah Hechtman:
A detailed exploration of perimenopause as a clinically complex and often misunderstood stage of hormonal transition.

You’ll gain insights into:
• Biochemical changes across the perimenopausal timeline
• Key symptom drivers incl. HPA axis dysregulation + estrogen dominance
• Functional testing strategies to clarify hormonal shifts
• Environmental + lifestyle strategies
• Evidence-based therapeutic considerations from herbal interventions to hormone therapy

💡 Includes 1 CPD hour. Certificates issued at the end of the series.

👉 If you’re a registered practitioner, there’s nothing you need to do — the webinar will be delivered straight to your inbox today at 4pm, ready to watch for free.

When detox pathways are compromised, even small exposures to hormone-disrupting chemicals can tip the scales toward hormonal imbalance

Swipe to see:
✔️ How endocrine disruptors interfere with hormone signalling
✔️ Why methylation is critical for hormone metabolism & clearance
✔️ Key clinical assessments + supportive strategies

Takeaway: toxic load + impaired methylation = multiplied risk

This is where functional testing and targeted support can truly shift outcomes in practice.

Men, listen up! 👋

Fertility takes two to tango — and s***m health matters. PFAS, the so-called “forever chemicals” found in cookware, packaging, occupational settings + even water, are now linked with lower s***m count, reduced motility + hormone disruption.

BPA & PFAS: Hidden Risks for Fertility & Pregnancy

These chemicals are endocrine disruptors, meaning they can interfere with hormones crucial for conception and a healthy pregnancy.

Where they hide:
🥤 BPA: Plastics, canned food linings, thermal receipts
💄 PFAS: Non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, certain cosmetics & personal care products, some cleaning products

Research links them to:
🤰Longer time-to-pregnancy
🤰Lower birth weight
🤰Increased risk of preeclampsia
🤰Potential impacts on egg and s***m quality

Reducing contact with plastics, packaged foods, and PFAS-containing products can help support reproductive health. Swipe to read more 👋

Beta-glucuronidase is a marker worth paying attention to in your client’s microbiome testing.
This enzyme plays a big role in how your body recycles and eliminates certain compounds – including hormones, toxins, and medications.

When levels are too high, it can interfere with detoxification and contribute to issues like hormone imbalance or toxin reabsorption. When too low, it may affect healthy microbial function.

👉 Swipe to see why this little enzyme causes so much fuss and what it could mean for your clients’ health.

Did you know gut bacteria help regulate estrogen?

The estrobolome is a specific group of microbes that can either help clear estrogen or send it back into circulation.

“Everything looks normal on their blood test”… but your client still feels exhausted? 🙄

You’re not alone—this is one of the most common frustrations we hear from practitioners.

Standard pathology is designed to screen for disease, not assess functional or optimal health ranges. This means clients can feel exhausted and still be told their results are “fine.”

If your clients are dealing with unexplained fatigue and you want to dig deeper, here are some of the clinical thought processes we use, plus the tests we often consider most helpful.

Why does microbial diversity matter?

Because in the gut, more really is more.

Higher diversity = greater resilience, better function, and fewer symptoms.

Ever heard of the Shannon or Simpson index? These aren’t just numbers — they reflect how balanced and robust your microbiome truly is.

Let’s be real: diversity is a good thing everywhere — but especially in your gut 😉

How’s your gut scoring these days? 💩📊

We’ve been deep in gut talk lately (guilty 😅), but now it’s time to zoom out — and hormones are next.

Our new EndoMAP is well and truly here, and it’s a game changer.

Using advanced dried urine testing, it provides highly sensitive, accurate insight into hormone metabolites — giving you a comprehensive view of endocrine function.

From mood to metabolism, cycles to cortisol, hormones impact everyone. Whether it’s fatigue, low libido, stress dysregulation, or unexplained weight changes, testing can uncover the missing pieces that shift a whole case.

🎥 Tap to watch a walkthrough of the test and how it can support your clinical decision-making.
