One of the most common questions I get asked is “what are the best tests for gut health?” My answer usually surprises people… None of them!

What do I mean? Well, our gut microbiome literally changes every second in response to our stress levels, our toxic burden, what foods we eat and so on. So GI mapping and similar tests don’t really tell us much about what’s actually happening.

Instead, I recommend that people do more “root cause” testing to find out what’s actually causing the gut symptoms in the first place so we can address that/those.
