felt discouraged by her health limitations. She wanted to pursue a
holistic approach to healing.
A comprehensive assessment included a GI-MAP stool test that
revealed elevated bacterial pathogens H. pylori and E. coli and
fungal overgrowth Candida. And markers of gut inflammation.
These findings supported the client's symptoms and guided the
development of a tailored protocol LabDx.
The LabDx was instructed to interpret and organize the client's lab
results for clear communication and recommendations. Initial
dietary recommendations focused on eliminating trigger foods,
including nutrient-dense gut-friendly options, like leafy greens,
clean proteins, and green juices.
Mindful juice, juicing, and fasting practices reduce the digestive
burden and support the healing of the stomach and intestines.
Supplements such as probiotics, digestive, sciences, and
anti-inflammatory support were included. Also, lifestyle guidelines
were centered around hydration and mineral-infused water, stress
management through breath, work, and gentle movement
practices like swimming.
Over the next five months, the client experienced remarkable
improvement. She reported no further explosive bowel
movements, reduced bloating, and significant weight loss. She
also had improved sleep quality.
The client said this is the first time I've ever had daily bowel
movements. Her energy level also increased and gave her
confidence. This case reinforces the power of a structured
integrative approach to get help utilizing LabDx to streamline lab
analysis and supplement recommendations.
