Once you complete the online Intake Form that you will receive when you checkout, a lab requisition will be made for you and will be on file at any LabCorp. Depending on the LabCorp location, you may need to schedule an appointment for blood work.

Yes. You will need to fast for at least 8-10 hours.

No. These are specialized labs. Your insurance company will require additional.payment if these labs were ordered through them, and the price would be much higher.

It will take approximately 2 weeks for me to get all the lab work back. You can schedule with me any time, once you schedule your lab work.

This will depend on what is discovered and how you plan to proceed with treatment. As a general rule, if you do nothing different, you should retest at least every 6 months.

No, I cannot prescribe on this plan, but you are welcome to upgrade and a prescriptive plan can be make for you if indicated and desired.

Food allergies trigger an immediate immune response (often IgE) and can be life-threatening. Intolerances are non-immune responses--like lactose intolerance. Sensitivities (usually IgA or IgG), are delayed immune responses that cause chronic inflammation, fatigue, bloating, headaches, joint pain, skin issues, and more---often hours or even days later.

Conventional medicine typically only tests for food allergies (IgE), not sensitivities. Most standard doctors aren't trained in how delayed immune reactions show up, and frankly--they're often dismissed as "not real." But your symptoms are real. And they often have food at the root.

Some are better than others. Not all tests are created equal. That's why we use only highly validated clinically useful labs and interpret them in the full context of your health history--not in a vacuum. Food sensitivity tests are just one tool in a larger toolbox.

Great question. If your gut is leaky (increased intestinal permeability), even normally healthy foods can slip through the gut barrier and trigger immune responses. The good news? These are often temporary and reversible with the right gut healing protocol.

Nope. This isn't about living on air and ice cubes. The goal is to remove the most inflammatory offenders temporarily while we heal the gut and immune system--so you can reintroduce many foods safely down the road.

Yes. Chronic low-grade inflammation from food sensitivities can disrupt hormones like insulin and cortisol, increase water retention, and effect your metabolism and cravings.

Unlike food allergies, sensitivities can cause delayed symptoms--anywhere from 2 to 72 hour later. This makes them very hard to identify without testing or tracking.

The GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is a comprehensive DNA-based stool test that analyzes your gut microbiome, digestive function, immune response, and the presence of pathogens, parasites, and inflammation. It's like Google Maps for your gut—with turn-by-turn directions for healing.

Conventional stool tests are often outdated, culture-based, and miss low-level infections or imbalances. The GI-MAP uses qPCR (DNA technology), making it far more sensitive and accurate in detecting hidden infections, dysbiosis, and root causes of chronic symptoms..

Bloating, constipation, or diarrhea

Brain fog, fatigue, or mood swings

Autoimmune issues

Skin problems (like eczema or acne)

Hormone imbalances or thyroid issues

Food sensitivities
…this test can help uncover the underlying gut dysfunction that may be driving your symptoms.

Yes! You can have a “silent” gut problem. Many people with fatigue, anxiety, joint pain, thyroid issues, or hormone imbalances actually have gut imbalances—without obvious bloating or digestive distress. Your gut affects your entire body.

Let’s be real—it's poop. But the kit is easy to use, has clear instructions, and everything is sealed and sent directly to the lab. Most clients say it's less icky than they imagined. And the insights are 100% worth the ick.

Bacterial overgrowths

Yeast and candida

Parasites (including ones conventional tests miss)

Inflammation markers

Leaky gut

Immune health (sIgA)

Pancreatic enzyme output

Gluten reactivity

And much more

Extremely. The GI-MAP uses qPCR technology—the same method used in forensic science and viral detection (like COVID tests). It detects even small amounts of DNA from pathogens, making it far more accurate than standard stool cultures.

Some antimicrobials, antibiotics, or probiotics may need to be paused before testing for the most accurate results. We’ll give you clear guidance based on what you're currently taking.

Absolutely. You won’t just get a long list of bugs—we’ll create a step-by-step action plan tailored to your unique gut terrain. That includes targeted supplements, diet changes, and healing strategies.

Once the lab receives your sample, it usually takes 10–14 business days. You’ll then meet with us to review your results and map out your personalized gut-healing protocol.

LYes, upon request, we can provide you a superbill with diagnostic codes so you can try to seek reimbursement. However, we make no guarantees that your insurance company will reimburse you.
