GI-Map Stool Test
Research continues to tell us that gut health impacts our overall health.
As a natural health practitioner, we're always looking to identify the root causes to your symptoms or disease. So being able to assess the gut and its microbiome effectively is such a powerful tool to uncover the key to your health, especially when it comes to digestive issues.
The GI-MAP test is one of the first comprehensive stool analysis to include an FDA-approved DNA/PCR assay for gut pathogens performed on stool.
It gives us an insight into what's happening inside your
gastrointestinal system.
The test focuses on specific microbes that tend to disturb the normal
balance of your microbiome which can cause digestive problems as well as other chronic health conditions.
