Comprehensive Gut Microbiome Analysis

Comprehensive Gut Microbiome Analysis

If you’re dealing with bloating, constipation, reflux, food sensitivities, or inflammation, gut testing is one of the most powerful tools we can use to uncover the why. At Living Balance Wellness, I offer two options based on your needs and goals: the GI Spotlight by Designs for Health and the more in-depth Gut Zoomer by Vibrant Wellness.

These tests go beyond surface symptoms to evaluate digestion, microbial balance, inflammation, immune activity, and how well your body is breaking down and absorbing nutrients. Testing allows us to get clear on what’s going on beneath the surface—so we can create a step-by-step plan that truly supports healing.

  • GI Spotlight is ideal for identifying core imbalances, digestive insufficiencies, and inflammation-related triggers

  • Gut Zoomer offers a deeper dive into over 170 species of bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, and immune marker

NOTE: Labs are  not always necessary to get started. My Microbiome Reset Program is designed to support gut healing whether you choose to run a lab or not.

GI Spotlight by Designs for Health

Overview:
The GI Spotlight is a focused, functional lab test that evaluates key areas of digestive health and gut immunity. It looks at microbial balance, digestive capacity, inflammation, and markers that reflect the integrity of the gut lining. It is ideal for clients experiencing symptoms like bloating, food sensitivities, constipation, loose stools, or chronic gut discomfort.

What It Measures:

  • Commensal and opportunistic bacteria (including Akkermansia, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium)

  • Fungal and yeast overgrowth (e.g., Candida spp.)

  • Pathogenic bacteria and markers of intestinal inflammation (e.g., Anti-gliadin, Zonulin)

  • Digestive enzyme levels (e.g., Pancreatic Elastase 1)

  • Immune markers (e.g., Secretory IgA)

Best For:

  • Individuals needing a mid-level analysis of gut health

  • Those looking for clues behind food sensitivities, leaky gut, or GI inflammation

  • Clients who have tried basic digestive support but still experience symptoms

What You’ll Gain:

  • A functional view of your gut’s current state

  • Insight into key imbalances or infections

  • A roadmap to begin rebalancing your digestion, gut immunity, and microbiome health

Gut Zoomer by Vibrant Wellness 

Overview:
The Gut Zoomer is a comprehensive microbiome test designed to analyze the full spectrum of bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses within your digestive system. It also evaluates inflammation, immune markers, gut barrier integrity, and digestive sufficiency. This test offers one of the most complete pictures of gut health available.

What It Measures:

  • 170+ species and genera of bacteria, including beneficial flora, pathogens, and diversity indexes

  • Pathogenic microbes (including parasites, viruses, fungi)

  • Inflammatory and immune markers (e.g., calprotectin, secretory IgA, anti-gliadin, zonulin)

  • Digestive function (e.g., fecal fats, elastase, short-chain fatty acids)

  • Microbial resistance genes (antibiotic resistance)

Best For:

  • Clients with long-standing, chronic digestive symptoms

  • Autoimmune, neurological, or inflammatory conditions connected to gut health

  • Anyone looking for a deep, comprehensive understanding of their gut microbiome

What You’ll Gain:

  • A detailed map of your gut ecosystem and immune status

  • Specific insights into infections, inflammation, or nutrient absorption challenges

  • Targeted, strategic recommendations to restore gut balance and improve overall resilience
