Uncover the hidden root causes behind bloating, fatigue, hormone imbalance, and mystery symptoms—using science-led insights from practitioners you can trust.
The Gut Panel
Do you have any of the following…?
Poor digestion, bloating, gas, heartburn/acid reflux
Loose stools or diarrhea
Constipation or sluggish bowels (going to the bathroom less than 1x a day or hard-to-pass stool)
Multiple food sensitivities and reactions
Conditions like Hashimoto’s, Endometriosis, or PCOS
Other autoimmune disorders (either diagnosed or suspected)
IBS (either diagnosed or suspected)
Skin issues like acne, eczema, psoriasis, or chronic rashes
Hormone imbalance, especially PMS, heavy bleeding with menstrual cycles, tender breasts or fibroids
…then you need to look at your gut!
These are all signs that something bigger is going on with your gut health.
We know that…
✔️ 70-80% of your immune system lives in your gut
✔️ Inflammation in your gut can lead to inflammation anywhere else in your body
✔️ The health of your gut impacts your mental health
In other words…
Gut health affects everything.
The Gut Panel is for you when…
You’ve already cleaned up your diet, tried the protocols, and followed the plans...but still feel off.
You’ve had “normal” test results, yet your symptoms persist, and no one’s connected the dots.
You’re dealing with low energy, mood swings, skin issues, or brain fog that no one is linking to your gut.
You’re on the brink of exploring deeper healing, but want clear, clinical insight before you invest.
You want to stop throwing supplements at symptoms and start making strategic, root-cause decisions.
A recent client shared with us after receiving her Gut Panel:
“I knew there was something going on with me. Once I saw the test results, I can now understand what’s going on in my body. It’s just so clarifying.”

No More Guesswork
on your Gut
If you’ve “already had your gut tested” by a gastroenterologist, but you still have lots of gut symptoms, unresolved IBS, or autoimmune…
It might be time for another test.

Here at The Funk’tional Nutritionist, we practice a holistic, whole-human approach to functional medicine and health. After working with thousands of clients, we know and understand that your root cause may be deeper than one stool test can show.
In our extensive experience, however, we find that The Gut Panel is the best first step in helping you connect the dots between your body and your symptoms. The Gut Panel will give you clarity as it can help uncover what is driving your symptoms and health issues.
This test does not include treatment protocols. It’s designed to provide insight into the root causes of digestive, autoimmune, IBS, or skin symptoms.
If you require more support and guidance, our practitioners can help you develop your next steps and treatment plan in our 1:1 functional nutrition practice.
Gut Healing in Real Life: A Client Story
When this client first came to us, she was struggling daily with digestive issues and mysterious skin reactions. Bloating, stomach aches, diarrhea, and food sensitivities were constant, and she had started losing her hair. After meals, she’d break out in red, blotchy rashes and was relying on Benadryl just to calm the reaction. Zyrtec and Flonase had become part of her everyday routine.
She suspected food was to blame. But when we ran a GI-MAP stool test, the picture became much clearer—and more complex.
Her gut showed signs of low stomach acid, H. pylori, and overgrowths of several opportunistic bacteria, pointing to possible SIBO. Her estrogen detox pathways were sluggish, with elevated beta-glucuronidase, which can worsen histamine-related symptoms like rashes and food reactions. We also saw markers of inflammation and immune activation in response to food—especially gluten—along with high levels of pseudomonas, a strain often associated with gluten sensitivity.
In short, this wasn’t just a food issue. Her gut, hormones, and immune system were all involved.
Over the past six months, we have supported her with targeted antimicrobials, digestive support (such as ACV and bitters), mineral replenishment, and estrogen detoxification tools, including castor oil packs, calcium D-glucarate, and quercetin-rich foods. She trialed a gluten-free diet, cut back on alcohol, and began caring for her body in a whole new way.
The results were undeniable.
Within the first month, she barely needed Benadryl anymore. By month two, her skin was clearer, her digestion more stable, and her hair loss had slowed. By month three, she told us she was using fewer allergy supports than she had in eight years.
We’re now in month seven and still working together, but the transformation so far speaks volumes.
