Typical functional clinic pricing
What a similar testing and consultation process can cost when billed separately:
When I first started with the functional clinic route myself, the gut testing piece alone cost me $2,190, before supplements: $800 for my intake appointment, $845 for the actual gut testing, and $545 for a follow-up to go over my results. That was just one part of the additional thousands of dollars I spent - and this pricing was years ago!
I loved the video review of my results. You were patient with all my questions and extremely supportive. Being able to go through you to get these tests and not cost an arm and a leg has been life saving. I truly appreciate all that you have done for me!

You've tried everything
And your gut is still running the show.
You've tried probiotics. Maybe more than one kind. You've added fermented foods, bought the expensive bone broth, tried cutting back on sugar or dairy to see if it helped.
Sound familiar?
- The reflux, gas, or burping won't go away - and no probiotic or supplement helps long-term.
- I'm dealing with inflammation, brain fog, cravings, or skin issues.
- I'm self-conscious about bloating that makes me look 5 months pregnant.
- My digestion doesn't improve no matter how healthy I eat.
- I feel like I'm doing everything right, but my body isn't responding.
You're not imagining it. And you're not alone.
When guessing hasn't worked,
a closer look may help.
Your doctor said eat more fiber. That internet forum said fiber's the problem.
One podcast swears by carnivore. The next one says meat is inflaming your gut.
Your friend went low-carb and felt amazing. You went low-carb and felt worse.
Add fermented foods. Avoid fermented foods. Just kidding, only eat them on Tuesdays.
No wonder your gut is confused. You are too.
Here's the thing: the same symptom can come from a dozen different causes. Reflux from H. pylori is a completely different problem than reflux from too much stomach acid - and they need completely different approaches. A diagnosis is a label, not a cause.
That's why the supplements didn't stick. Why the elimination diet worked for a couple of weeks, then didn't. Why your friend's protocol made you feel worse. You weren't doing it wrong - you were working without data.
The GI-MAP® changes that. It's an at-home stool test that uses qPCR technology to help identify the microbes, infections, inflammation markers, and digestive function in your gut right now - so your plan is built on your results, not someone else's.

What you'll actually see
A full picture of what's
happening underneath.
The GI-MAP analyzes over 40 markers across the major categories linked to gut dysfunction - a comprehensive look at your gut microbiome, digestion, inflammation, and immune function in a single at-home stool test.
Beneficial bacteria
Am I low in the good bacteria?
Why did the probiotic that helped your friend do nothing for you? It may come down to what your gut actually needs. You'll see which beneficial strains you're low in - the ones that help keep digestion, immunity, and mood steady.
Opportunistic & pathogenic bacteria
Is something overgrowing?
These can help explain bloating and reflux that supplements never seem to touch. This includes H. pylori, along with other overgrowths that can quietly contribute to inflammation.
Parasites, viruses & fungi
Is something hiding that standard testing misses?
These usually aren't part of routine testing, but they can be linked to unexplained fatigue, skin flares, and digestion issues that never seem to resolve.
Inflammation markers
How inflamed is my gut right now?
Markers like calprotectin help show how much inflammation is happening in your gut right now. That matters because an inflamed gut often needs support first - and it can change where your plan starts.
Digestive function
Am I actually breaking down my food?
We look at enzymes, fat digestion, and other common reasons "eating healthy" can still leave you uncomfortable.
Immune markers
Is my gut's defense system overworked or worn down?
Sometimes your gut's immune system is on "high alert," and other times it's depleted from years of imbalance. This helps show where support may be needed first, before jumping into a "detox."
Why the report alone isn't the answer
- Not every flagged marker is the priority. Some results look urgent on paper but aren't where to start.
- Markers can mean different things together. An overgrowth may look like the obvious target - but if inflammation is high or your gut lining needs support, going after it first can backfire.
- Your symptoms change the story. The same result can matter a lot for one person and very little for another.
That's what interpretation is: figuring out what matters for you, and what order to do things in - so you're not throwing supplements at everything at once and hoping something sticks.
What you'll receive
This is what the lab sends back.
But you're not left to figure it out on your own.
Here are a few sample pages from an actual GI-MAP report, so you can see the format and markers tested.

These numbers above reflect my actual costs at a functional clinic JUST for gut testing and initial appointments! I spent thousands of dollars more in total on other testing and each follow-up appointment, plus supplements. My experience is a big reason why I offer individual lab packages like this now that I am an FDN-P. I've since interpreted hundreds of functional lab tests, helping clients understand their results and what to do next.
How it works
From order to answers,
here's what to expect.
Order your test
After checkout, you'll get an email to set up your secure client portal through Practice Better. Confirm your shipping address there, and your GI-MAP kit is on its way.
Complete your intake
I'll send a personal welcome and your intake form in the portal. Share your health history, symptoms, and goals - and upload recent blood work if you have it - so your results are interpreted in your context.
Collect at home
I'll send my own prep guide - not just the lab's insert - so your sample gives us the clearest picture. Collection takes a few minutes: seal it in the prepaid mailer and drop it in the mail.
Get your plan
About 2-3 weeks after the lab receives your sample, your video walkthrough, written report, and 3+ month plan are delivered to your portal. No call or appointment needed.
The experience was great! Kelly answered any questions I had and was very helpful throughout. The personalized protocol is great and not too many supplements to have to take. I will be doing further testing in the future.

Honesty check
Is this right for you?
This is for you if…
- You have gut symptoms — bloating, reflux, unpredictable bathroom days, food sensitivities that keep multiplying — that haven't resolved no matter what you try
- You're interested in a functional approach and you want to save time (and ultimately money) to get answers
- You're curious if your skin flares, mood changes, and energy crashes might tie back to your gut too
- You've got a long history with antibiotics or restricted diets, and don't know what your gut needs to recover
- You've been told your labs are "normal" but you know something is off
- You want data-driven, root-cause answers based on what's actually happening in your body
- You want a holistic, personalized plan (diet, lifestyle, and short-term supplementation)
This is probably not for you if…
- You want a prescription or antibiotics
- You want weekly 1:1 live calls or visits with your practitioner
- You're currently pregnant or breastfeeding (GI-MAP protocols often aren't appropriate during these stages — HTMA is usually a better starting place)
- Your symptoms are more hormonally driven — worse around your period, tied to perimenopause, or following a cyclical pattern (DUTCH may be a better starting place)
- You are not open to a holistic approach that includes targeted diet and supplement choices, even if your results point there
- You live in New York, New Jersey, or Rhode Island — those states restrict direct-access lab testing, so you can't order through the standard checkout (email me and I'll let you know your options)
About your practitioner
Kelly Shea
FDN-P · Health by the Numbers
I'm a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner who works with people navigating health challenges like bloating, skin issues, fatigue, and digestive symptoms - especially when you've been told "everything looks normal," but you know something still isn't right.
I started in this work the same way many of my clients find me: frustrated.
I spent over a decade stuck in a loop with my own health. Cystic acne. Hormone imbalances. Stubborn weight gain. Losing half my hair. Insomnia that left me exhausted. I was told my labs were "normal," and I should just stop eating carbs. (Spoiler alert: I should not have stopped eating carbs.)
And with my third attempt to try yet another functional clinic, I had to pay to get on a waitlist and wait months for my first appointment, only to spend thousands of dollars to learn my gut was a mess. And that was way before I also learned (during my practitioner certification) my minerals were depleted, my cortisol was tanked after long-term stress I never recovered from, and my histamine levels were out of control.
My experience back then eventually influenced how I built my practice.
I want to make it easier for people to get real answers without months of waiting, multiple appointments, or wondering what the next invoice would be. That's why every testing package I offer is designed to give you more than just numbers from a lab. I personally review your results, record a detailed video explaining how it translates to plain English, and create a personalized plan based on your symptoms and your data - all in a format you can watch on your own time.
With my training as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) and Integrative Health Coach (training from Duke Integrative Medicine) I've helped hundreds of people stop guessing and start understanding what their bodies have been trying to tell them, through functional testing.
I'd love to help you do the same.
In health,
Kelly
A few last questions
What you might still be wondering.
How is this different from what my doctor does?
Your doctor's training is largely built around identifying and ruling out disease. That's genuinely important work, and it's why "everything looks normal" can be true and unhelpful at the same time: it means nothing showed up that meets a diagnostic threshold. It doesn't explain why you're bloated every afternoon, or why your skin flares when you're stressed, or why you're exhausted after eight hours of sleep.
As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, I'm looking at a different layer — how things are functioning, not just whether disease is present. The GI-MAP measures what's actually living in your gut, how well you're breaking down food, how much inflammation is present, and how your gut's immune lining is holding up. Those are patterns of imbalance, not diagnoses.
