Zivio Specialised Gastrointestinal Care pathways

 Our gut-directed Care Pathways are designed for people who sense that digestion is only part of the story. Whether you are dealing with bloating, altered bowel habits, food sensitivities, reflux, IBS, fatigue, skin flares, or stress-sensitive symptoms, we approach the gut as a central hub rather than an isolated organ. These structured pathways combine detailed assessment, targeted testing where appropriate, personalised nutrition and lifestyle strategies, and ongoing clinical support over time. The aim is not simply symptom suppression, but restoring digestive resilience, calming the gut–brain axis, and creating foundations for long-term health. 

Suggested duration: 3 months
 

Consultations included:

Initial consultation: 90 minutes
 

Follow up consultations: 2
 

Overview:
Designed for people with mild to moderate gastrointestinal symptoms or those seeking proactive gut wellbeing support. This pathway focuses on early stabilisation, symptom understanding, and practical foundations for gut health.

Suggested duration: 6 months
 

Consultations included:

Initial consultation: 90 minutes
 

Follow up consultations: 6
 

Overview:
A comprehensive gut restoration pathway for complex or persistent gut symptoms, including IBS, SIBO, dysbiosis, and other ongoing gastrointestinal concerns. Suitable for people who need deeper, layered support over time.

Rather than strictl focusing on one diagnosis, these pathways take a whole-person view, integrating detailed history, appropriate testing, lifestyle medicine, nervous system support, and ongoing clinical guidance. Care unfolds over time, allowing for reflection, adjustment, and depth. The goal is clarity, momentum, and sustainable change, not quick fixes or fragmented advice.

Suggested duration: 3 months

Consultations included:

Initial consultation: 90 minutes
 

Follow up consultations: 2
 

Overview:
Focused on stabilisation and setting foundations for wellbeing. Suitable for people with a single dominant issue or those wanting a structured reset with clear clinical direction.

Suggested duration: 6 months

Consultations included:

Initial consultation: 90 minutes
 

Follow up consultations: 5
 

Overview:
A recalibration pathway addressing metabolic health, hormonal balance, mental wellbeing, and nervous system support, or other issues. Designed for people who benefit from continuity and progressive, layered care.

Suggested duration: 12 months

Consultations included:

Initial consultation: 90 minutes
 

Follow up consultations: 11
 

Overview:
A longitudinal, whole person pathway for chronic, complex, or multisystem health concerns. This pathway prioritises depth, continuity, and sustained clinical oversight over speed.

Long term stewardship pathway (existing clients only)

Suggested duration: 12 months
 

Consultations included:

Follow up consultations only: 6
 

Overview:
Designed for ongoing support once initial intensive work has been completed. Focuses on maintenance, prevention, and long term wellbeing through steady, responsive care.

At ZIVIO Health, the name reflects the philosophy. In Slavic languages, ZIVIO means to celebrate life. For me, that is what proactive medicine is really about. Not simply preventing disease, and certainly not waiting for things to go wrong, but creating the conditions for people to live fully, energetically and intentionally for as long as possible.

Lifespan is the number of years we are alive. Health span is the number of those years we remain well, clear minded, independent and engaged in the life we care about. The difference between the two can be a decade or more, and my work is focused on narrowing that gap.

These pathways are designed for people who want to invest in their future health before crisis forces change. Thrive suits those who want a structured container with ongoing monitoring, refinement and accountability. Optimise is ideal for those wanting a comprehensive biological and genomic assessment with clear, personalised recommendations, but without the longer-term support structure.

  Both pathways include “routine” blood biomarkers, comprehensive DNA screening, metabolic, cardiovascular and nutritional markers assessment, as well as biological age estimate. 

We offer this intentional format because meaningful health optimisation requires depth, context and continuity, and this model allows us to move beyond reactive medicine into proactive care that genuinely supports health span.

 Consultations included:

Comprehensive consultation: 90 minutes
 

Overview:
Designed for people who are generally healthy and well-functioning, and want a clear, evidence informed picture of their current health and future risk, with a focus on healthspan, longevity, and prevention.

This pathway centres on a single, comprehensive consultation, followed by personalised recommendations for functional testing. This may include biological age testing and genetic analysis, if desired, alongside other investigations guided by your personal health history, family history, environment, and lifestyle.

You will receive a detailed written report outlining immediate, intermediate, and long term strategies to optimise your health, resilience, and ageing trajectory. 

This pathway is suitable for those who want insight, clarity, and a tailored roadmap, without committing to ongoing care.

No  Care Planning Consultation is required. 

  Suggested duration: 12 months 

Consultations included:

Initial consultation: 90 minutes

Follow up consultations: 3
 

Overview:
Longitudinal optimisation pathway for people who want to actively work with their biology over time. It builds on the same depth of assessment as Optimise, with ongoing support to implement, refine, and adapt strategies as your body responds.

Testing is personalised and may include biological age and genetic analysis, alongside other investigations informed by your health history, family risk, environment, and goals. 

Rather than a single snapshot, Thrive allows for iteration, learning, and course correction across the year.

You will receive a detailed written plan and report, with immediate, intermediate, and long term strategies to optimise healthspan, longevity, and functional resilience. 

Thrive is suited to those who value continuity, accountability, and thoughtful stewardship of their long term health.

No  Care Planning Consultation is required.
