My unique approach combines two powerful tests; the GI-MAP and the MRT Food and Chemical Sensitivity Test. These tests give us a clear blueprint of what’s happening inside the digestive system as well as what foods and chemicals are causing inflammation in the body, which leads to unwanted or unexplained systems such as IBS, joint pain, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, heartburn, Fibromyalgia, headaches, skin issues, weight gain, etc.

How do these tests work?

GI-MAP DNA Stool Analysis:

-This test evaluates specific microbes that could be disrupting your digestive system leading to digestive issues, other unwanted symptoms and/or chronic health conditions.

-It’s a 1 sample stool test that is done in the comfort of your own home.

-After your sample is complete, you will ship it back to the lab for evaluation and in about 2-3 weeks, the lab will send me your test results.

-Based on those results, I will develop a customized protocol specifically tailored to you, to help bring the body and your digestive system back into balance.

-This is a very comprehensive test and evaluates various markers like Bacterial, Parasitic and Viral Pathogens, H.pylori, Normal/Beneficial Bacteria, Dysbiotic/Overgrowth Bacteria, Fungi/Yeast, Viruses, Parasites like Protozoa and Worms as well as Intestinal Health markers such as fat digestion, enzyme output, the strength of the immune system, sensitivity to gluten and intestinal inflammation.

MRT Food and Chemical Sensitivity Test:

-This test evaluates 170 different foods and chemicals to determine which ones are causing inflammation in the body.

-This is a blood test in which you will need to visit a local lab to get your blood drawn.

-After your blood draw, your test kit must be shipped back to the MRT lab on the same day to make sure your blood stays viable.

-Once the lab receives your sample, the lab will send me your results within about 1 week.

-Based on those results, I will develop a customized protocol for you to help reduce inflammation, reduce or eliminate your unwanted symptoms and help bring the body back into balance.

-This test does require a period of food elimination based on your results, but I will help you come up with alternative options to replace your favorite eliminated foods. 😊

-This test is different from many other food sensitivity tests on the market because it tests for chemicals in addition to food. Also, you do NOT have to actively be eating the foods/chemicals on the test, in order for them to show up as reactive.

If we combine both the GI-MAP and MRT tests together, we have the best recipe for ultimate health and healing to bring the body back into balance. As an experienced Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner in the Salem area, I can use these tests to correct digestive issues, support other chronic health conditions like autoimmunity, increase energy and reduce or eliminate uncomfortable and unexplained symptoms.

Both of these tests are included in my Digestive Reset Program. Even though I practice in the Salem area, all of this work can be done virtually, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you aren’t local. If you are really suffering and can’t seem to get better despite your many efforts or if you have seen multiple practitioners and no one has answers as to what’s going on, let me help you break-free from these symptoms and FINALLY feel better!! 😊
