Where research meets clinicians.
Gut Health Science was founded by Dr Henry Butt — Director of Bioscreen — and Dr Fi Lam — a GP who has applied a lens of nutrition, genomics and deep listening to much of her practice over the years. Working together, they are able to verify links between pathology and clinical application.
