GI-MAP x/ Stool OMX microbiome study
Get to the Root of Your Gut Health
Are You Struggling With Digestive Issues That Won't Go Away?
If you've been dealing with bloating, constipation, diarrhea, unexplained fatigue, skin problems, or mystery symptoms that doctors can't seem to figure out—your gut might be trying to tell you something.
The GI-MAP w/ Stool OMX is the most advanced, comprehensive DNA stool analysis available. It goes far beyond basic testing to reveal exactly what's happening inside your digestive system.
What Is the GI-MAP w/ Stool OMX?
GI-MAP stands for Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus. This cutting-edge evaluation uses quantitative PCR technology to detect and measure the DNA of microorganisms in your gut with incredible accuracy.
The Stool OMX add-on provides an additional layer of insight into your gut health, giving us a truly comprehensive picture of what's going on.
Unlike outdated stool tests that rely on cultures and microscopy, the GI-MAP uses advanced molecular technology to identify even trace amounts of organisms that could be impacting your health.

Why the GI-MAP Is Different
It's Quantitative
Unlike other tests that just tell you "yes" or "no," the GI-MAP tells you how much of each organism is present. This helps us understand the severity and prioritize what needs to be addressed first.
It's Comprehensive
One test gives you a complete picture: pathogens, beneficial bacteria, inflammation, digestion, absorption, and immune function—all in one place.
It's Accurate
Using DNA-based PCR technology (the gold standard), the GI-MAP can detect organisms that other tests miss entirely.
It's Actionable
Results come in an easy-to-understand report that we review together. From there, we can create a personalized wellness plan based on exactly what your body needs.
What to Expect
1. Easy At-Home Collection
You'll receive a simple collection kit. Just one stool sample is all we need—no multiple collections required. The sample is stable at room temperature, making it easy to ship back to the lab.
2. Fast, Accurate Results

3. Personalized Review
We'll schedule a session to go over your results together. I'll explain what everything means in plain language (no confusing medical jargon!) and answer all your questions.
