Urinary & Bladder Health
Urinary and bladder health issues, such as recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), interstitial cystitis (IC), and overactive bladder, can significantly impact quality of life.
These conditions often involve underlying factors like microbial imbalances, chronic inflammation, biofilms, or immune dysfunction. Addressing the root causes is essential for finding lasting relief and improving overall bladder health.
Symptoms
FREQUENT OR PAINFUL URINATION (DYSURIA)
URGENCY OR DIFFICULTY EMPTYING THE BLADDER
PERSISTENT OR RECURRENT UTIS
PELVIC PAIN OR PRESSURE
BLOOD IN THE URINE (HAEMATURIA)
BURNING SENSATION DURING URINATION
NOCTURIA (FREQUENT URINATION AT NIGHT)
SYMPTOMS PERSISTING DESPITE ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT
The conventional approach
The conventional treatment for urinary and bladder issues often includes antibiotics for UTIs, bladder instillations for IC, or medications for overactive bladder. While these can provide temporary relief, they may not address the underlying causes, such as microbial imbalances, biofilms, or chronic inflammation, leading to recurring symptoms.
Our approach
We take a personalised, integrative approach to urinary and bladder health, focusing on identifying and addressing the root causes of your symptoms. Our strategy includes advanced diagnostics, targeted therapies, and a collaborative approach with prescribers to ensure the most effective and appropriate treatment. Key elements of our approach include:
ADVANCED PATHOGEN IDENTIFICATION
Using Microgen Next Generation Sequencing tests to identify pathogens with precision, including hard-to-detect bacteria, fungi, and viruses
BREAKING BIOFILMS
Implementing strategies to break down biofilms—protective layers that shield pathogens from treatments—to ensure lasting results and reduce recurrence
REDUCING INFLAMMATION
Using anti-inflammatory nutrients and targeted therapies, such as omega-3 fatty acids, quercetin, and curcumin, to calm bladder irritation and support tissue repair
SUPPORTING IMMUNE FUNCTION
Modulating the immune response to prevent recurrent infections while supporting the body’s natural defences
BALANCING MICROBIOME
Addressing gut and urinary microbiome imbalances to restore a healthy microbial environment and improve resilience
COLABORATIVE CARE WITH PRESCRIBERS
Working alongside prescribers to ensure a targeted, evidence-based combination of natural therapies and the most appropriate pharmaceuticals when needed
PERSONALISED NUTRITIONAL APPROACH
Recommending dietary adjustments to reduce bladder irritation, including identifying trigger foods (e.g., caffeine, acidic foods). Encouraging hydration strategies and lifestyle changes to support urinary health and reduce symptom flare-ups
This integrative approach empowers individuals to address the root causes of urinary and bladder health issues, achieve relief, and regain confidence in their daily lives.
