✨ Why do we use the GI-MAP Gut Test? ✨

Your gut is like your second brain — and sometimes, it’s the hidden root of fatigue, bloating, skin flare-ups, or even mood shifts.

Instead of guessing, the GI-MAP stool test gives us a clear picture of what’s happening inside. 🧬💩

Here’s what it reveals:
🔎 Gut bacteria balance (good + bad bugs)
🦠 Parasites, yeast & viruses
🔥 Inflammation levels in your gut
🥦 How well you’re digesting & absorbing food
🛡️ Your gut immune system

👉 Why we use it: Because symptoms alone don’t tell the whole story. The GI-MAP helps us create a personalized plan so you can heal from the inside out. 🌿✨

👉 We run this alongside the DUTCH hormone test to give us true gut brain hormone answers 🧪 no more guessing

Would you take a test like this to get answers about your gut health? 💬👇

🌿 High Histamine? Here’s What to Know

Histamine imbalances can cause some really unpleasant symptoms — headaches, hives, bloating, anxiety, fatigue, food intolerance and more.

The key? Find the root cause, not just treat symptoms. We often have to look wider at more than just one body system here.

🚨 Common Causes
• Gut issues (SIBO, leaky gut, dysbiosis)
• High-histamine foods
• Allergies or chronic inflammation
• DAO enzyme deficiency
• Hormonal shifts / higher oestrogen
• Chronic stress

🧪 Testing Options
Histamine problems are often a symptom of deeper imbalances (aka “metabolic chaos”).

Tests are nuanced but consider:
• Blood test: plasma histamine
• DAO enzyme activity test
• Urinary histamine or methylhistamine
• Gut health panel
• Cortisol & hormone testing
• Food intolerance testing

✨ Ways to Reduce
• Eat fresh, low-histamine foods 🍏
• Support gut health with histamine-friendly probiotics
• Consider DAO supplementation
• Boost vitamin C, copper, B6 intake
• Manage stress & improve sleep
• Stay hydrated 💧
• Correct imbalances found in testing
• Short-term antihistamines may help you get started

💡 Balance is key — identify your triggers, test where possible, and give your body what it needs to heal.
