At Cambiati Wellness, we offer gut microbiome testing to help people understand the role their gut bacteria play in their overall health. This type of testing can provide a wealth of information about how to improve your health and well-being.
What is Gut Microbiome Testing?
Gut microbiome testing is a type of laboratory testing that looks at the bacteria, fungi, and other microscopic organisms in your gastrointestinal tract. This testing is done by collecting a sample of your stool and then analyzing the microbes in that sample.
Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP) is the type of gut microbiome testing we use here at Cambiati Wellness. GI-MAP tests for over 100 different species of bacteria, yeast, parasites, and viruses in your stool sample to provide a comprehensive look at the state of your gut health.
GI Map is a DNA test that gives you a full picture of the bacteria in your gut. Having too much or too little of either the good or bad bacteria can cause problems with our overall health. That’s why it’s important to keep an eye on our gut health.
Who is Gut Microbiome Testing for?
Gut microbiome testing is for anyone who wants to get a better understanding of their gut health, as well as those who may be experiencing digestive issues such as:
- Constipation
- Brain fog
- Joint pain
- Fatigue
- Skin problems
- Weight gain/loss
- Depression and anxiety
- Food allergies or sensitivities
- Autoimmune diseases
GI-MAP can help you identify any imbalances in your gut microbiome that may be causing these issues so you can work with your healthcare provider to address them.
What Are the Benefits of Gut Microbiome Testing?
Gut microbiome testing is beneficial for a variety of reasons. Here are some of the top benefits:
- Improved Digestion & Absorption: Gut microbiome testing can help identify imbalances or deficiencies in the gut that may be causing digestive issues, like bloating and constipation.
- Increased Immunity: An imbalance in the gut microbiome can lead to a weakened immune system and an increased risk of infection. Gut microbiome testing can provide insight into how well your body can protect itself from infection.
- Improved Mental Health: Gut microbiome testing can also help identify gut imbalances that could contribute to mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
- Better Overall Well-being: A healthy gut microbiome is essential for overall well-being, as it impacts many systems in your body, including the immune system, digestion, and mental health.
