The Problem I Kept Seeing
For 24 years, I’ve worked as a chiropractor treating chronic pain, fatigue, headaches, and brain-fog. Time and again, I’d see patients whose symptoms didn’t fit the standard picture — pain that moved around, energy that never quite returned, minds that felt foggy no matter how much sleep they got.
The pattern became impossible to ignore: beneath so many of these symptoms sat the same invisible driver — chronic, low-grade inflammation. Not the kind you can see or feel directly, but the kind quietly shaping how you feel every single day.
I call this hidden environmental stressor: the Inflamatrix — the toxic soup of modern inflammatory triggers: poor sleep, chronic stress, gut imbalance, nutrient gaps, and genetic predispositions that most people never get tested for, because it falls outside what a standard GP visit is built to look at.
Why I Built This
I’m Matthew Burden, BSc DC — a qualified chiropractor with specialised training in Nutrigenomics and Functional Nutrition, based in Laugharne, Wales, and founder alongside my wife Rebecca Stopp DC : Narberth Chiropractic Clinic.
Inflamatrix exists to close a gap I saw every week in clinic: patients who were told their bloods were “normal,” yet continued to feel unwell. Standard testing is built to rule out disease. It isn’t built to reveal why someone feels drained, inflamed, or foggy long before disease develops.
Inflamatrix brings together at-home biomarker testing, genomic insight, and a structured clinical framework — the MATRIX Assessment — to help you see what’s actually driving your symptoms, and a forward pathway to address it.
The MATRIX Assessment
MATRIX is the diagnostic lens behind everything we do, covering six domains:
M
Microbiome, Metabolism & Mitochondria
A
Autonomic Balance
T
Triggers & Toxic Load
R
Resolve & Repair
I
Immune Interface
X
X-Factor Genomics
Together, these domains build a fuller picture than a single blood panel ever could — combining your Baseline Inflamatrix Score (BIS) from biomarker testing with your MATRIX Assessment Score (MAS) and, where relevant, your DNA Stress Archetype.
How We Work
UKAS Accredited Labs
UKAS-accredited testing via our lab partner, Inuvi Diagnostics — the same accreditation standard used by NHS and private pathology labs.
LifeCode Gx Nutrigenomics
Genomic insight via LifeCode Gx, covering nutrition, methylation, detoxification, and nervous system panels.
24 Years Clinical Experience
Clinical interpretation rooted in functional nutrition and nutrigenomics, not guesswork.
A forward pathway
Every finding is paired with practical, achievable next steps through our FREEDOM Protocol (Fuel, Rhythm, Expression, Equilibrium, Detox, Oxygenation, Movement).
Our Approach
We believe in science-based, empowering, and compassionate guidance. We never rely on fear to motivate you, we don’t push supplements as a default answer, and we don’t position ourselves against conventional medicine — GPs and specialists remain essential for diagnosis and treatment of disease. What we offer sits alongside that: a way to understand the inflammatory and lifestyle factors driving how you feel day to day, and a clear direction for addressing them.
Matthew Burden is a Chiropractor (BSc DC) and is not a medical doctor. Inflamatrix testing and reports do not diagnose or treat any medical condition. Always consult your GP or a qualified medical professional for any new, worsening, or concerning symptoms.
