Why Does Gut Health Matter?

Beyond Digestion

The gut influences much more than digestion. Research continues to demonstrate connections between gut health and immune function, metabolism, nutrient absorption, inflammation, mood, and overall wellness.

The gut plays a role in:

Immune Function
Nutrient Absorption
Hormone Balance
Inflammation Regulation
Mood & Brain Health
Metabolic Health

Common Sings of Gut Dysfunction:

Bloating
Constipation
Food Sensitivities
Skin Problems
Autoimmune Conditions
Reflux
Diarrhea
Gas
Brain Fog

What Does the GI-MAP Measure?

The GI-MAP is an advanced stool test that uses DNA technology to evaluate organisms and markers within the digestive tract.

The GI-MAP Evaluates:

Microbiome Balance

Beneficial bacteria that support digestion, immunity, and overall health

Opportunistic Bacteria

Organisms that may contribute to digestive symptoms and inflammation when present in excess

Parasites

Common intestinal parasites that may affect digestion and nutrient absorption

Yeast & Fungal Organisms

Including Candida species and other fungal overgrowth.

H. pylori

A bacteria associated with reflux, gastritis, ulcers, and digestive discomfort

Digestive Function

Markers that evaluate digestive efficiency and nutrient breakdown

Inflammation

Markers that may indicate irritation or inflammation within the digestive tract

Immune Function

Marks that help assess gut-associated immune activity

Simple Test, Valuable Insights

Simple, Convenient, and Done From Home

The GI-MAP is a convenient at-home stool test. A collection kit is shipped directly to your home with clear, step-by-step instructions. After collecting your sample, simply place it in the prepaid packaging and mail it back to the laboratory. We will review the lab results together and discuss how the findings may relate to your symptoms.

The GI-MAP is not the entire picture of health - but it can provide a valuable glimpse into the landscape of your gut, revealing opportunities for personalized and actionable planning.

Why is GI-MAP Different?

Unlike many traditional digestive evaluations, the GI-MAP uses advanced PCR (DNA) technology to identify and measure organisms and markers within the digestive tract. This level of testing is not commonly offered in conventional medical settings and may provide insights that otherwise go unexplored.
