Alex Zaharakis

Alex is an expert. So grateful for his guidance

Amazing

Alex is really good , extremely knowledgeable and thinks out of the box

Alex's recommendations brought us peace after extreme chaos and my son went down 20 ATEC points

Wonderful human being and excellent practitioner.

10 out of 5! Awesome!

I cannot recommend Alex Zaharakis highly enough. After struggling with constipation for over seven years, Alex’s gut-balancing program has completely transformed my health. Within weeks of following his carefully designed protocol, I began experiencing daily bowel movements, which has made a tremend... show moreous difference to my mood, energy, and overall wellbeing. What sets Alex apart is his extraordinary intelligence and unique background. With a high-level foundation in mathematics, data analytics, and medical physics, he has developed his own microbiome analysis software and model that delivers insights far beyond conventional approaches. Thanks to his precision, my Desulvovibrio levels - which had remained stubbornly elevated for years - were finally reduced, while Bifidobacteria levels increased by a considerable factor for the first time in a very long time. Even more impressively, Alex identified a rise in Prevotella species, revealing a new lead in my gut health journey - an important piece of the puzzle that warrants further exploration and rebalancing. Alex is brilliant, compassionate, and deeply committed to his work. His ability to merge advanced analytics with clinical wisdom makes him truly one of a kind. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance and for the profound improvements I’ve experienced under his care. show less

Alex is top notch. The gut balancing process is proving to be difficult with our two year old picky eater— but having someone as knowledgeable as Alex in our corner is a huge comfort! He really knows his stuff and we are so grateful for his time.

Amazing changes in our son from the first round of gut balancing. Thank you, Alex!

God bless you trying to help our kids dear Alex.

Very good communication and great suggestions!

Alex was extremely helpful in interpreting my results and supplement recommendations.

Alex is so knowledgeable and passionate about his work and helping children with ASD. I appreciate all he does for our community and look forward to continuing to work with his advice.

Supremely knowledgeable and dedicated professional

Alex really knows his stuff and approach gut balancing from a much higher level than the vast majority of people out there.

Alex gives detailed protocols and in a very scientific manner. Totally recommendable!

Outstanding help and encouragement was provided for me by Alex Zaharakis. He has helped restore my health and healing journey! I can't thank him enough!

Great feedback

Good recommendations after analysis

It was so helpful! My son is improving his language skills as we address his gut biome.

Alex is amazing, his knowledge is second to none. He has helped us so much. Thank you Alex.

Alex Zaharakis has been of immense help to me, and I continue to follow his recommendations. I've seen considerable change so far.

Highly recommend!

Alex is the best microbiome analyst i have ever seen. His interpretation and suggestion are out of this planet. A bit detail and complex but he is there to answer any question you might have.

we just finished the 6 weeks treatment and we have seen a lots of improvement in bowel movement and also cognition.

Alex is a great guy doing great things and helping a lot of people

After sharing my exhaustive and THOROUGH medical history (I’m missing most of my mall intestines AND a bariatric patient) he had me purchase $1200.00 worth of supplements(many from his own brand/company) and then just 2 days before beginning his protocol and after weeks of working with him and colle... show morecting the necessary supplements, he decided my case was too difficult for him. He refused to support me if I chose to start his protocol.He did refund me for 1 order but that was only about a quarter of what I spent to begin the protocol. I’d be 100% on my own with no input or help if anything went wrong and no direction for follow up or continued course of action. I feel that this would have been easily a 5 star review, even if he had still chosen not to work with me, if he hadn’t made the decision to dismiss me AFTER having me spend $$$$ and spent the next several emails gaslighting me about it all. It was gross. As a side note, the supplements are phenomenal and his knowledge is definitely worth it if you can get him to commit and you are an average person with basic dysbiosis and needing gut balancing help OR you are ASD. He won’t hold your hand but he’ll give you what you need to start your journey. show less

Alex excels at identifying problems and providing precise, actionable advice for correcting imbalances. Thanks to his support, my autistic son has transformed from feeling angry, frustrated, annd refusing to use his AAC device to thriving both at school and in the community. He now enjoys being arou... show morend others and wants to be part of the group. Additionally, Alex helped me uncover the root of my own gut issues, which had a significant impact on my quality of life. His expertise is evident, and he is truly a joy to collaborate with.

