Overwhelmingly, research indicates that gut health impacts overall health. The gut microbiome, in particular, plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet and other factors on health, including digestive, immune, metabolic and neuroendocrine functions. Assessing GI health with the proper tools can help practitioners get to the root cause of chronic illness. The GI-MAP (Microbial Assay Plus) is unique in the field of comprehensive stool testing. It relies exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more, by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested.

Genova Diagnostics is a global specialty clinical laboratory, pioneering a systems approach that supports healthcare providers in the personalized treatment and prevention of chronic disease. Genova provides a diverse array of specialized testing including saliva, blood and urine hormone testing; stool testing to evaluate gastrointestinal disorders; food sensitivity testing; genetic SNP testing; urine testing for leaky gut; breath testing for SIBO; and blood and urine for heavy metals and other environmental toxicity.

RealTime Lab’s mycotoxin test panel is the most comprehensive available, testing for the presence of 15 of the most common and toxic mycotoxins produced by indoor mold contaminants. RealTime Lab is accredited in the U.S. by CAP and CLIA to perform clinical mycotoxin testing.

With genetic saliva testing, you can now detect how you might be more susceptible to disease due to genetic variations (SNPs) that alter your metabolism via variations in enzyme function. Enzymes are critical components of your health and variations in how you produce these enzymes can alter your health. When in balance, these enzymes may help you look and feel younger and remain healthy and vibrant as you age. Your Genomic Resource DNA test can help you take a preventive and proactive step toward your health. With the raw data from Your Genomic Resource test, we are able to utilize proprietary Functional Genomic Analysis software, the most comprehensive software in the industry, to analyze your DNA alongside your symptom survey and lab tests to help alter the way your genes are expressed. This is also called “bio-hacking”, using science and technology to make your body function better and more efficiently
