GI-MAP TEST + Consultation

You don't have to live with gut issues!

Using the GI-MAP™ test and a tailored protocol, together we can find the underlying cause of your digestive problems or those who struggle with autoimmunity, chronic digestive distress, inflammation, skin conditions, mood and hormonal issues. This has been a game changer for us in our health journey and we are excited to offer it to our clients as well! A healthy gut is crucial for a strong immune system, healthy brain, healthy heart, improved mood, healthy sleep, weight management, and effective digestion. It may even help prevent some cancers and autoimmune diseases. You’re in the right place if you’re dealing with:

✓ Bloating, diarrhea, constipation, food sensitivities, eczema, psoriasis, an autoimmune condition, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, or depression

✓ You’ve been searching for solutions on your own or with your doctor, but nothing seems to work

What is the GI-MAP comprehensive stool analysis test?

This cutting-edge test uses a sample of your stool to analyze the state of your GI tract by detecting the harmful versus healthy bacteria balance, as well as identifies any harmful pathogens, infections, parasites, and active viruses. It also provides information about:

Your overall immune function
Stress response related to the gut
The presence of pathogens like H. pylori and E. coli
How you absorb nutrients
How effectively do you digest food
The presence of gut inflammation

Your gut is a microbiome — it contains trillions of microorganisms that are crucial to your overall health and wellness. Issues with the microbiome can create problems with your health. An unhealthy gut not only causes stomach issues like cramping, bloating, and pain, as well as lead to issues like itchy skin, overwhelming fatigue, and mood swings.

How do I take the GI-MAP test?

The testing is straightforward, and you can do it conveniently in your home. The test comes in the form of a kit you can get from Pura Vida Integrative Health or through the mail, and it contains all of the instructions to perform the test at home properly.

There's a sterile specimen cup located in the kit. The instructions walk you through collecting a stool sample in the cup and properly sending it to the lab.

You should have results within 10 days. You can then make a follow-up appointment with Pura Vida Integrative Health to discuss the results.
