Digestion is the top healing priority of the body. You are what you digest and ABSORB. What you absorb depends on a healthy digestive tract.

Without the integrity of the digestive system, the body cannot support the other foundations of health.

A GI MAP stool test looks all aspects of your digestion

•how well you are breaking down your foods

(You can eat the best diet in the world, but are you absorbing all of the nutrients?)

•pancreatic function (how well you break down protein, carbs, fats)

•gallbladder function (how well you break down fat)

•inflammation marker

•immune function (80% of the immune system is in the gut!)

•If you have any pathogens (bacteria, HPylori, viruses, yeast, Candida, parasites, bacterial overgrowth)

•If you are making gluten antibodies in the gut

•how well you are detoxing hormones (estrogen) and environmental toxins, plus so much more. This is important for hormone balance.

Most people don’t realize the impact the health of the gut has on the body and it shows differently in everyone (digestive issues, weight loss resistance, joint pain, bloat, constipation, acne, hormonal imbalances, migraines, anxiety, mood) Sometimes you have ZERO symptoms but still need some gut healing or to improve overall digestion.

Things like antibiotics, poor diet, alcohol, stress, toxins, mold, pesticides can all take a toll on the gut.

Blood can be seen as the window into the body

There are two main types of ranges in the field of blood chemistry.

A pathological range and a functional range. The pathological range is used to diagnose disease. The sicker the population gets the wider the lab reference ranges become. Most health care providers believe that care should only be provided when disease is present. If pathology or disease is not present according to the labs, the person is considered “healthy” and labs are considered ‘normal.” This is why a lot of people are told their blood work is normal but they still feel terrible.

The functional range is much more narrow (this is what I use) and it is used to assess risk BEFORE a disease develops. I’m looking for imbalances, deficiencies, and asking WHY is something out of balance and causing symptoms. I view the body as a WHOLE.

Example markers:

Full thyroid panel including antibodies (TSH, T3, T4, T3 uptake, Reverse T3, FTI)

Full iron panel (TIBC, UIBC, IRON, FERRITIN)

Immune system

Liver (AST, ALT, ALK PHOS, GGT, LDH)

Lipid Panel

Fasted glucose and insulin

Inflammation markers (HsCRP, Homocysteine, ESR)

Uric acid

Vitamin D

Electrolytes

Urinalysis

NutrEval is both a blood and urine profile that evaluates over 125 biomarkers and assesses the body's functional need for 40 antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, digestive support, and other select nutrients.

This test measures how strongly your immune system reacts to 140 different foods and 30 different chemicals. This is the one and only food sensitivity test I can trust. This can help you understand even the most mysterious food sensitivities. You can be eating a healthy diet, but if you’re eating foods you’re uniquely sensitive to, you won’t get very far. Removing these sensitivities is an essential step in healing your gut and reversing possible autoimmunity as reducing the cause of inflammation allows your gut lining to heal. And it isn’t enough to simply KNOW your sensitivities, the magic happens when you have the correct blueprint and system that shows you how to actually use the findings to get RESULTS.

Every day, we are exposed to hundreds of toxic chemicals through products like pharmaceuticals, pesticides, packaged foods, household products, and environmental pollution.

This urine test screens for 39 of the most inflammatory environmental toxins, 31 mycotoxins (from mold) and 20 of the most common heavy metals.

This is a urine test that offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with 76 markers. It provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast (mold & candida) and bacteria. It also includes markers for vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter levels, and is the only OAT to include markers for oxalates, which are highly correlated with many chronic illnesses. High levels of intestinal yeast or bacteria can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine. The cause of these high levels could include oral antibiotic use, high sugar diets, immune deficiencies, acquired infections, as well as genetic factors.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) as the name simply suggests, is the overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract normally contains many different species of bacteria and other micro-organisms (collectively known as the gut microbiome), with the largest numbers of bacteria found in the colon (end part of the large intestine) and lower amounts in the small intestine.
