Our intestinal health is critically important in supporting optimal health outcomes:
- Worse insulin resistance and diabetes
- Cardiovascular disease
- Brain health (cognitive and memory impairment, dementia)
- Systemic inflammation
- Worse cancer outcomes (decreased treatment tolerance, cancer progression rates)
- Immune impairments
Without testing there is no way to know the state of your gut health. I recommend a stool test (GI-MAP test) that assesses your gut microbiome, inflammation, leaky gut , immune function and digestive enzymes. Sophisticated food sensitivity assay testing can also be done to look for foods that may be causing an immune reaction in the gut (Cyrex Food Sensitivity Assays). If any abnormalities are identified, these can be addressed.
