Micronutrient Testing
—Micronutrient Testing · Included in Every Digestive Reset Program
You gut can't heal
without the right building blocks.
Most people eating a decent diet are still depleted in the nutrients their gut needs most to heal. Standard bloodwork only checks a handful of markers at serum level. Micronutrient testing goes deeper — checking 50+ key vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, antioxidants, and metabolites at the cellular level, where it actually matters.

—How Micronutrient Deficiencies Impact Your Gut
Your gut needs specific nutrients to function.
Here's what happens when they're missing.
When your gut is damaged it stops absorbing nutrients properly. Elimination diets strip out entire food groups and reduce your intake even further. And healing itself demands more nutrients than your body normally needs — so at the very moment your gut requires the most nutritional support, it has the least. Here’s what that depletion actually does to your body.
Digestive issues wreck nutrient absorption
When your gut lining is damaged, bacteria are imbalanced, enzyme production is low, or bile is altered, your body struggles to break down and absorb nutrients no matter how well you eat. Medications compound this further. The result is malabsorption and depletion that leaves your gut without the raw materials it needs to repair itself — a cycle that keeps you stuck.
What this means for you
You may be eating a good diet and still be severely depleted. Testing tells us exactly what’s missing so we can correct it directly rather than guessing.
Immune disruption
70% of your immune system lives in your gut. When key nutrients are low, your immunity takes a hit — making gut inflammation harder to control and flare-ups more frequent and intense. For women dealing with IBS, IBD, or Crohn’s, getting micronutrients dialed in is often the missing piece that finally allows the immune system to calm down and stop working against you.
What this means for you
Addressing nutrient deficiencies isn’t just about energy — it’s about giving your immune system what it needs to stop fueling the inflammation that drives your symptoms.
Imbalanced gut flora and inflammation
Certain nutrients have powerful anti-inflammatory properties and directly support the growth of beneficial bacteria. Without them, the environment in your gut becomes hostile to the good bacteria you need and favorable to the harmful ones. Inflammation persists, the microbiome stays out of balance, and symptoms keep coming back no matter what dietary changes you make on top.
What this means for you
You can’t fully rebalance your microbiome while your nutrient levels are depleted. Both need to be addressed together — which is exactly why we include this testing in every program.
The gut-brain connection suffers
Your gut and brain are in constant communication through the gut-brain axis — and that communication depends heavily on specific nutrients. When those nutrients are depleted, mood swings, anxiety, depression, and brain fog follow. These aren’t separate issues from your gut problems — they’re part of the same picture, and they respond when nutrient levels are corrected.
What this means for you
If your mood, energy, and mental clarity have suffered alongside your gut issues, there’s a good chance nutrient deficiencies are driving both.
Skin issues with gut roots
Acne, eczema, and dermatitis are rarely just skin-deep. They often trace back to gut health and nutrient status — particularly zinc, vitamin A, omega-3 fatty acids, and glutathione. If you’ve been treating skin issues topically without results, there’s a real chance the root cause is internal. Testing identifies whether micronutrient gaps are driving what’s showing up on your skin.
What this means for you
Fixing the gut and correcting the right deficiencies often clears skin issues that topical treatments never fully resolved.
Long-term damage from untreated deficiencies
Poor nutrient absorption left unchecked doesn’t just slow healing — it creates lasting damage over time. Osteoporosis, anemia, cognitive decline, memory issues, and chronic fatigue are all downstream consequences of prolonged nutrient depletion. Finding and correcting deficiencies now protects your long-term health, not just your digestion.
What this means for you
This testing isn’t just about healing your gut faster — it’s about protecting your health for the long term so your gut issues don’t create problems you’ll be dealing with for decades.
—What nutrient deficiencies drive
Nutrient deficiencies don't just slow your gut healing.
They affect every system in your body.
Most people think of nutrient deficiencies as an energy problem. But when your gut is depleted the consequences show up across your entire body — in your hormones, your immune system, your metabolism, your mood, and your skin. The gut is the gateway. When it stops absorbing what your body needs, everything downstream feels it.
Inability to heal gut problems
Your gut needs specific nutrients to repair its lining, rebalance bacteria, and reduce inflammation. Without them, healing stalls regardless of what else you do.
Food sensitivities worsening
Nutrient deficiencies weaken the gut lining and disrupt immune regulation — two of the primary drivers of food sensitivity development and severity.
Hormonal imbalance & Thyroid Dysfunction
Hormones are built from nutrients. Deficiencies in zinc, selenium, iodine, and B vitamins directly disrupt thyroid function and hormone production.
Metabolic disruptions & fatigue
B vitamins, magnesium, iron, and CoQ10 are all essential for energy production at the cellular level. When they’re depleted, fatigue and metabolic dysfunction follow.
Mood disorders & anxiety
The gut produces 90% of your serotonin. Nutrient deficiencies that disrupt gut function directly affect mood, anxiety, and mental clarity through the gut-brain axis.

Why cellular level testing
matters more than serum.
Standard bloodwork measures nutrients in your blood serum, giving just a snapshot of what’s circulating. But serum levels can look normal even when your cells are depleted. Micronutrient testing measures long term nutrient stores and what’s actually available for nutrients do their work. That’s the difference between a test that tells you what’s actually slowing your healing.
—Are your medications depleting your nutrients?
Your prescriptions may be robbing you
of the nutrients your gut needs most.
Most people don’t realize that common medications— including birth control, antibiotics, and metformin— deplete specific vitamins and minerals over time. If you’ve been on any of these long-term, there’s a good chance your nutrient levels have been quietly dropping without anyone checking.
The chart shows which medicaitons are linked to which depletions— and why testing gives us the information we need to correct them specifically rather than guessing.

What women say after
Working with Sarah
This isn’t a basic blood panel. It’s a comprehensive analysis of every nutrient category your gut and body depend on — tested at the cellular level where standard testing never looks.
The extensive testing that Sarah conducts and the ability to work with her on a weekly 1:1 basis has completely changed the game for me. I feel better than I ever have, and I can’t recommend her services enough.
The various tests were very informative and shed so much light on exactly what was going on with my gut. I always felt that regular doctors were dismissive of my issues and quick to give me several prescriptions without identifying the root cause. Sarah used results from my body’s tests to determine exactly what I needed.
I have struggled with digestive issues and stomach pain for all of my adult life and could never get answers — until now. I love how personalized her approach is; it’s totally tailored to me and uses data and insights from MY bloodwork.
