Do you have a patient with a complex or multi-system presentation where progress has plateaued and additional functional investigation and support may be helpful?

Collaborative Functional Support for Complex Cases

We provide structured, gut-centred functional investigation designed to complement your ongoing clinical care.

We work alongside:

• Psychologists
• ADHD practitioners
• Brain and memory clinics
• Women’s health practitioners
• Skin clinics
• Allied health professionals

Consider referring when:

• Progress has plateaued despite appropriate care
• Symptoms remain persistent or multi-factorial
• There are overlapping gut, metabolic, inflammatory or skin concerns
• The client may benefit from structured functional assessment alongside your
management

Our role

Our role is to investigate potential contributing factors — particularly within the
microbiome, gut–brain axis, gut–skin axis, detoxification pathways, inflammatory load,
and metabolic function — and provide targeted nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle
protocols designed to complement your clinical management.

We operate strictly as adjunctive care.

Patients Appropriate for Referral

We welcome referrals for patients presenting with:

Gut & Digestive Presentations

• IBS symptoms with limited resolution
• Chronic constipation (including methane-dominant patterns)
• Suspected SIBO or dysbiosis
• Chronic bloating, food sensitivities, histamine-related symptoms
• Recurrent UTIs associated with gut imbalance

Gut–Brain Axis Presentations

• ADHD or autism with digestive or metabolic co-factors
• Brain fog or reduced cognitive clarity
• Fatigue with unclear drivers
• Preventative support where there is a family history of cognitive decline

Gut–Skin Axis Presentations

• Chronic acne not responding to topical or standard care
• Rosacea with concurrent digestive symptoms
• Eczema or inflammatory skin conditions with suspected gut involvement
• Persistent skin inflammation with possible microbiome contribution

We focus particularly on cases where microbiome imbalance, motility dysfunction,
inflammatory load, detoxification stress, or metabolic factors may be contributing.

Our Clinical Approach

We use a structured, testing-guided process designed to work alongside your care.

1. Comprehensive Case Assessment

A detailed review of:

• Presenting symptoms
• Medical history
• Diet and lifestyle
• Stress and sleep patterns
• Environmental exposures

2. Targeted Functional Testing (if indicated)

Testing may include:

• Comprehensive gut and microbiome analysis
• Organic acids testing (OAT)
• Environmental and heavy metal screening
• Nutrient and metabolic markers
• Genetic insights (e.g. MTHFR, COMT)

3. Personalised Protocol Development

Individualised plans may include:

• Targeted nutrition strategies
• Practitioner-grade supplementation
• Gut and microbiome modulation
• Motility and elimination support
• Detoxification pathway support
• Lifestyle and nervous system regulation strategies

All recommendations are designed to complement — not replace — your treatment plan.

Referral Process

1. Referral Submission

Email the patient’s name and contact details, or submit via the referral form.

2. Initial Contact

We contact the patient to outline the process and confirm suitability for a Complex Case Consultation.

3. Consultation Booking

The patient books a telehealth consultation (Australia-wide).

4. Comprehensive Assessment

A detailed functional case assessment is conducted.

5. Targeted Investigation (If Indicated)

Functional testing is arranged where clinically appropriate.

6. Summary & Communication

A summary report can be provided to the referring practitioner with patient consent.
We prioritise collaborative communication and continuity of care throughout the process.
