What is a GI MAP?
Research overwhelmingly indicates that gut health impacts overall health. The gut microbiome, in particular, plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet and other factors on health, including digestive, immune, metabolic and neuroendocrine functions. Assessing GI health with the proper tools can help practitioners get to the root cause of chronic illness.
The GI-MAP (Microbial Assay Plus) is unique in the field of comprehensive stool testing. It relies exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more, by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested.
Who should get a GI MAP?
Almost everyone can benefit from a GI-MAP gut health assessment. Some people are looking to achieve optimal health, while others have been chronically ill and frustrated without a diagnosis for years.
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
Diabetes and weight loss issues
Cost
Cost of a GI-MAP is $389. This includes the laboratory cost, and all consults with me. I create a protocol that includes supplements and essential oil to address the issues found on the report. This plan usually takes 6 months (sometimes shorter, sometimes longer).
Medicare can be used to pay for the test, and HSA accounts can also be used. If neither of these is available, I will invoice you directly.
