FUNCTIONAL LAB OPTIONS
GI-MAP | GI Microbial Assay Plus
The GI-MAP is an innovative clinical tool that measures gastrointestinal microbiota DNA from a single stool sample with state of the art, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology.
The GI-MAP was 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 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.
Almost anyone can benefit from a GI-MAP gut health assessment. Some individuals are looking to achieve optimal health, while others have been chronically ill and frustrated 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

BLOATING?
GAS?
CONSTIPATION?
DIARRHEA?
Finally get the answers you deserve from the comfort of your own home with the trio-smart breath test. Trio-smart is the only clinical breath test that measures the levels of hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide to provide you with a more complete picture of gut health.
THE ANSWER COULD BE IN YOUR BREATH
A breath test can help you determine if your symptoms are caused by treatable conditions like small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
Trio-smart is the only three-gas breath test that measures all of the primary fermented gases in your gut: hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide.
Plans can be personalized for you by determining which of the three gases are elevated in your breath, so you can finally start feeling better.
MRT - MEDIATOR RELEASE TEST
MRT is the Most Complete Blood Test for Sensitivities
Is your food making you sick?
MRT quantifies the inflammatory response to food & food-chemicals.
Not only does MRT give insight into inflammation provoking foods and food-chemicals, but more importantly MRT identifies your BEST foods.
93.6% split sample reproducibility
The single common feature of all diet-induced inflammatory reactions is that they ultimately cause mediator release (cytokines, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, etc.) from various white blood cells (neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, lymphocytes). This is true whether reactions are immediate or delayed, whether dose dependent or not, whether governed by the innate or adaptive immune systems, whether cell-mediated or humorally-mediated, and whether inflammation remains at a sub-clinical level or becomes clinically symptom-provoking. All food-induced inflammatory reactions involve mediator release, which is the single most important event leading to all the negative effects your patients suffer, including symptom generation.
