The Four Functional Pillars of Gut Health

Our testing approach is built around four clinically actionable categories, known as the Four Functional Pillars:

• Infection
• Inflammation
• Insufficiency
• Imbalance

Each pillar is evaluated using a proprietary algorithm that analyzes key biomarkers and assigns a score of high, medium, or low based on clinical impact. These scores are visually represented with color-coded icons and graphics for easy interpretation.

We begin by asking: What is growing in your gastrointestinal tract? This includes:

• Fungus, yeast, or candida
• Harmful bacteria
• Parasites
• Pathogens
• Protective organisms

Without intervention, gut bacteria can deteriorate the intestinal lining, leading to leaky gut syndrome. This allows bacteria and biofilms to breach the gut barrier and affect other systems like the brain and arteries, potentially causing:

• Brain fog
• Memory issues
• Allergies
• Fatigue
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
• Skin sensitivity or rashes
• Chemical sensitivities
• Increased autoimmune risk

Comprehensive Testing for Gut and Microbiome Health

We use advanced lab testing to detect defects in the microbiome and assess:

• Digestive function
• Gut immunity
• Inflammation
• Blood presence
• Leaky gut indicators

Our goal is to help you balance your microbiome by:

• Eliminating overgrowth of bacteria, yeast, candida, and parasites
• Improving digestion
• Reducing inflammation
• Promoting healthy growth in the intestinal lining
• Sealing the gut barrier
• Strengthening immune function

This process leads to total gut restoration and reduced disease risk. Call us at 901-763-7006 to schedule your comprehensive GI lab test and uncover the root causes of your symptoms.

GI Effects Stool Profiles: A Deeper Look

The GI Effects Stool Profiles are advanced diagnostic tools that provide actionable insights into:

• Digestive efficiency
• Intestinal inflammation
• Microbiome composition

These tests use cutting-edge biomarkers and technologies to help identify the root causes of both gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms. Research has linked an imbalanced gut microbiome (dysbiosis) to a wide range of conditions, including:

Gastrointestinal Symptoms

• Gas
• Bloating
• Indigestion or reflux
• Abdominal pain or cramping
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• IBS [3,4]
• IBD [1,2]

Non-Gastrointestinal Conditions

• Atopic dermatitis and eczema [5,6]
• Allergies [5]
• Autoimmune diseases [7,8]
• Mood disorders such as depression [9,10]
• Joint pain [11,12]
• Diabetes [13,14,15]
• Weight management issues [15,16,17,18]

The gut and its microbes are deeply interconnected with the rest of the body. Their metabolic activity influences your health, and your lifestyle, diet, and environment influence them in return [19,20,21].
