The Hormone Clarity Kit

Most conventional stool tests your doctor orders look for acute infections like salmonella or parasites causing severe diarrhea. The GI-MAP is a DNA-based test that evaluates your entire gut ecosystem, including bacterial overgrowth, H. pylori, candida, inflammation markers, immune function, and digestive capacity - the real reasons behind your symptoms.

This test can help uncover the hidden causes behind bloating, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, food sensitivities, acne, eczema, fatigue, brain fog, hormone imbalances, and even autoimmune patterns. Your gut influences far more than digestion alone!

The GI-MAP is an FDA-approved test that uses quantitative PCR technology to detect microbial DNA, which makes it highly sensitive and specific. It picks up much more than conventional stool testing, hence why clients feel more validated and supported in their gut healing. Like any lab, results must be interpreted by someone who has extensive experience and in the context of symptoms, which is exactly what the Gut Clarity Kit provides.

The Gut Clarity Kit includes detailed interpretation and strategic direction, but it does not include a full customized treatment protocol. If you’d like hands-on support implementing the recommendations from your test, that’s what my Gut REPAIR Roadmap or 1:1 program are for. Think of this as clarity first, implementation next.

I won’t lie, it’s not fun, but it is worth it! It’s a simple at-home stool collection with clear instructions and prepaid return shipping. It’s quick, hygienic, and far less scary than most people imagine. It does help to wear a mask while collecting your sample - not glamorous, but very doable. Plus, you only need one sample compared to many other conventional stool tests your gastro might order that require three consecutive days of samples. 

You should wait at least 2 weeks after finishing antibiotics or antifungals to take the test. Probiotics and laxatives should be paused temporarily for a few days before testing. Continue taking all other prescription medications. If you need support getting a successful bowel movement without laxatives, email Anna at anna@annabrownhealth.com for support.  

The Clarity Kit includes a pre-recorded video, not a live call. For deeper support and questions, Gut REPAIR Roadmap or our 1:1 program are the next step. You can book a free call with us here to see which one is the best fit for you.

Functional testing is different from conventional testing in that results are much more nuanced and less black-and-white. Your test results will always give us insight into patterns, imbalances, and opportunities to strengthen your gut ecosystem. And if your gut markers look balanced but you still feel off, that’s simply information that it’s time to investigate your hormones, thyroid function, and metabolism.

The GI-MAP is not covered by insurance. However, many clients are able to use HSA or FSA funds for this offer, depending on their plan. We recommend checking with your provider for specifics.

Unfortunately, due to testing availability, this offer is only available to those in the United States. Feel free to check out my 7-Day Gut Reset, which you can access anywhere in the world to reduce bloating, improve regularity & get digestion back on track in just one week.
