Gut Health Testing
Uncover what's really going on beneath your digestive symptoms with lab testing that looks past the surface.
Your gut does more than digest food — it shapes immunity, inflammation, and how you feel every day.
Why Gut Health Testing Matters
Bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and skin flare-ups are often written off as unrelated. In many cases, they trace back to the same root: a gut barrier that isn’t working the way it should. When the lining of the intestine becomes more permeable than it should be — a state often referred to as “leaky gut” — undigested particles and bacterial byproducts can trigger low-grade, chronic inflammation throughout the body.
Gut health testing measures specific biomarkers tied to intestinal barrier function, giving your provider objective data instead of guesswork. Rather than treating symptoms one at a time, testing helps identify where along the spectrum — from mild sensitivity to significant barrier breakdown — your gut currently sits, so your care plan can be built around what’s actually happening inside your body.
How Gut Health Testing Works
Consult
Discuss your symptoms and history with a provider to determine which panel is right for you.
Test
A simple fingerstick or blood draw collects the sample needed for your panel.
Analyze
Your sample is processed by our lab partner and results are compiled into an easy-to-read report.
Review
Your provider walks you through your results and what they mean for your health.
Personalize
Together, you build a protocol — nutrition, supplements, or further care — based on your data.
What Gut Health Testing Looks For
A comprehensive gut health panel evaluates several markers tied to intestinal barrier integrity, giving a fuller picture than any single test alone.
Barrier Function
Measures how well the tight junctions lining your intestine are holding together, and whether they’re allowing more than they should to pass through.
Microbial Balance
Looks at overgrowth of organisms like yeast that can disrupt the gut environment and contribute to barrier breakdown over time.
Inflammatory Load
Flags immune responses tied to bacterial byproducts that can cross a compromised gut lining and drive body-wide inflammation.
Whole-Body Impact
Connects gut findings to symptoms elsewhere — skin, joints, energy, mood — that are often traced back to gut health once the data is in front of you.
Our Gut Health Panels
Choose the level of insight that fits your symptoms and goals — from a foundational look at barrier health to a comprehensive workup.
Foundational
Gut Barrier Panel
A focused look at core markers of intestinal permeability, including barrier-protein and microbial-overgrowth indicators. A strong starting point for anyone with digestive symptoms, skin issues, or unexplained fatigue.
Comprehensive
Gut & Inflammation Panel
Combines gut barrier markers with a broader inflammatory workup, ideal for patients with chronic or multi-system symptoms.
Add-On
Microbiome Add-On
Pairs with any gut panel to assess microbial diversity and balance for a more complete picture.
Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a lab test that measures specific biomarkers linked to intestinal barrier function and gut-related inflammation, helping your provider understand what’s driving your symptoms.
Most panels use a simple fingerstick or standard blood draw, done in-office or with an at-home kit depending on the panel.
Results are typically available within 2 weeks of your sample being received by the lab.
