Who is This Test For?
This is the most advanced DNA based stool test that gives complete insight into digestion, your gut microbiome and gastrointestinal function. This is an important test to do if you suffer from chronic digestive issues like bloating/gas, acid reflux, constipation/diarrhea or skin eruptions like eczema, acne, psoriasis, etc. All disease begins in the gut!
This test also provides markers that overlook blood sugar, bile flow, adrenal health, gluten sensitivity, inflammation, immunity, pancreatic enzyme sufficiency, liver function, leaky gut, SIBO, occult blood and antibiotic resistant genes. It also checks for bacteria, parasites/pathogens, worms, viruses and fungi/yeast.
Working with me 1-on-1, you can now order the GI Map to get to the root cause of your symptoms. We will review the results in detail, correlate your symptoms with your results and develop a comprehensive yet individualized protocol that restores balance and well-being. Offering a nutrition, supplement, meal plan and lifestyle protocol.
IgG Food Sensitivities & Candida Test
Uncovering Food Sensitivities
IgG food sensitivities provide a useful guide for personalized rotation/elimination diets with clinical impact associated with a variety of diseases. People may continue to eat offending foods unaware of their potential adverse effects, because symptoms associated with food sensitivities may occur hours or days after the offending food was eaten.
MosaicDX’s IgG Food MAP test is a comprehensive food sensitivity test that measures antibodies to 190 common foods, herbs, and spices typically found in Western, Asian, and Mediterranean diets also includes results for candida and yeast. This test is available in both serum and dried blood spot formats, making it easy and convenient for patients. By identifying food sensitivities, this test can help individuals customize their diet leading to improvements in overall health and wellbeing.
This test also include Candida and Yeast overgrowth, as well as a 30 min review of the results.

Who is This Test For?
Although the term “Leaky Gut” has been used for years to describe all manner of issues relating to how people feel, it’s only recently that the scientific community discovered that there’s actually a biomarker in our body that, together with its related family of peptides, controls the tight junctions of our gut so that, to put it bluntly: The good stuff goes into our bloodstream and the bad stuff stays out. Everyone is affected by it to one degree or another. It’s called Zonulin and it’s revolutionary.
Zonulin (pre-Haptoglobin 2) is a protein that modulates the permeability of tight junctions between cells of the digestive tract wall. Zonulin, and its family of peptides, are found within intestinal cells and, interestingly, its production and release mimic the effect of certain bacterial toxins. Once triggered, Zonulin plays an important role in the creation of what we think of as gut “leakiness.”
The takeaway? The gliadin-Zonulin “leak” effect occurs not just in people with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity. It occurs in everyone, but the effect is longer and more pronounced in the intestinal cells of people with celiac disease.
This test includes a 30 min review of the results.
Hair Elements Test
Insight into toxic metal exposure and mineral balance
The Hair Elements analysis provides information regarding recent and ongoing exposure to potentially toxic metals and time-averaged status of specific nutrient elements. This noninvasive screening test requires only .25 grams of hair. Hair Elements profile contains essential and toxic elements.
Hair element analysis provides important information which, in conjunction with symptoms and other laboratory values, can assist in identifying root causes or areas we can improve through diet, supplements and lifestyle.
Toxic elements may be 200 to 300 times more highly concentrated in hair than in blood or urine. Therefore, hair is the tissue of choice for detection of recent exposure to elements such as arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, lead, antimony and mercury.
