In 2003 we established the Taymount Clinic in the UK, and in 2016 we opened our state of the art FMT clinic.
Today, over 3000 clients have completed our FMT Programme in the UK and our Partner Clinics are improving access to Faecal Microbiota Transplants worldwide.
For people.
We are passionate about helping people to understand digestive health. Our (optional) microbiome test offers in-depth analysis of your gut.
For Health Research.
Research is increasingly revealing fascinating information between the gut microbiome and the immune system. We believe this is the start of a microbiome revolution: a new frontier for research.
For the world.
Through our expanding network of licensed Taymount Partner Clinics, we are making Faecal Microbiota Transplants accessible around the world in compliance with the Taymount FMT Standard.
The staff at Taymount are so wonderful. I enjoyed all the days I was there with them. They are professional and very caring. They made the experience nothing but pleasant and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience under the circumstances. I am very thankful to them.

2003
The beginning
Taymount Clinic (UK) opens its doors, initially providing colonic lavage procedures, combined with complex probiotic blends.
2009
Microbiology meets digestive health.
Gut profiling shows probiotics fail to colonise the human gut. Our Co-founders, Glenn Taylor and Dr. Enid Taylor seek new ways to improve client outcomes.
2010
A lightbulb moment.
A client enquiry about Faecal Microbiota Transplants prompts us to ask: why use synthetic probiotics to improve gut flora, when human microbial cells are present in stools?
2010
To the lab.
Through research we refined a process for extracting the whole microbiome from stools. Our Co-founders test their theory; by doing ‘a Barry Marshall*’ – self-implanting microbial cells to check for side-effects and monitor changes in their microbiome. We set our goal: to open the world’s first specialist FMT clinic.
2011
A Faecal Microbiota implant.
Our standardised implant system produces FMT implants in-line with the screening, harvesting, processing, storage and delivery protocols defined in the Taymount FMT Standard.
2012
Clinical practice.
We begin offering Faecal Microbiota Transplants to clients on a small scale, carefully monitoring results and perfecting our methodology.
2014
Inspiration.
We visit Professor Thomas Barody, an FMT pioneer, who leads the Centre for Digestive Diseases in Australia. Inspired, we continue to refine our process and safety standards, striving to set the minimum safety precautions that should be in place.
2015
Going global.
Our first Taymount Partner Clinic opens, allowing more people to access our FMT Programmes.
2018
Microbiome laboratory testing launches.
We introduce microbiome lab testing, an analysis service with specialist support, for anyone interested in understanding their digestive health.
*What is a ‘Barry Marshall’?
Nobel Prize-winning Australian Gastroenterologist Dr Barry Marshall famously infected himself with Helicobacter pylori bacteria to prove his theory that H.pylori infection resulted in gastritis and led to gastric ulcers.
*FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplantation)
The Taymount FMT Standard places safety, quality and care at the heart of everything we do.
TML.science supply our implants after strict donor selection, screening and quarantine procedures to protect client safety.
We never use the whole stool. TML.science laboratory extract gut flora (microbial cells) from donated material to create FMT implants.
We remove food, mucus, biliary waste, skin cells, blood cell debris, hormones and other toxins from donor material.
Our 10 day FMT Programme uses implants from 10 different donors.
An aliquot (safety sample) is saved from every FMT implant that TML.science creates. They are stored at -80°c for a minimum of two years, to allow for any subsequent audit testing.
Every single one of our implants (used in the UK or anywhere in the world), can be traced to its original donor source. TML.science’s international tracking system provides peace of mind for us, and for clients.
Evidence shows frozen FMT implants are just as effective as fresh material.
Freezing our FMT implants at -80°c allows us to be:
Obligate anaerobes (microbial cells that cannot survive oxygen exposure) make up to 95% of the microbiome. These microbial cells are protected from oxygen at each stage, from donation to processing, storage and delivery to retain the entire microbiome for transplantation.
Our clients benefit from holistic advice, from our team of clinicians who include FMT Practitioners, Nutritional Therapists, Naturopaths, Functional Medicine Doctors and Holistic Dentists, who provide supervision, guidance on nutrition, lifestyle choices, stress relief and life-coaching alongside our Faecal Microbiota Transplants (FMT).
We also recognise the role that stress-relief plays in good health, so we offer help with relaxation techniques, meditation and lifestyle improvements generally.