I always encourage you to keep your doctor in the loop, especially if you're on any medication or monitoring another diagnosis. But my role isn't to diagnose, treat, or prescribe — it's to look at what's quietly out of balance underneath the surface. This is designed to work alongside your medical care, not instead of it. If your symptoms include things like blood in your stool, unexplained weight loss, persistent vomiting, or severe pain, please see your physician first — those warrant a medical evaluation, and no stool panel replaces that.
Does this test for SIBO?
No — and the reason is worth understanding, because this comes up often.
SIBO is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth: bacteria growing where relatively few of them belong. A stool test samples what has already traveled the length of your digestive tract, so it tells us a great deal about the large intestine — but it can't tell us where in the gut something is growing. SIBO is typically assessed with a breath test instead, which measures gases produced when bacteria in the small intestine ferment a sugar you drink. Different question, different tool.
What the GI-MAP does show is the surrounding terrain: pancreatic enzyme output, fat digestion, inflammation, immune activity, and the overall bacterial picture. Those are often part of the context around why an overgrowth develops and persists. For a lot of people that groundwork is a more useful starting point than a yes-or-no on SIBO by itself.
And if your results point that direction, I'll tell you, and we can talk about whether breath testing makes sense as a next step.
What if my results are "normal"?
How many supplements will I end up on?
Fewer supplements than you might expect — and you won't start them all at once. I build protocols around the things your results show will make the biggest difference, not a long list of everything that could theoretically help. The plan introduces them in phases: you might begin with just one or two and add the next as your body settles. If you don't currently take any supplements, that gradual on-ramp matters — you're easing in, not overhauling your routine overnight.
It's not a forever protocol, either. This is a holistic, root-cause approach: diet and lifestyle first, with targeted supplementation as one supporting piece. Each one is chosen from what your results actually show, with a specific job to do, over a defined window — typically 3–4 months — rather than a generic wellness stack or something you take indefinitely. When a gut imbalance has been entrenched for a while, targeted support can be what helps it shift enough for those changes to take hold.
You do get the whole plan up front — that's the DIY-implementation path on purpose: nothing held back, yours to work through at your own pace, which keeps this appointment-free and more affordable. But seeing the full plan and doing it all on day one are two different things. It's laid out in clear phases — what to start with, what comes next, what can wait — and the recorded walkthrough and written report mean you can return to each phase when you reach it, instead of holding it all in your head. If any part of the plan feels like too much, I can help you prioritize what matters most.
Are supplements included in the cost?
Can I just order the test without the interpretation?
Yes. If you already work with a practitioner who reads GI-MAPs, or you're comfortable interpreting it yourself, you can order the test kit on its own for $599.
Here's exactly what that includes: the GI-MAP test with the zonulin (leaky gut) marker, shipping both ways, and your results delivered to you as soon as the lab releases them.
Here's what it doesn't include: the recorded video walkthrough where I go through your results marker by marker, the written report, your custom protocol, follow-up access, or supplement discounts. You'll receive the raw lab report as-is, without interpretation or recommendations from me.
I'll be honest with you about this option — the test itself is the easy part. The GI-MAP report is dense, and most people who order it on their own end up hunting through forums trying to figure out what their numbers mean. That's the part I'd rather save you from. But if you have someone to walk you through it, the test-only route makes sense.
What if I already have GI-MAP results?
Are there payment plans available?
Is this test HSA eligible?
Can I order this no matter where I live?
Can I do this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
What happens after I order?
Do I need to do anything to prepare?
How does the at-home collection work?
How long until I get my results?
How long do I have to use my test after purchasing?
Do I really not have to get on a call?
Correct. I built this format specifically because most of my clients don't have time for one more thing on their calendar. Everything is delivered virtually through your client portal — your results video, your written report, and your personalized plan — so you can absorb it on your time, not on someone else's schedule.
And your questions still get answered. You'll have 48 hours of direct access after receiving results to submit follow-up questions in writing.
What if I have more questions after my 48-hour window?
Still have questions?
One last thing
Your gut has been trying
to tell you something.
You don't have to keep guessing at what it needs. After hundreds of gut panels, here's what I keep seeing: the people who decide to stop guessing and start testing are the ones who finally stop cycling through protocols that don't work.
You can order today and have your kit within a few business days. Answers in a matter of weeks - not months.