Extremely knowledgeable, concerned about your health, replies often, and even creates a very detailed, and specific protocol for your needs alongside supplement suggestions to prevent die-off symptoms.

He helped mys on alot. We had few gains. Going to try gut balancing again with him

Alex is thorough when analyzing results and helping me make the best decisions for my health!

Was weird, felling arrogance and angry from him answering in my emails even I done a mistake witch cost me more money i think have other way to explain and communicate

Great practitioner!

Alex and Dr bogner have been amazing! They are both very committed to finding the root cause of our childrens behaviour. Alex is very knowledgeable and his recommendations are always on point. I believe the gut balance programme is a big part of the puzzle into helping my son lose his diagnosis.

Very professional and kind. 100% recommend

Just finished the first 6-week protocol Alex made for me, and I have very positive improvements in both test results and physical symptoms. Looking forward to continuing under his guidance.

Very patient and helpful

Extremely happy with Alex and his professional approach, even after first round great improvement in terms of mood and actual test results. Highly recommend! Thank you Alex

Incredible interpretation technique and I am feeling much better!

Very informative, complete and on the point analysis. Thank you!

Alex is one of the most knowledgeable people that I know about microbiome issues. He has extensive knowledge on ASD as well. He’s really willing to help his clients. I highly recommend Alex.

Very knowledgeable practitioner and we have seen good results with him .

Honestly Alex has helped my daughters more than any other practitioner. Over the past half decade we have tried everything and were routinely disappointed. Alex is the first and only practitioner to effect a positive change. More than even some supposedly world renowned physicians.

Super easy to work with and beyond helpful! Highly recommend

We are so so grateful for Alex! His recommendations are amazing and he does this on his own time! I recommend him highly! He is changing lives!

I don't think anyone knows the gut as well as Alex does. He is brilliant and the work he does with kids on the spectrum is inspiring. My daughter has been on his protocol for 6 weeks and we've seen big gains already.

Very expertive and accurate praticioner

Very authentic, real, genuine person.

Alex has been so helpful in this process, he has provided a step by step tutorial for all of us parents who are doing anything and everything to help our children. We would not be able to do this without the guidance of Alex Z. Thank you for everything.

Thank you, Alex, for reading the results and sending me a detailed 10-week protocol. I look forward to letting you know all of the improvements I notice in my autistic son.

Alex has been helping us for my daughter’s gut issue, His recommendations are really helpful for the gut balancing protocol.

After using the protocol , It’s not only improved the gut health, Also, It has helped my daugh... show moreter being more attentive and her more cognitive condition has been improved.

he is the best!

Quick and to the point with a lot of suggestions

Seen a lot of improvements from Alex suggestions.

Very caring practitioner who puts the interest of his clients at high priority. Alex is always search and exploring new strategies and products to help his clients. My family are so grateful for his time and continuous help and support.

I'm not fully healed yet but the gains ive made towards lowering my IBS pain cannot be over-stated. This is a new budding science and Alex is definitely a leading doctor in knowledge. There aren't many people of his caliber, I appreciate him to the ends of the earth.

many thanks for all your help.

I have been listening to Alex and following his expertise for a while now. I knew he was the man to help my daughter. He knows from experience with his own son and is very specific with his recommendations for a reason. He is quick to respond if we are having a problem or a question and even has ch... show moreecked on her after a bout of sickness.

Consulting with Alex has greatly improved the quality of my son's (and our family's) life. My son is 9 years old and has enjoyed some gut healing before this consultation but I wasn't sure what to expect. Alex gave us extremely detailed recommendations based on my son's gut microbiome results that w... show moree could implement at once. I was so happy there was something concrete we could work towards changing. We saw positive changes pretty soon after. I think the best part of the protocol was the flexibility it allowed and that it didn't demand 100% perfection from us parents or the child in order to work. Alex also responded so promptly to all our queries and was really patient. THANK YOU ALEX! show less

Amazing!

