Function Medicine GI Map and Gut Health

Gut symptoms that we think are “normal” or “part of aging” are NOT NORMAL.

That’s why a GI MAP test is a valuable functional medicine test to help you figure out what’s REALLY going on.

First let’s talk about the current mainstream “solutions”.

If you haven’t noticed, there’s an over-the-counter or prescription “solution” for everything that ails us.

  • Heartburn? Tums. Pepcid. Alka-Selter. Prolisec.
  • Bloating? Beono. Phazyme. Gas-Ex. Simethicone.
  • Diarrhea? Pepto. Imodium. Kaopectate. Lomotil.
  • Constipation? Colace. Ducolax. Phillips MOM. MiraLAX. Linzess.
  • IBS? Bentyl. Librax. Donnatal.

It’s not your fault for believing that pills are the only “cure”…because this is what we’ve been taught.

If a part of you knows there may be a better way, you’re right!

Sure, it’s normal to have an occasional bout of diarrhea or constipation, but…

CHRONIC SYMPTOMS ARE NOT NORMAL.

They’re actually a wake up call to deeper dysfunction going on in your body.

Finding the reasons behind your chronic heartburn, bloating, diarrhea and constipation is how healing happens.

This is why I created the GI-MAP Coaching Package.

The GI-MAP is a stool test that reports good and bad bacteria, H.Pylori, worms, parasites, digestive and intestinal health.

We’ll use your test results to create a targeted protocol to eliminate overgrowth, balance your microbiome, support digestive health and restore your gut. Along with a Results and Recommendations session we’ll also meet for a follow-up coaching session.

If you know living with chronic digestive distress is no where near normal and you’re curious to explore the root cause instead….

The GI-MAP Coaching Package is for you.

The GI-MAP helped me put an end to my chronic gut problems so I could get out of my bathroom and off my couch!

This is just one reason we test and don’t guess as a powerful tool in your overall healing.

What Clients Are Saying

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.
VICTORIA

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre “food allergies” that I’d never had before. Because of Carla’s coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.
KALYN

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla’s sleuthing…she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.
BETH

Over years, I’ve tried various “alternative” medicine as well as conventional “western” medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat – so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason – I’ve experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!
JON

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.
LISA

I never knew that I had a gluten allergy and intolerance until Carla discovered it in my blood work! I’m so grateful that she made this discovery and I have been gluten free ever since. I sleep better, don’t feel bloated and have much more energy. It was a life-changing insight.

ALLISON

I have been working with Carla for quite some time and she has helped me turn my life and health around. She is non-judgmental, and always wants the best for her clients. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a fantastic bedside manner. She has truly changed my life for the better and I will always be grateful for everything she has done.
