2026 Workshop Programme

Why do some patients struggle with persistent GI issues despite the ‘perfect’ protocol? Sometimes the answer lies beyond just the microbes inhabiting the GI tract but in the genetic and biological landscape they inhabit.

This clinical presentation explores how combining host genetic insights with functional microbiome testing can elevate precision in gut health assessment and intervention. Using the DNA Gut panel alongside the GI-MAP stool analysis, we will walk through a real-world case study to demonstrate how genetic predispositions and microbial patterns intersect to shape digestive function, immune regulation, and inflammatory risk.

Attendees will gain a clear insight for integrating unique SNP-based insights; such as genetic variations influencing mucosal immunity, inflammatory signalling, detoxification pathways, and food antigen response with GI Map-derived data encompassing real time impacts and consequences.

Through this case, we will highlight how layered data can uncover hidden drivers of chronic symptoms, refine clinical hypotheses, and support more targeted, personalised interventions - the total gut audit. Helping practitioners to move beyond isolated test interpretation toward a systems-based, genomically informed, root cause approach to gut health.