Alex Zaharakis is outstanding and very knowledgeable! We have been blessed to come across him.

Alex is a wealth of knowledge and also very caring and compassionate with his clients. He has also created several products through Researched Elements that I very much like and use myself.

Alex is a very knowledge and experienced practitioner. He has his own supplements, gut-rebalancing business, and writes blogs for Biomesight. He is genuinely concerned and wants to help people get better. Alex is not in it for profit. He actually went so far as to send me some supplements to ... show moretry to get me back on track. I had gone to numerous doctors and had various tests to no avail. Alex was able to diagnose me with Candida in one email. If you follow exactly what he says and eat all the healthy foods you can tolerate (no strange diets keto, paleo, candida, etc.), you will start to feel better very soon. show less

Since starting on Alex's gut balancing protocol, we've seen some significant positive changes in our son. We've worked with many practitioners in the past who have, in a nutshell, made our son's gut worse with their guesswork-based approach ("throw spaghetti at the wall and see if it sticks" and "ki... show morell our way to health"). This left us with "scorched earth" for good bacteria and allowed bad bacteria to reign supreme. By contrast, Alex's approach to gut balancing has put our son squarely on the road to improvements in his health, symptoms, and growing the good bacteria which we feared we might not see again after so many years of the wrong interventions. We feel as though we can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel, and we would not have this without Alex's assistance. We are so grateful to Alex to see that we are finally on a path towards a gut healing path that will only lead to more improvements. show less

Alex has been extremely helpful in suggesting specific microbiome modulators based on stool testing. His suggestions have helped regulate my motility, an incredible gain! He has been very responsive to email communications and I really appreciate his help.

Alex provided an extremely detailed, thorough plan in response to my test results. The plan included supplement recommendations, exactly which to buy and where they could be sourced, along with explanations on how and why they would help. He is always quick to respond to any questions or concerns an... show mored approaches your situation with care. Thank you, Alex. show less

Working with Alex has been such a huge blessing in my life. Thanks so his help my gut is healing and heading towards being rebalanced. My symptoms have improved drastically, mainly my energy levels, and therefore my quality of life is so much better.

Alex is a great practitioner. His recomindations were very accurate. We received wondeful results implementing his program !

I can certainly recommend Alex as a practitioner. He possesses extensive knowledge about the gut microbiome and is well-versed in treating Prevotella overgrowth. Despite having a high case load, Alex takes the time to treat me, for which I am very grateful. I have noticed significant positive change... show mores in both my mood and body in a short period. He communicates effectively, providing targeted and personalized advice based on scientific facts. Feeling unheard or misunderstood in conventional medicine can be frustrating, so I am thrilled to be following Alex's gut balancing program and gaining valuable insights into the gut microbiome. show less

I have been working via Biomesight for a year now with my adult daughter who has Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS). For the first six months I worked myself using various online features to try to solve some of the gut dysfunction of my daughter. My efforts were imprecise and a bit random and after... show more about six months I started to look around for some practical help. I found Alex Zaharakis on Biomesight, contacted him and started working with him. This man is very generous with his time and information. He has been a revelation to me and my daughter. Alex answered my request for help with clear instructions on how to proceed. With a new Biomesight test information, he ran it through his program and gave us a six week schedule to follow. We were able to implement the recommendations for the first six weeks of the protocol and then test again with bombsight. Direct and clear progress was achieved, giving us the necessary guidance for the next six weeks, which we are in the middle of now. Basically Alex's suggestions - which are somewhat extensive - and the results brought confidence to our previous seemingly random approach. Coherence is what Alex's suggestions bring, along with a path forward. Gut problems are slow to rebalance and the program goes on for a few sessions before a maintenance platform might be applied. None of this would have been possible without Alex's generous and knowledgeable guidance. Alex brings his expanding knowledge back to his program and this allows the care provider and/or patient to participate in a rational, trial and error process. Yes it takes time, but it yields measurable results. And, most importantly, one can learn from him a great deal about the function of the gut, what is now called the second brain. In other words, Alex gives you information with which you can learn and further educate yourself. The amazing thing is that he does this with a great many people, giving and transferring his knowledge to people in need. If one wants to learn about him, watch his YouTube videos or go to his website. Along with Dr. Bogner, Alex has developed various products that help bring his gut balancing ideas to fulfillment. These can be found at researchedelements.com. Dr. Bogner and Alex Zaharakis continue to develop new products to bring benefit to a broad spectrum of patients, I cannot say enough about my appreciation of his knowledge and character. The subject itself is fascinating and Alex gives one the notion that it is controllable at some level and that betterment can be achieved. Regard, Chris show less

I have been very happy with Alex - he provides detailed analysis and actionable insight that has delivered results.

