#90: The 4 Functional Labs That Are Helping My Clients Get Rid of Reflux and Heartburn
More testing does not automatically mean more healing. I see so many people who have already spent thousands of dollars on labs and they still have no idea what to do next. Years ago, on my own gut healing journey, that was me too.
Today I'm walking through the four labs I keep ordering again and again with clients right now. For each one, I share what it shows us and a real example of what it found for a client. I also explain why I never look at any of these labs on its own.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
• Why I add zonulin and Stool OMX to the GI-MAP, and what bile acids and short-chain fatty acids tell me about your gut lining and digestion
• How the microbial OAT catches yeast that a stool test can miss (my favorite practitioner hack)
• The thyroid and nutrient pattern behind one postpartum client's bloating and hair loss, and what changed in just six weeks
• How the MRT food sensitivity test is different from the ones that flag 40-plus foods, and what it found for a client who was only eating about five foods
