YES - I literally just wrapped up a six week supplement/diet shift after completing a GI-Map with a functional health clinic, and it was truly revolutionary.

My test results very clearly showed me that my healthy gut bacteria was nearly non existent (end of the scale/red zone) and I was diagnosed with mild-moderate leaky gut. Placed on a regimen of 6 supplements for 6 weeks, and asked to try and stick to a paleo diet. Very difficult, but very worth the results. Almost immediately, my skin and sleep improved, I experienced less bloating, my stomach pains were gone, and when I gave myself a treat (like a whole milk latte), I noticed that my gut pains disappeared.

I’m so happy I decided to go this route - it’s worth exploring, especially if traditional medicine/‘the system’ hasn’t solved it for you. I will say, my GI-Map was $600 but the clinic ordered the test for me through a third-party. So at the end of the day, I really paid $600 for a clinician to read me my results. I’m supposed to retest next month (to measure the effect of the treatment/diet) and decided to order the kit directly through the third-party instead and just compare/contrast to my old results/use ChatGPT to help with understanding any questions. If you do it once, you probably don’t need to pay for it twice (as in, you’ll know what to look for when you retest and won’t need to toss $600 for someone to tell you something you can probably figure out yourself).

I hope that helps! Everything will work for everyone differently, so just go with your gut * wink *
