Survey Says …..
Gut issues are becoming increasingly prevalent. Statistics show that IBS alone effects more than 1 out of every 100 individuals. This number does not account for inflammatory bowel disease, general digestive discomfort or parasitic infection. It is extremely rare for a GI MAP stool test to come back clean. Factors such as an inflammatory diet, high stress and exposure to toxins are contributors to the digestion dysfunction experienced by millions today. Many people suffer from leaky gut. This is when the link between the cells in your gut wall break apart. Leaky creates gaps that allow parasites, undigested food particles and environmental toxins to enter into general circulation throughout the body leading to a series of problematic health concerns.
Our Secret Sauce
#1: Determine the cause of your Leaky gut
The DNA technology used for stool testing is able to reveal your hidden gut infections. Plus, SIBO breath testing, food intolerance testing and Lyme testing can determine other causes of gut distress.
#2: Balance Minerals & Clear Out Heavy Metals
Gut infections like worms & candida thrive off of heavy metals like mercury. Copper toxicity also creates an environment ripe for chronic infections.
#3: Support HPA Axis & Balance Hormones
Building up the adrenal glands and rebalancing your hormones supports your body’s capacity to clear gut infections.

Our Signature Lab Tests
The GI Map
The GI Map uses DNA- based technology called PCR technology that is thousands of times more sensitive than conventional because it can identify the entire microbiota. It can also determine the severity of your infections. Using this test, practitioners are now able to find infections that they have been missing out on for decades.
In conventional medicine, stool culturing remains the main technology despite the slow shift being made towards PCR technology. Stool cultures involves taking a swab of the stool and putting it in a petri dish and seeing what grows, and looking at the sample under a microscope to see if ova (eggs) and parasites can be seen.
This means A LOT of false negatives because…
– a lot of things cannot grow in a petri dish
– the pathogens need to be alive in your stool
The infectious portion of this test looks for:
- Bacterial infections – such as c. difficile & e. coli
- Parasitic & protozoan infections – like giardiasis
- Viral infections – like norovirus and Epstein Barr
- H Pylori (this test also determines virulence factors/pathogenicity)
- Worms
- Fungi & yeast Infections
(total of 44 different markers)
The functional portion of the lab test examines:
- Levels of healthy and opportunistic bacteria
- GI immune system health
- Inflammation
- Gluten sensitivity
- Enzyme levels
(total of 35 different markers)
The Dutch
The DUTCH test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) determines your free and total cortisol levels, which is an indication of how much of this hormone is actually available for use. You need to know your free cortisol levels in order to understand how much of your cortisol is actually available to your cells. Knowing your total cortisol level means nothing if 99% is not available for use by your cells. The DUTCH test also provides information about how the body is breaking down hormones (hormone metabolite level)including three different estrogen metabolites. This is important because it lets you know whether estrogen is being detoxed down cancer-causing pathways. The DUTCH test also gives us a window into your methylation status, letting us know whether your body can actually get rid of the estrogen it produces.
Conventional blood testing for hormones provides you with the basic levels for the sex hormones of estradiol (E2; a type of estrogen), progesterone and testosterone. However, blood testing is unable to provide information about your cortisol rhythm, the levels all types of estrogens or how your hormones are being broken down.
This test provides key information including:
- Sex hormone levels: estrogen, testosterone and progesterone
- Estrogen & testosterone detoxification pathways
- Whether estrogen is being detoxified down cancer-causing pathways
- Whether estrogen dominance is an issue
- Degree of oxidative stress
- Glutathione levels, which is the body’s master antioxidant
- Your cortisol pattern, which will indicate whether your cortisol is higher than normal on a regular basis and impacting your hormone production
- Whether your body is in an anabolic (building up) or catabolic state (breaking down). This will impact your body’s ability to lose weight and build muscle mass.
Hair & Minerals Analysis
Hair, Tissue and Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is an essential component of understanding your health picture. This test provides valuable information about patterns of mineral imbalances that can inform the pathway to re-energizing your body. HTMAs reveal whether you have copper toxicity, mercury exposure, dehydration at a cellular level, or a calcium shell that leads to emotional numbness. This test will also provide key indicators about adrenal health, thyroid health, infections, blood sugar imbalances and metabolic health.
Instead of viewing each mineral in isolation, the interpretation of your hair and mineral results relies on the understanding that minerals are a complex, interrelated system. The healing protocols require a unique understanding of mineral patterns. Once your body’s minerals begin to rebalance, you enter into a state of optimal healing and often naturally let go of unwanted heavy metals and toxins.
