Gut Health and GI Test Kits

Please note recent changes in U.S. Customs may delay your test results. If your sample is rejected due to a delay, we’ll send a free replacement kit and cover shipping at no extra cost to you.

You will receive a personalised, written report from our Functional Medicine practitioner, Despina Giannopoulou, based on your test results. 

She will review the results and provide interpretation along with a recommended treatment plan.  Follow-up calls to discuss your results and treatment in more depth can be arranged directly with Despina.

Despina Giannopoulou is a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner as well as holding a Masters in Personalised Nutrition from CNELM, a clinical naturopathic nutrition diploma from CNM, a Bulletproof Human Potential Coaching Certification, a Bachelors in Computer Science and an MBA.

Indications:

Research overwhelmingly 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 on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria (including Helicobacter Pylori), fungi & viruses by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested.

Additionally, the screen includes the chemistry markers, Steatocrit, Pancreatic Elastase, β-Glucuronidase, Occult blood (faecal immunochemical test – FIT), Secretory IgA, Anti-gliadin IgA, Eosinophil Activation Protein, Calprotectin & Zonulin
