Summary

Welcome to part two of our mini-series on the top functional tests for your fertility . Today we’ll discuss GI-MAP stool testing —a powerful way to uncover what’s really going on in your gut and how it’s impacting your gut symptoms, your hormones, periods, and fertility. I’m joined again by our functional fertility dietitian, Annabelle , to break down everything you need to know. In this episode: What the GI-MAP test is and what it measures (microbiome balance, pathogens, inflammation, digestion, immune markers, and more). Why gut health and hormones are inseparable —from estrogen detox to nutrient absorption. How digestive symptoms like bloating, constipation, and reflux can be early red flags of hormone imbalance. Client stories where uncovering gut issues (like H. pylori) helped restore fertility and support natural pregnancy. The surprising way gut imbalances may contribute to acne, skin flares, and unexplained infertility . Why only 10% of our clients need advanced gut testing to fix their digestive issues Links & Resources: What’s blocking your fertility?
