GI-MAP® (GI Microbial Assay Plus)
Research overwhelmingly indicates that gut health impacts overall health. The gut microbiome plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet, digestion, immunity, metabolic function, and more. This GI-MAP (Microbial Assay Plus) test is truly unique in the field – relying exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested. The quantitative insights provided in this process, known for accuracy and reliability, allow practitioners to create more personalized treatment protocols for optimizing gut function and addressing dysfunction.

Alessandra Miele IFNCP, FMCHC, NBC-HWC
I’m an Integrative & Functional Health Practitioner and board-certified health coach who works with children, families, and women seeking a deeper understanding of their health. My approach looks beyond symptoms to explore potential underlying contributors, including nutrition, gut health, metabolic function, genetics, environmental exposures, and lifestyle factors. I use functional testing when appropriate to help uncover patterns and create a more personalized approach to supporting overall health and well-being.
