Digestive Problems
Health starts in your Gut. The first step to taking control of your health is keeping your gut in top shape. When you have an unhealthy gut, you can have bacterial overgrowth, parasites, insufficient beneficial gut flora, or food intolerances. As a result, everything else suffers. Aside from digestive issues such as bloating, pain, irregular bowel movement, diarrhoea, and poor appetite, you become susceptible to inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and a host of other medical conditions.
Food Intolerances / bloating
Poor gut health or digestive issues can be crippling in your everyday life. These include bloating, irritable bowel, constipation, diarrhoea, and diagnosed diseases like Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis. Despite how common these symptoms are, it can feel embarrassing and uncomfortable to seek advice and ask for help.
The gastrointestinal tract is the center of your health, and ensuring it is functioning optimally is so important. That’s why at Wellixa, we aim to demystify your gut health. Some of the tests we use are CDSA DNA PCR, Parasitology, Food Intolerance Testing, SIBO and Fructose Intolerance testing. This helps us to identify the underlying causes of your symptoms which may be parasites, pathogenic bacteria, a compromised mucosal barrier or poor liver function.
We’ll then work with you to create a clear action-plan that not only gives you relief when you need it, but empowers you to better understand and manage your gut health for a stronger and happier life.

Hormonal Acne
The role of androgens in Hormonal Acne has been well researched. Androgens are Testosterone, DHEA and DHT. These stimulate the sebaceous glands to increase sebum production which produce the acne lesions or pustules on the face, back and sometimes chest area. Oestrogens have the opposite effect. They decrease androgens and modulate pathways involved in limiting the sebaceous glands function.
What causes this to happen? Well, a variety of factors and its finding the underlying cause that is specific for you, is important in achieving results. Causes include Genetic Predisposition, diet and the imbalance of fatty acids, imbalance of gut microbiome bacteria, inflammatory processes, liver function and stress.
