Comprehensive Stool Testing

Tired of your gut calling the shots? Comprehensive Stool Testing digs deep to uncover the potential root-causes of your digestive issues, giving you the clarity to finally put them behind you. As a Certified Microbiome Analyst, I’ve completed extensive training and know exactly how to decode your microbiome imbalances and send you on your path to healing.

 Maintaining a balanced microbiome is critical for identifying and addressing the underlying causes of your digestive dysfunction. By analyzing your gut’s microbial ecosystem, we can pinpoint imbalances that contribute to chronic gut issues.

The Comprehensive Stool Test I use is called Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing and isn’t just any other another stool test—it’s the most advanced way to analyze your gut’s entire microbial ecosystem.

While basic tests skim the surface, this cutting-edge approach maps out every bacteria, fungi, and pathogen, showing exactly what’s throwing your digestion off track. With these results we can go deeper to finding the root-cause, revealing how diet, meds, and environmental factors are messing with your gut.

No more guesswork—just real, science-backed answers so you can finally get to the root of the problem.

Most doctors only check a couple of things with their stool tests. But with Shot Gun stool testing, we look at everything.

You’ll find out if you have:

• Optimal levels of Keystone Beneficial Bacteria
• Overgrowths of Pathiobionts & Opportunistic Bacteria
• Too many LPS (Lipopolysaccharide) producing bacteria that cause gut inflammation and an exacerbation of bloating, gas, constipation, fatty liver, leaky gut, memory issues, fatigue, and a host of chronic diseases
• Arkea (such as methanogens), Yeasts, Fungi, Parasites, and Viruses
• Gas-producing organisms like Methane and Hydrogen Sulfide Producers (H2S)
• Gut damaging by-products like Ammonia, Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA), Trimethylamine (TMA), and Histamine
• Protective, anti-inflammatory by-products like Butyrate, Acetate, and Propionate
• The overall Species Richness and Diversity of your microbiome compared to healthy people

By checking all of these, we get a full picture of your gut health—so we know exactly what to fix, and nothing is missed.

Your doctor’s stool test, on the other hand, only shows part of the story. They’ll probably say “your test looks normal,” but there are a lot of hidden issues that just got overlooked!

Many Functional Medicine Practitioners rely on qPCR stool testing, but here’s the problem: it doesn’t give you the FULL picture of your microbiome. It misses out on the diversity of microbes, ignores the healthy and unhealthy by-products in your gut, and leaves major gaps in your assessment.

Too often, clinicians using qPCR have a “kill the pathogen” mindset, neglecting the vital balance of beneficial microbes. Plus, qPCR tests can trigger false positives, leading to unnecessary antibiotics, herbal treatments, and wasted time and money.

If your qPCR stool test came back “normal,” chances are there’s a huge chunk of your microbiome you never got to see.

Shotgun Stool Testing? It’s the GOLD STANDARD method used to assess the ENTIRE gut microbiome.

PCR testing only zeroes in on a handful of microbes. Shotgun Metagenomics? It sequences EVERY piece of genetic material, giving you the full, functional blueprint of your gut’s entire ecosystem.
