About Gut Health Analysis

A healthy gut is essential for a strong immune system and overall well-being. Each year, 62 million Americans are diagnosed with a digestive disorder. Today, our guts are bombarded by environmental toxins (ie: harsh pesticides, heavy metals, spike proteins, etc…) that have infiltrated our food and water supply. As a result, chronic GI-related issues such as IBS, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac, Chrohn’s, Diverticulitis, and more, have never been worse. Beyond that, GI-related conditions have a systemic effect that can impact our mental health, autoimmune conditions, and much more.

We offer specialized gut flora testing for:

Those who want to proactively maintain a healthy gut to stave off disease
Patients actively experiencing GI conditions related to imbalanced gut flora
Those actively experiencing non-Gi conditions, who want to explore the possibility of an imbalanced gut flora as a root cause

Testing and Treatment

Precision gut health testing is conducted via stool tests. Our lab orders are conducted through RUPA, who sends a kit in the mail to the home of our patients. Patients follow RUPA’s testing directions for stopping certain medications (discuss with provider), obtaining samples, and return mailing for sample analysis. The result interpretations guide the treatment plans that patients undergo to restore balance of gut flora, and alleviate symptoms and conditions experienced due to any imbalances. Plans are customized to the individuals needs.

Program Information

After registering for treatment, patients are contacted by our office staff, who triage patients based upon a description of their needs. In this case, patients would be identified for Gut Health Analysis, pay the fee for the initial appointments, and then be sent an email from RUPA for ordering the testing. Once patients put their testing samples in the return mail to the lab, they should contact the office staff again to schedule their initial hour long consult. In addition to an hour long consult, patients will also have a 30 minute followup to be used at some time in the future (based upon an agreed upon timeline with the provider) to determine how treatment is working.

Future testing may be ordered. After these initial two appointments, patients may continue to follow up with the provider, paying for appointment on an as-needed basis
