Reclaim your health and BLOOM into wellness.
Using the GI-MAP™ test and a tailored protocol, we can heal your gut. A healthy gut leads to better sleep, more energy, balanced hormones, better nutrient absorption, and will help you look, feel, and perform your best.
What is a GI-MAP™?
The GI Microbial Assay Plus (or GI-MAP™) test is a DNA-based stool test that provides a detailed analysis of your gut microbiome. This test analyzes the levels of both good and bad bacteria, parasites, viruses, worms, and fungi, as well as immune and digestive markers in your gut. This “map” allows us to tailor a program that will help restore balance to the biome of your gut improving your digestion, mood, immunity, and overall body function.
I get it ...
You’re feeling run down or are experiencing symptoms that you just can’t find a solution for. Maybe you’ve tried fad diets, taken copious amounts of supplements and/or medications, or perhaps you’ve even gone to specialist after specialist yet you are still suffering and don’t know where else to turn. I’ve been there and it’s a terrible, discouraging reality.
You don’t have to continue to chase symptoms (which are the body’s way of communicating with us) when there is a root cause waiting to be discovered and addressed. This is exactly why I offer the GI-Map™. The gut plays such an integral part in our health and overall wellbeing and the GI-Map™ gives us so much rich information about what is going on. We’ll use that information to create a catered protocol to once and for all help you reclaim your health and vitality.
You’re in the right place if ...
- ✓ You have persistent symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, gas, bloating, food sensitivities, headaches ...
- ✓ You have a pantry full of supplements, but have no idea if they are actually working for you.
- ✓ You’ve been searching for solutions on your own or with your doctor, but nothing seems to work.
- ✓ You’ve tried everything from diets to detoxes, to try to look and feel your best, but you’re not there yet.
Instead of just managing your symptoms, we use the GI-MAP™ test to find and address the root-cause.
Once we establish the root cause of your symptoms we can work to re-establish your gut health naturally.

Diet & Lifestyle Changes
Considering your unique stressors, we create a plan to rebalance your diet & lifestyle.
Here’s how we’ll heal your gut ...
Remove
We work with natural herbs and medicinal grade essential oils to remove any symptom-causing pathogenic overgrowth. We also remove any foods or medications that may be disrupting gut health (this is always done in conjunction with your physician).
Replace
We support proper digestion during the protocol by replacing levels of enzymes or bacteria that may be missing. This also typically includes replacing with supplements that support healing, reduction of inflammation and support immune function.
Reinoculate
We repopulate the gut with healthy bacteria by using the appropriate probiotics and prebiotics to make the gut health flourish and improve digestion.
Repair
At this stage, we want to create an environment that supports gut-healing and long-term relief. Oftentimes we have to repair the gut lining and the intestinal wall by using special tools. This means cellular repair within the gut wall and introducing key nutrients that improve the immune system of the gut.
Rebalance
A huge part of my protocols includes diet, stress management, sleep, and exercise suggestions to help the body heal as a whole. We know that gut health is affected intensely by stress alone. The personalized protocol I create for you takes your unique stressors into account and we create a plan to rebalance your lifestyle so you can prevent further GI dysfunction.

Common Questions
Though I don’t accept insurance for the consultation fee, it is possible that your insurance will cover a portion of the GI-MAP™test. I can give you an invoice for my consultation fee so that you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement (this has worked well especially for those with an HSA or a share plan type of insurance).
If your insurance covers out of network labs, you will pay $179 (for the GI-MAP™ test) directly to Diagnostic Solutions at the time you send your sample to the lab. Diagnostic Solutions will then bill insurance on your behalf. You are responsible for anything the insurance doesn’t cover.
I accept all major credit cards.
Protocol length and complexity will vary from patient to patient based on your test results. However, the average spending is $300 - 400 per month and may vary month to month.
My practice is solely virtual. We will review your test and protocol via Zoom. It typically takes 45 - 60 minutes. You will also have email access to me during the time of your protocol.
What to expect
Complete a Questionnaire
To be the most effective, I want to learn a little more about your health history and current lifestyle. I also want to know about your wellness goals so they can be addressed as I put together your 90-day protocol. You’ll get access to the questionnaire as soon as you’ve purchased your package.
Complete Your GI-MAP™ Test
I will order the test kit to be mailed to you directly. The kit will come with very clear instructions on how to collect your stool sample. When you mail your sample back to Diagnostic Solutions there is a form for you to fill out your payment information and insurance information.
Once you mail the test back to the lab it will take 2-3 weeks to get the results and for me to formulate your protocol.
Consultation
During the consultation, we will go over your test results in detail and I will explain your custom protocol based on my assessment. Your plan may include diet recommendations, probiotics, herbal supplements, and essential oils to correct the imbalances highlighted by your GI-MAP™.
Protocol
The protocol specifically addresses the imbalances in your gut by removing the bad pathogens, replacing them with good ones, and alleviating any inflammation or digestive problems.
90-day Ongoing Support
During your 90-day protocol, we will communicate by email as needed to assess your progress, address any symptoms that may arise, and make any necessary adjustments.
Post 90-day Protocol
Though not always necessary, I do sometimes recommend re-testing after your 90-day protocol to see how your test results have changed. Regardless if you decide to do a second test or not, I will recommend a maintenance protocol to help you maintain your results and feel your best. Many clients find it beneficial to complete annual or bi-annual GI mapping to stay on top of their gut health.
How Will You Know It’s Working?
You can expect an improvement in symptoms that you are having. Some happen faster than others. Gut healing is slow and can take up to one year to have full improvement. Most people see drastic improvement before the end of the protocol.
Does the GI-MAP™ test cover food allergies or intolerances?
The short answer is no. But, once you heal the gut, food sensitivities tend to improve.
If after your protocol you are still experiencing symptoms, I can refer you to a functional medicince practitioner so you can get a comprehensive food sensitivity test.
Food Allergy & Intolerance Testing
If at the beginning of our work together, the symptoms you're experiencing seem to be clearly related to certain foods, I can help you to acquire a comprehensive blood test through a functional medicine practitioner to help inform your custom protocol.
