Our thoughts on Supplementing Vitamin D! #

11/06/2025

When clients come in with really low commensal bacteria on their stool test, it’s a sign their gut ecosystem needs targeted support. Fiber isn’t just “good for digestion” — it’s the fuel your beneficial bacteria rely on to grow, produce helpful compounds like short-chain fatty acids, and support immune and digestive health.

But here’s the catch: not all fiber or probiotics work the same for every gut. Without testing, you might be adding supplements or foods that don’t actually support the bacteria your gut is missing or worse, that could feed the wrong bacteria.

This is why a stool test is so valuable: it tells us exactly what your gut needs, so we can personalize your fiber intake and probiotics to help your microbiome thrive. 🌱

✅ Key takeaway: Testing first = smarter, more effective gut support.

Did you know your gut health can directly impact your fertility? Supporting gut function is often a key step in optimizing reproductive health, because the gut plays a role in:

1. Hormone balance: A healthy gut helps your body metabolize and eliminate excess estrogen, which can regulate menstrual cycles.

2. Nutrient absorption: Key fertility nutrients like folate, zinc, and vitamin B12 rely on proper digestion and a healthy gut lining.

3. Reducing inflammation: Chronic gut inflammation can disrupt ovulation and hormone signaling.

Client example: One client came to me with heavy, irregular periods. After supporting daily bowel movements and addressing gut imbalances, her periods became lighter and more regular, a sign her body was better able to manage hormones.

If you’re trying to conceive or want to better understand how your gut may be impacting your fertility, our GI-MAP stool test package can help uncover imbalances and guide a personalized plan to support your gut and reproductive health.

30 pounds… from a p**p test?! 💩✨
Sounds wild, but this is what happens when you stop guessing and start testing.

After years of inflammation, bloating, and feeling stuck, she finally got answers from her GI-MAP results.
We found high levels of Firmicutes, Bacteroides, and several dysbiotic species, along with Candida overgrowth and indicated of damaged gut lining.
Instead of jumping straight to killing everything off, we started by rebuilding her gut lining — reducing inflammation and repairing the barrier that had been breaking down for years.
Then we addressed overgrowth and possible biofilms, and rebuilt with beneficial bacteria, restoring balance and improving digestion, metabolism, and detox pathways.

And the results?
➡️ Down 30 pounds
➡️ Bloating gone
➡️ Triglycerides cut in half
➡️ Energy + mood better than ever

She didn’t need more willpower. She needed information.
If you’re ready to finally get answers about your gut, our GI-MAP testing package is available through November only, with $100 off when you book before October 31.
Comment, or DM us GUT to grab your spot and finally see what’s really going on inside your body. 🧠✨
