Neurobiome™ Consultancy helps you unlock your inner advantage by decoding your body’s signals - its signs & symptoms so you can truly understand what your body is trying to tell you.

Every signal, whether subtle or significant, matters. When viewed together, these signals reveal your unique body pattern - the key to building lasting health.

At its core, Neurobiome™ Consultancy focuses on the gut–brain connection to enhance cognition, mood, digestion & overall wellbeing. It explores the vital links between the brain, nervous system, & gut microbiome—the biology that shapes how we think, feel & perform. Modern living - industrialisation, processed diets, high stress & environmental changes have disrupted these internal ecosystems, affecting digestion, immunity, brain health & resilience. Addressing these areas are essential for creating good health & preventing illness.

The Neurobiome™ approach unites Western medical science with Eastern wisdom, blending scientific precision with practical insight. This integration creates a powerful pathway to restore balance, prevent disease & optimise long-term health & performance.

By identifying early imbalances, those subtle signs and symptoms that often go unnoticed - Neurobiome™ Consultancy enables truly proactive & preventative healthcare.

The ultimate goal: empower you to take back control of your whole-body health by understanding what your body is trying to tell you, the language of your body. Only then can you effectively work with your body.

Neurobiome™ Consultancy is for everyone - no matter where you are on your health journey. Whether you are seeking relief from symptoms, wanting to optimise your wellbeing or striving for peak performance, we provide the support to help you get there.

This approach is for individuals who want to understand why particular signs & symptoms occur and how to address them by uncovering the root cause. By listening closely to the body’s signals, we can begin to understand what’s happening inside - and only then can we take steps toward creating true health.

Neurobiome™ Consultancy is about creating health & preventing disease. We work with both simple & complex conditions. Many people we support live with chronic or autoimmune diseases & want to continue to maintain the health they once had prior to a diagnosis. Autoimmune conditions including Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis), Thyroiditis, Graves’ Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Myasthenia Gravis, Scleroderma.

At the same time, Neurobiome™ Consultancy also helps individuals who experience ongoing signs and symptoms without a clear diagnosis - often leaving them confused & frustrated. This was part of my own experience, so I can appreciate how it feels. Many of these situations simply reflect the limitations of our current diagnostic system when it comes to chronic conditions, hence a limited understanding of what’s happening inside the body.

Neurobiome Method™ - born from a passion to inspire & create vibrant health, starting from within, through the neuro-biome. Neuro refers to the nerves & nervous system, while biome is the natural ecosystem of microbes & life force within the body - especially in the gut - working in harmony with our immune system, brain & energy to keep us healthy, balanced & thriving.

Neurobiome Method™ is a method developed by Dr. Meredith O’Loughlan. Born from over 20 years of clinical experience, combined with formal education & deep self-learning through her personal health journey. Her journey began with gut health issues at 15, followed by surgery then the onset of neurological disease, Multiple Sclerosis 25 years ago - shaping both her personal and professional path to seek answers to heal her body & live well, naturally & drug free.

Neurobiome Method™ blends Eastern wisdom with Functional Medicine insights, combining advanced Western diagnostic testing & time-honored principles.

Neurobiome Method™ identifies & interprets the body’s unique patterns - such as stress responses, digestive changes, mood shifts & subtle physical symptoms - to create a clear picture of an individual’s health to establish appropriate treatment.

Neurobiome Method™ - the principles behind the practice:

• Identifies root cause of condition or disease

• Restores balance by working with the gut- brain axis.

• Focuses on the gut-immune barrier & the blood–brain barrier.

• Optimises cellular energy through the science behind the mitochondria - the powerhouse of every cell in the body. Further highlighting that mitochondria are being recognised as a key factor in many disease processes

• Supporting both brain health & whole-body health

• Consideration of other important players including cortisol - the `fight-or-flight’ response, nitric oxide & the vagus nerve

What is the science behind Neurobiome Method™?

The Neurobiome Method™ is firmly grounded in science. It integrates Functional Medicine with Chinese Medicine, combining modern insights into biology with the proven effects of acupuncture and herbal medicine.

Research into how acupuncture influences the nervous system & how herbal compounds affect cellular & immune function continues to grow, with an increasing number of clinical studies now published in biomedical literature - visit PubMed Database for more information.

This expanding body of evidence supports what Eastern medicine has long understood—that restoring balance in the body can prevent illness and optimise wellbeing.

The Neurobiome Method™ is a modern approach to creating health & wellbeing. By blending Eastern medicine & Western medical sciences, it provides deep insights, personalised solutions & effective strategies to restore balance & support lasting wellness.

Functional Medicine is a modern, science-based approach to personalised healthcare. Rather than simply managing symptoms, it seeks to uncover & address the root causes of ill health.

Standard lab results don’t always explain why someone feels unwell. That’s why Functional Medicine uses diagnostic testing to assess how the body’s systems are actually functioning - not just whether results fall within a “normal” range.

Examples of testing include:

• Gut microbiome analysis

• Intestinal permeability testing

• Comprehensive stool analysis

• SIBO breath testing

• Food sensitivity profiling

• Cortisol levels

• Hormonal panels

• Inflammatory and immune markers

These tests help detect early imbalances, allowing for truly proactive & preventative care. Based on results, personalised nutritional & lifestyle recommendations are discussed.

Services are delivered in collaboration with Western medical specialists, when requried.

Eastern Medicine (Chinese Medicine) is a complete medical system with over 3,000 years of continuous practice. It combines profound clinical knowledge with deep philosophical principles to understand the body, interpret subtle signs & symptoms and identify patterns of health or imbalance.

Rather than just managing symptoms, Chinese Medicine focuses on uncovering and addressing the root causes of illness. It views the body as an interconnected system, where physical, mental, emotional & energetic aspects all influence one another. The aim is to restore balance & support the body’s innate ability to heal - through modalities such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, mind–body practices & energy-based therapies.

Guided by principles of harmony, prevention & pattern differentiation, Chinese Medicine offers a highly personalised & integrative approach to health. Increasing scientific research supports its effectiveness, with studies showing how acupuncture & herbal medicines can reduce stress, enhance cognitive & physical health, improve performance & aid disease prevention.

What led me to study Chinese medicine was the `complete body of medicine approach’ but importantly the scientific validation to the practice. Chinese medicine now features in many well recognised international scientific journals & is paving the way in future healthcare. Many people are now seeking a more natural & holistic approach to their health, without the reliance on western pharmaceuticals & their side effects.
