GUT HEALTH
YOUR GUT COULD BE HOLDING YOU BACK
Gut Health is Wealth.
Our GateWay to Health & Wellness
Did you know that 85% of our immunity is in our gut? A healthy gut communicates with the brain through nerves and hormones that maintain overall health and well-being. The GUT microbiome plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet and other factors on health and wellness, including digestive, immune, metabolic, and neuroendocrine function. Assessing GUT Health with the GI-MAP can help providers get to the root cause of illness.
-
Do you have bloating, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation or food intolerances?
-
Are you having a hard time losing and/or gaining weight?
-
Did you know that your GI microbiome can be linked to anxiety, depression and mood swings?

Gut health is linked to the immune system, metabolic disorders, mental health, auto-immune diseases, endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
What Does the GI MAP test Look for?
It relies exclusively on cutting edge quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to provide a true DNA/PCR based stool test detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and viruses by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested in addition to intestinal health markers that evaluate for inflammation and immune response.

Bacterial Pathogens, Parasitic, and Viral Pathogens: Fungi, Worms, Parasites
​
-
H. pylori & Virulence Factors: Nearly 50% of the world's population are colonized with H.pylori, even if asymtomatic is can cause ulcers, chronic gastritis, and stomach cancer
-
Commensal KeyStone Bacteria that extract nutrients and energy from our diets, maintain the gut barrier gut function, produce vitamins ( biotin & Vitamin K) and protect against colonization by potential pathogens.
-
Opportunistic/OverGrowth Microbes: Overgrowth or excessive colonization by these bacteria can occur when the Commensal Bacteria are impaired by poor diet, antibiotics, parasitic infection or weakened immune system. These organisms could escape the GUT and infect other sites outside of the stomach.
-
Inflammatory and Auto-Immune Related Bacteria and Intestinal Health Markers that evaluate digestion and immune response.
