  • Gut microbiome imbalances
  • Harmful bacteria and parasites
  • Yeast and fungal overgrowth (including Candida)
  • Viral markers
  • Digestive and immune-related stressors

A healthy gut microbiome helps:

  • Break down and absorb nutrients
  • Support immune function (about 70% of your immune system lives in the gut)
  • Protect against harmful pathogens
  • Regulate inflammation
  • Support mental health through the gut-brain connection

When the gut microbiome becomes imbalanced (a condition called dysbiosis), it may contribute to:

  • Bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation
  • Food sensitivities or intolerances
  • Fatigue and brain fog
  • Weight changes
  • Anxiety, depression, or mood swings
  • Frequent infections or immune dysfunction

This test evaluates:

  • Beneficial gut bacteria
  • Harmful bacteria (such as Salmonella and C. difficile)
  • Parasites and protozoa
  • Yeast and fungal overgrowth (Candida)
  • Viral markers linked to gut inflammation
