This blood and urine test is one of the most comprehensive nutritional profiles available assessing a broad array of macronutrients and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). It also assesses markers that give an insight into digestive function, toxic exposure, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress. Proper nutrition is key to preventing a number of diseases. Nutrients are necessary to feed every cell and ensure all body systems are functioning properly. Testing can help us gain an understanding of how nutritional imbalances may be impacting your health. Certain conditions or dietary, genetic, and lifestyle factors may predispose a person to having nutrient imbalances.

Almost everyone can benefit from a GI-MAP gut health assessment. Some clients are looking to achieve optimal health, while others have digestive symptoms or have been feeling ill and frustrated without a diagnosis. The GI-MAP is designed to detect microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance or contributing to illness, as well as indicators of digestion, absorption, inflammation, and immune function.

The results from this test provide actionable feedback that is used to personalize your gut health protocol.

Some conditions that warrant testing are:

• Autoimmune diseases
• IBS/IBD
• Digestive complaints, diarrhea, or constipation
• Brain fog
• Skin problems, like acne and psoriasis
• Mood disorders, depression, and anxiety
• Weight loss issues

Unlike food allergy where allergic reactions occur immediately after exposing to food allergens, food sensitives refer to the body’s adverse reaction to specific chemical or food antibodies (IgG) that may take hours or days before a symptom occurs. Food sensitivity may cause negative physiological effects inside the body, including gastrointestinal bloating, nausea, headache, mood changes, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and eczema.

The food sensitivity test is a finger prick blood test. It measures the body’s IgA and IgG response tot 96 commonly consume foods antigens via specific antibody-to-antigen recognition. Results from this test can help us determine which food you are reacting to and therefore customizing an elimination nutrition plan. Removing foods your body has produced antibodies to will lessen your immune response and improve or eliminate symptoms.
