Functional Lab Testing
Comprehensive Stool Analysis
with Parasitology
Your gut drives your energy, your hormones, your mood and your metabolism. When it’s off, everything downstream is off. This panel shows exactly what’s living in there, how well you’re digesting, and what your body is reacting to.

Worth Testing If
When the gut is the root cause
Imbalances in gastrointestinal function cause both local and whole-body symptoms. Most people treat the symptom for years without ever seeing the mechanism.
- Bloating, gas and reflux that's become normal
- Constipation, loose stools, or swinging between both
- A food list that keeps getting shorter
- Recurring yeast or urinary infections
- Fatigue that no amount of clean eating fixes
- Skin flares, rosacea or eczema
- Anxiety, low mood or brain fog
- Stubborn weight and relentless sugar cravings
What It Measures
Six layers of gut intelligence
Gold-standard methods including PCR, culture and susceptibility testing — so the protocol that follows is built on data, not guesswork.
Digestion & Absorption
Are you actually breaking down and absorbing your food, or just passing it through?
Intestinal Function
Markers of inflammation, immune activity and gut barrier integrity.
Bacteriology Culture
A full picture of beneficial, imbalanced and frankly dysbiotic flora.
Yeast Culture
Identifies yeast overgrowth by species — not just a yes or no.
Pathogens & Parasites
PCR detection of infectious organisms most standard testing misses.
Susceptibility Testing
Prescriptive and natural agents tested against your organisms.
That last one is the difference-maker. Most gut protocols are educated guesses. Susceptibility testing means yours is matched to what’s actually growing — so you stop cycling through supplements that were never going to work.
