The starting point for a treatment is the doctor’s reasonable suspicion that the health problem is related to a microbiome problem. The suspicion often arises when there are complaints of a chronic nature in combination with gastrointestinal problems; certainly if there is also persistent fatigue. In that case it is worthwhile to find out through a faecal analysis whether it is true that a microbiome problem is present.

Elements of a treatment

Microbiome analysis

In addition to the medical background, an extensive faecal examination is performed. With the latest ‘sequencing’ techniques, 250 parameters are examined, which gives the doctor a good insight into the composition of the microbiome. This is the basis for the personalized treatment.

The analysis process takes approximately 3 weeks.

MyOwnBlend - personal prescription

The outcome of the microbiome analysis is individually tested against the latest scientific publications and insights. Based on this, the doctor writes a prescription with the necessary pre- and
probiotic strains (called MyOwnBlend). The strains used are therefore scientifically substantiated per person, and added in the correct dosage. Determined by the doctor.
The prescription goes to the pharmacist who carries out the pharmacy check and then prepares it. The MyOwnBlend will be sent to your home address within a few days.

Lifestyle

In almost all treatments, the doctor pays attention to the importance of lifestyle and the major health effect: nutrition, exercise, rest, stress, meaning. A “gut health lifestyle recipe” is available from the doctor to support you in following a healthy lifestyle.

Individual impact monitoring

In addition to supporting the doctor, the Microbiome-Center also conducts a service interview. In this meeting we ask whether everything has been well received and whether there are any further questions about, for example, the use of the medicine. After the course of treatment, a second conversation about the result follows. Attention can also be paid to questions about how to proceed, or about possible maintenance use.

Costs

The costs of a treatment depend on what the client and doctor agree on together. For everything that is set in motion, the costs are known in advance.

The costs for an analysis are usually around € 250. Based on the results, it is checked whether a personal recipe (MyOwnBlend) is needed. If that is the case, the costs for a cure of 2-3 months are around € 275. Please note: this does not include interpretation or consultation by a practitioner.

It is possible that part of the costs will be reimbursed by the insurer. This strongly depends on the health insurance policy. Because it concerns medical costs on the advice of a doctor, it may also be possible in certain cases to deduct the costs from the tax return (see the Nibud site for this).
