At Ananda Integrative Medicine, we believe gut health is the foundation of whole-body wellness. The Vibrant Wellness Gut Zoomer® Stool Test is an advanced, non-invasive test that provides deep insight into your gut microbiome—helping identify imbalances, inflammation, infections (parasite and candida), and food-related triggers that may be affecting your health.
This comprehensive testing is available through in-office visits in Los Angeles and telehealth consultations for eligible patients throughout California, making it easier to access advanced gut health testing from the comfort of home.
This test can evaluate for:
Gut microbiome imbalances
Harmful bacteria and parasites
Yeast and fungal overgrowth (including Candida)
Viral markers
Digestive and immune-related stressors
Optimizing gut health can support digestion, immunity, metabolism, hormone balance, and even mood and cognitive health.
Understanding Gut Health: Why It Matters
Your gut—also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract—is home to trillions of microorganisms called the gut microbiome. These microbes play a vital role in overall health.
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
Supporting gut health is a key step in restoring balance and improving long-term vitality.
What is the Vibrant Wellness Gut Zoomer Stool Test?
The Gut Zoomer® Stool Test is a comprehensive lab test that analyzes the gut microbiome using advanced DNA sequencing technology.
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
Unlike basic stool tests, the Gut Zoomer provides a detailed, functional view of gut health, helping your provider identify root causes—not just symptoms.
