HOW IT WORKS:
Your test kit(s) will be shipped directly to your home. You will take the test(s) at your convenience and mail the sample(s) to the lab. (Shipping return labels are included.) Labs results take 14-25 days to process once the lab receives the sample. Once your results are in, we will schedule your call with the functional medicine doctor to review your test results in detail and create a custom protocol for you.
GI-MAP TEST:
The GI-Map stool test by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory uses advanced DNA probing technology to help give you the most accurate results. Traditional stool testing methods allow viruses and bacteria to die before being tested resulting in poor accuracy.
Knowing the health of your gut microbiome (good bacteria) is critical since imbalances can cause many long-term gut issues. The GI Map is perfect for understanding normal gut flora.
One of the most useful features of the GI-Map stool tests is the ability to test pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria in your gut and test their genes to determine if they are resistant to certain antibiotics. Knowing this can help you and your doctor choose the right antibiotic if necessary.
ADRENOCORTEX TEST:
The Adrenocortex Stress Profile (ASP) provides an assessment of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis using carefully timed salivary samples of the hormones cortisol and DHEA. Salivary testing is an easy, non-invasive option to measure unbound, biologically active parent hormone levels. The report offers an easy-to-interpret graphic which plots the results of the natural diurnal rhythm.
