THE GUT RESET
Gut testing that tells you what's actually driving your symptoms
For women with persistent bloating, bowel changes, food reactions or gut symptoms that have not responded to standard advice. The Gut Reset gives you a comprehensive look at your gut using advanced stool testing, finally showing you what is happening beneath the surface so your plan is built from data and not from guesswork.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR
Your gut keeps sending signals.
Nobody has told you what they mean.
You plan your day around your digestion. Bloating that arrives by mid-afternoon and does not leave. Constipation, loose stools, or both in the same week. Foods that were fine last year and are not fine now. Symptoms that get worse before your period. A GP who ran a few tests and said everything looked normal. An elimination diet that helped for a while, then stopped. Probiotics, tried with no real change.
You have been told, one way or another, that it is probably IBS and you will need to manage it.
Somewhere in that list is the point where you stop asking what is wrong with you, and start asking what your gut is actually responding to. That is where the Reset begins.
The problem was never you. It was the guessing.
Gut symptoms are not one thing. Two women with the same bloating can have completely different pictures underneath it. Different bacterial balance. Different digestive function and inflammation. Different microbes, from yeast to parasites to opportunistic bacteria. Different effects on how the gut handles oestrogen.
Every generic gut protocol was always going to fall short, because none of them were built from your actual data. Another elimination diet or another shelf of probiotics is still a guess.
I stopped believing in generic protocols a long time ago. I have lived with hormonal health conditions where nothing generic worked, and I have seen how often the gut is part of the answer. That is why the Reset exists. Test, don't guess, is not a slogan on a page. It is the approach I rely on.

Registered member of NMHNZ - Naturopaths and Medical Herbalists of New Zealand
I am Tegan, a naturopath and medical herbalist with over a decade of both clinical and personal experience with hormonal health conditions. Gut health sits at the centre of how I work with women, because the gut and hormones are so closely linked. I built Naturalist, and the Reset, because I know exactly what it costs to keep guessing at your own body.
The Reset is the tool I wished existed when I was the one searching for answers. It is not a management plan. It is a way of finally seeing what is going on, so the plan that comes next is built from your data, not from a generic template.
Here is the plan I hand every woman who reaches this point.
This is the moment everything stops being a mystery. One focused piece of work: comprehensive gut testing, a plan built from your results and a way forward that is finally yours to hold.
No endless appointments. Just answers, a plan, and the freedom to stop wondering what your gut is doing and start putting one positive change after the other.
Investment: $1,297 NZD including GST.

THE TESTING
The most detailed look at your gut you have probably ever had
Standard investigations are good at ruling out specific conditions. They are not designed to map your microbiome or show how your gut is functioning day to day. For persistent gut symptoms, that is often where the real answers live.
The Complete Microbiome Map is a stool test, done at home, that looks at your gut from every angle. It is the test I lean on most for women with gut symptoms. It matters for hormones too, because your gut plays a direct role in how oestrogen is cleared.

Digestive function and inflammation
Markers that show how well your gut is digesting and how irritated it is. Calprotectin and secretory IgA, pancreatic elastase for digestive enzyme output, steatocrit for fat absorption, zonulin, faecal pH and more. This gives us a read on whether digestion, inflammation or immune activity is part of your picture.
Your gut and oestrogen clearance
Beta-glucuronidase is an enzyme made by gut bacteria. When it runs high, oestrogen your body has already processed can be released back into circulation instead of leaving your body. This is part of what is called the estrobolome, and it is one reason gut symptoms so often follow your cycle.
Infection and pathogen screen
Pathogenic bacteria, H. pylori, parasites, worms and gut viruses, plus a check for hidden blood in the stool. Gut infections can sit behind symptoms that start suddenly or never fully settle, and they change what the right plan looks like.
Your protective bacteria
Bifidobacteria, Lactobacilli, F. prausnitzii and other beneficial species that protect your gut lining, support digestion and keep less friendly microbes in check. Low levels are common after repeated courses of antibiotics. They are also worth knowing about if thrush or BV keep coming back, because gut and vaginal Lactobacillus are linked.
Short-chain fatty acids
Total short-chain fatty acids, plus acetate, butyrate, propionate and valerate. These are made when gut bacteria ferment fibre. Butyrate in particular is the main fuel for the cells lining your colon, so low levels can point to a gut that is not getting what it needs to repair and regulate itself.

Akkermansia
A bacterium that lives in the mucus layer of your gut and supports the gut lining. It is read alongside your inflammation markers, because a high or low result means different things depending on the rest of your picture.

Yeast and fungal screen
Yeasts and other fungi that can overgrow in the gut. Recent antifungals or antibiotics can mask what is there, so we go through your recent medications before you collect.
Other bacterial screens
Opportunistic bacteria, methane and hydrogen sulphide producing microbes, bacteria linked to autoimmune activity, and Oxalobacter, a species that helps break down oxalates. These are microbes that can sit behind stubborn bloating, gas and bowel changes.
Overall microbiome balance
Your main bacterial groups, called phyla, and how they sit in relation to each other, including the Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio. This is the big-picture view of how balanced your microbiome is. DNA-based results show which microbes are present, not exactly what they are doing. That is why every result is read in the context of your symptoms, history and di

01
Book in
Book your initial consultation directly, or start with a free 15-minuteDiscovery Call if you would like to check the Reset is the right fit first.
02
Intake and payment
Your intake forms come through automatically once you book. I will issue your invoice, and your testing is ordered as soon as payment is received.
03
Your initial consultation
A 60-minute session covering your full history, current symptoms, and what you want the Reset to answer.
04
Complete your test
Your kit arrives by courier. You collect an at-home stool sample, following the instructions in the kit, and send it to the lab. We confirm your collection timing together, including anything to take into account like recent antibiotics.
05
Your strategy session
Once results are back (around 2 to 3 weeks from the lab receiving your sample), we meet for 60 minutes to walk through your results and your personalised health plan.
Frequently asked questions
Not at all. Persistent gut symptoms are enough. Many of the women I work with come to the Reset with no diagnosis, or with an IBS label and no clear explanation behind it. We talk through your history and symptoms in your initial consultation.
No referral needed. You are welcome to book directly. If you would like to loop your GP in at any point, or share your report with them afterwards, that is completely your call and I am happy to support either way.
Please see your GP promptly. These symptoms need medical assessment, and the Gut Reset is not a substitute for that.
No. The Complete Microbiome Map looks at your microbiome and digestive markers. It cannot assess the bowel lining, polyps or bleeding, so any investigations your GP or specialist has recommended still stand.
It shows which microbes are present and what your digestive and inflammation markers are doing. DNA-based testing shows presence, not activity, so results are always read alongside your history, symptoms and diet. That is why your strategy session is built around you and not around the report alone.
Recent antibiotics or antifungals can change what the test finds, so timing matters. Tell me about any recent courses when you book, and we work out the right collection time together.
Not at all. The Reset is delivered fully online for clients anywhere in New Zealand. Your test kit is couriered directly to your home, and all consultations are on video call.
Your kit is couriered to you after you book and pay. Once the lab receives your sample, results take around 2 to 3 weeks. From there we book your strategy session as soon as they are in. I will guide you through each step so nothing is left to guess.