I would highly recommend this practitioner. I did his gut reset programme once - but I did stretch it out to a longer timeframe as I was sensitive. I am sleeping better, my brain works better, my gut works a LOT better (not 100% of the time but it's in the right direction). I have days with totally ... show moreflat stomach, no bloating, no going to the bathroom 100 times. I have days with zero anxiety and nervous system stimulation. I react to things much more rarely. I have less neuro tics. My skin looks better and my hair has grown extremely fast (bc of the MSM I think). My lab tests are way better - cholesterol is down (a tiny bit), I am no longer neutropenic, and I am no longer anaemic. This just shows how a messed up gut messes up the whole body. Alex communicates quickly and is very smart and encourages you to listen to your body too. We need more practitioners like this. show less

Very helpful and informative.

Excellent

Extremely bad experience

I highly, warmly recommend Alex's work. When I first asked Alex for help, I was not having much hope left. I was trying to detox from mold and my long term dysbiosis of 10+ years was not allowing that, also leading me to an otosclerosis diagnosis. Although there is a long way left of this marathon, ... show moreI feel that Alex's recommendations have helped me in 6 weeks more than any other protocol has ever helped me in all these years. He has very in depth knowledge about the microbiome and its relationship with the entire system. His methods are perfectly tailored to your microbiome, at the level that anything he adds, with great timing, will take effect quite fast. He is very knowledgeable, the methods are efficient, practical, offering life-lasting advice, with genuine kindness and care, which is quite rare in my experience. Going the extra mile when necessary, while keeping excellent boundaries and subtly directing me to be responsible for my recovery, was mutative for me. I am very grateful for his help. show less

I can't recommend more for what Alex has done for my child diagnosed with moderate ASD, speech and overall developmental delay.

Overall my child has subtle yet steady gains after 2 rounds, namely 1. no more night wakings 2. improved constipation 3.more spontaneous speech 4. less tantrums I strongly believe what he advocates "healing the gut is the first priority" and the best is yet to come. show less

Very knowledgeable practitioner, highly responsive and broad expertise in his field.

Alex has designed a sophisticated analysis model to further quantify the microbiome. From there he uses current literature and clinical experience to make comprehensive, personalised recommendations, gradually shepherding the microbiome towards balance. Alex also has a strong understanding of toxici... show morety and fungi, something many practitioners seem to lack.

We had been to so many doctors, specialists and super specialists both in India and Australia but couldn't get any proper answer to the problems/issues which my daughter faced for several ye... show morears. I joined his FB group in 2022 and then the recovery journey of my daughter started. His knowledge on guts issues faced by ASD kids is par excellence. We got answers to most of the issues which my daughter faced like giddy laughter, night awakening, pain related to oxalates, hand twirling/fidgeting, biting/chewing and many more. Alex uses herbals and prebiotics/probiotics to balance the gut microbiome. He has developed a unique way of analyzing it with the help of Matlab which I don't think any practitioner can do. His approach is one of its kind because he exactly knows which pathogen is to be targeted and reduced and which good bacteria to be increased. He also provides details of scientific research articles for reference. All the diseases start in your gut and only a health microbiome can support a strong immune system. So, Alex's unique approach can even be used for several other gut related issues like IBD, Leaky gut and the likes. I would strongly recommend to take Alex's help if you or your family members are facing any gut related issues. I would give Alex 10 on 10. show less

Well, Alex Zaharakis have 5 stars because is not possible to give him 10, otherwise, 10 would be the score. Very approachable, very focus, amazing.
