- Hippocrates
Hippocrates observed 2400 years ago that all disease begins in the gut. Science is proving that to be true as many chronic diseases today are attributed to a breakdown in gut health. It’s essential to identify and optimize your gut health if you want to live a long, vibrant and healthy life.
Research in the past 20 years show that there is a gut-brain connection. Gut dysfunction can lead to neurological symtpoms such as brain fog, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.
Gut health is critical for nutrient absorption, which you need to make energy, make new tissues, and heal.
Gut health is critical for your immune function since 70% of your immune system resides in your gut. When gut becomes inflamed, this can lead to chronic, low grade, system inflammation that can be the trigger for various other diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, and neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Western medicine focuses on diagnosing pathologies such as ulcers, tumors, and polyps with expensive tests such as endoscopy and colonoscopy. While those tests can diagnose frank pathologies and diseases in late stages, these tests do not tell you about the root cause of the disease, such as nutrient absorption, leaky gut, or even detect many of the gut pathogens that can wreak havoc on your gut.
The problem gets worse because typical medical practitioners are trained to treat symptoms where they occur, but fail to recognize that GI problems can lead to diseases and symptoms in almost every other parts of the body except the gut.
GI problems can lead to brain symptoms such as brain fog, memory loss, depression and anxiety, autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto’s, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis, skin problems such as eczema, rash, hives, or psoriasis, hormone imbalance, weight problems, inflammation and pain
Dr. Kan has developed the GI Map Health Assessment incorporating the latest DNA technology to help you identify the root cause of your chronic condition.
The GI Map Health Assessment uses a simple, single stool sample, at-home test to identify and isolate microbe-specifc DNAs. This allows for identification of not only the microbial species, but also the concentration of each organisms.
Pathogenic Bacteria
Opportunistic Bacteria
Candida and fungal overgrowth
Intestinal and Systemic Viruses
Protozoas
Parasites
In addition, we test for beneficial bacteria that are are keystone species which help feed and maintain the other beneficial microbes that makes up the human microbiome.
Moreover, the test include digestive, gut immune and gut inflammatory markers to indicate potential problems with pancreatic enzyme sufficiency, fat absorption, bile flow, detoxification, gluten sensitivity and leaky gut.
The is the most comprehensive test to date that provides you a detailed map of your gut health so you can start to heal your gut by focusing on the root cause.
You'll receive a stool test kit that will allow you to easily and hygienically take and ship a sample to our state of the art testing facility. Here they’ll use the latest advances in genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic testing to identify key sensitivities generated in your body as a result of not only your lifestyle, but also your genetics and medical history.
Your testing report will contain your personalized health blueprint, a map to not just the perfect diet for your mind and body, but also to how you can change your lifestyle to fix health problems you may not have even realized were a part of the problem.
To help you create a concrete path that you can follow to get you healthier than ever, you’ll get a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Kan to examine all the information revealed by your test. In your one-on-one consultation he’ll teach you how to turn the information into precise, actionable health goals that you can implement to feel healthier and happier than ever.
