Ep 17: Decoding Your Gut: Functional Stool Testing Deep Dive

If you’ve already tested your gut with your gastroenterologist, gotten blood work, gone for a colonoscopy, but you still have loads of chronic digestive issues like bloating, food sensitivities, constipation or diarrhea… it's time for another test. Your pain and digestive problems are not just "in your head". You just haven't had the right testing yet. In this episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, I dive into the significance of functional stool testing in addressing chronic digestive issues. Functional stool testing can offer us a deep dive into the health of your gut microbiome and digestive function. Ready to get to the root? Let's dive into comprehensive testing to help identify the root causes of your digestive problems.       WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Functional stool testing is a game changer for those with chronic digestive issues. Gut health influences immunity, mood, hormone health, autoimmunity, thyroid function, and more. Comprehensive stool testing is more sensitive and comprehensive than basic stool tests. Working with a practitioner who can help assess and build upon your test results is absolutely essential. Different microbial imbalances can lead to chronic bloating, constipation, diarrhea and even "IBS". LINKS: Book a strategy call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!
