Do your labs look normal, but your symptoms are FAR from normal?

Our western medical system puts us in 2 buckets. "Sick" or "you're fine". 

At Fiona Smith Coaching we acknowledge that health is not the absence of disease. "They couldn't find anything to diagnose me with, so I guess it's all in my head".

So what if you have symptoms, but no diagnosis. Unexplained rashes, eczema, reoccurring sinus infections, hair-loss, weight-gain that feels like it came out of no where? 

The GI-MAP is a functional lab test that you won't find in your 10 min doctors visit. From acne to hair-loss to thyroid struggles, all dysfunction starts in the gut. 

Logically, it makes a ton of sense to go "I have horrible period cramps, hormonal acne, hair-loss and unexplained weight gain. I want to get my hormones tested!" 

Hormone testing might show that you have high cortisol and estrogen dominance. But it won't tell you WHY. GI-MAP stool sample testing tells us "the why" so we can build a truly customized plan to you.

For example, I struggled with estrogen dominance related symptoms for 7 years. I was gaining weight around my hips/upper thighs, I had the acne of a teenager at age 24, and EXCRUCIATING period pain. I seed cycled. Drank raspberry leaf tea. Ate raw carrot salads. Took DIM supplements. This helped a little bit, but my health didn't truly turn around until I did a custom protocol to address candida overgrowth. When we have an overgrowth like candida, this hinders estrogen detoxification. MEANING if I wanted to have healthy hormones, I had to start with the gut.

I've worked with many clients that have ZERO bloating, perfect poops, and when we look at their GI-MAP, their results are a mess. Gut dysbiosis doesn't always manifest as bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. For some people, it manifests as eczema, allergies, migraines, sluggish thyroid function, histamine intolerance, and acne. Even if you don't have obvious gut issues, we always start with the GI-MAP (stool sample test). Because all dysfunction starts in the gut!

That depends! If you have a previous stool test that's older than 6 months, we will need to run more up to date labs that are an accurate representation of the gut microbiome. I'm happy to take a look at previous labs, however I stay inside my scope of practice as an NTP/RWP.

I cannot diagnose, treat, heal, nor should this service be used to delay or as a substitute for medical advice. Nutritional Therapy Practitioners/Restorative Wellness Practitioners like myself use labs and symptoms as data so we can work to bring the body back to balance.

After our first introduction call, a GI-MAP stool sample kit will be drop shipped to your home. You will collect your sample, drop it off at Fedex, and receive your results within 2 weeks. All of our calls will be held on zoom, and scheduled virtually via Calendly.
