Episode 314: Navigating a Stool Panel

What’s your poop telling you? If you are dealing with longstanding GI issues, have a recent diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease, or are just curious about the health of your gut, you might consider a stool test! A comprehensive, functional stool analysis provides insight into good, neutral and bad bacteria populations, yeast, parasites, virus and more. It also includes markers of how well you digest and absorb your food, inflammatory markers, and indicators of leaky gut. 

In this episode, we break down the reasons you might consider a stool test, how this test is done, and what it includes. We walk through a case study of a sample panel and give direct insight into how to manage pathogen overgrowth, rebound the gut lining, improve absorption and so much more. Plus we compare our stool test to some of the direct to consumer options on the market and provide an exclusive discount code for podcast listeners!
