“Functional testing for the answers and validation of the symptoms you have been feeling”
What is functional testing?
Functional diagnostic testing such as the GI Map or DUTCH Complete Hormone test allow us to dig deeper and find the root cause of your Gut or Hormonal Imbalances. Diagnostic labs remove a lot of the “trial and error” and guesswork when creating a functional nutrition plan and provide many answers/ validation of your symptoms.
GI Map from Diagnostic Solutions
The GI Map is a comprehensive stool test that tests for various pathogens, H. Pylori, Candida, Parasites, dysbiosis, leaky gut, and intestinal health markers. This test gives me a detailed picture of not only pathogens/ dysbiosis in your gut but also your intestinal markers and how well your digestion is working.
When you get a stool test done at the doctor, they only test for 2-3 organisms, here is a GI Map Sample Report from Diagnostic Solutions with the various markers they test for.

The DUTCH Complete test is a dried urine test that tests sex hormones and their metabolites as well as cortisol patterns. The DUTCH test also provides insights into nutritional deficiencies, oxidative stress, gut dysbiosis, melatonin, neuroinflammation and more. Sample report:
