Gut Health

Gut health is the foundation of your overall wellness—impacting digestion, immunity, mood, skin, and even hormone balance. When things feel off, it's often the gut that's at the root. The GI-MAP stool test is a comprehensive stool test that uses advanced DNA technology to assess your gut microbiome. It measures levels of beneficial bacteria, pathogens, parasites, viruses, yeast, digestive markers, and signs of inflammation or leaky gut—offering real answers to chronic symptoms.
