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. You've asked your doctor about it and been told your labs look "normal" — or handed an IBS diagnosis and sent home with no real plan.
If any of this sounds familiar...
- • You're bloated no matter what you eat, and it's worst by evening
- • You have unpredictable digestion — some days fine, some days miserable, with no pattern you can figure out
- • You get reflux, gas, or burping that supplements don't seem to fix
- • You've noticed foods you used to tolerate now bother you
- • You feel like every gut protocol works for a week or two, then stops
- • Your skin, mood, or energy feel connected to your gut, but you can't prove it
- • You're tired of being your own science experiment
You're not imagining it. Your gut is trying to tell you something — and guessing at what it needs hasn't worked because guesses aren't data.
Here's what most people miss
Your gut isn't a mystery.
It's a data problem.
Most gut protocols you've tried were built on symptom-matching: you have bloating, so try this probiotic. You have reflux, so take a PPI. You have IBS, so…
Eat more fiber. Eat less fiber.
Eat less meat. Just kidding, go carnivore. No, go plant-based.
Cut FODMAPs. Add fermented foods. Avoid fermented foods.
No wonder your gut is confused. You are too.
But the same symptom can come from a dozen different underlying causes. Reflux from H. pylori is a completely different problem than reflux from too much stomach acid. "IBS" is a label — not a cause. And without knowing what's actually happening in your gut, every protocol is a guess.
This is why the supplements didn't stick. Why the elimination diets might give you a couple good weeks and then stop working. Why the protocol that worked for your friend made you feel worse. You weren't doing it wrong — you were just working without data.
The GI-MAP changes the conversation. It's a stool test that uses DNA-level technology (qPCR) to identify the actual microbes, infections, inflammation markers, and digestive function happening in your gut right now — so instead of guessing, you can see.
And instead of waiting weeks for a doctor's appointment just to walk out with a prescription — or at best, a rushed list of supplements you don't even know what they do — you get a recorded video walkthrough of your specific results, explaining what they mean, what matters most, and exactly what to do next.
What you'll actually see
A full picture of what's
happening underneath.
The GI-MAP analyzes over 40 markers across the major categories that drive gut dysfunction — a complete picture of your microbiome, digestion, inflammation, and immune function in a single at-home test.
Beneficial Bacteria
Is your microbiome population actually healthy? We'll see the commensal strains that keep digestion, immunity, and mood in balance.
Opportunistic & Pathogenic Bacteria
Including H. pylori — the most common cause of ulcers — along with overgrowths that drive bloating, reflux, and inflammation.
Parasites, Viruses & Fungi
Often missed on standard testing, these are frequent drivers of stubborn gut symptoms, skin flares, and unexplained fatigue.
Inflammation Markers
Like calprotectin — a direct measure of how inflamed your gut is right now, not a guess based on symptoms.
Digestive Function
Are you actually breaking down and absorbing your food? Enzymes, fat digestion, and stomach acid function are all assessed.
Immune Markers
Like secretory IgA — your gut's immune front line. Low or high tells us very different things about what's happening.
The difference: you're getting a lab-grade gut panel shipped to your door — and the interpretation comes as a recorded video you can rewatch as many times as you want.

GI-MAP Test + Practitioner Interpretation + Personalized Plan
$799
Results in 2–3 weeks after lab received your sample
Is this worth it?
$799 sounds like a lot.
Here's the honest math.
If you've already spent months (or years) guessing — the elimination diets that didn't stick, the probiotics that ended up in a drawer, the expensive cleanses, the doctor visits at $300+ plus lab costs — you've likely already spent much more than $799 on not-knowing.
Most functional health offerings (including some of my own) are bundled into longer-term programs — memberships, multi-month packages, or signature coaching programs. Those make sense if you're looking for ongoing 1:1 support and accountability over months. But if you mostly want clarity — the test, the interpretation, the plan — without committing to a full program, that's exactly what this package is for.
This package gives you:
- ✓ The test itself, with free expedited shipping ($600+ or more elsewhere, plus shipping costs and slower turnaround)
- ✓ No separate intake appointment — your health history is collected through digital forms instead of an appointment just for intake ($300–$500+ plus months of waitlists at many functional clinics)
- ✓ Professional interpretation of your results ($300+ at most clinics, where you sit through a one-time appointment trying to remember everything they said)
- → Yours: a recorded video you can rewatch as often as you need.
- ✓ Zonulin / leaky gut marker included (typically a $95 add-on) — adds intestinal permeability assessment so you're not paying for a second test later
- ✓ A custom plan built for you (instead of waiting — and paying — for one or two more separate appointments)
- ✓ Priority direct access for 48 hours after your results — instead of waiting 2–3 weeks and another appointment cost to ask a question, you get quick written answers to your follow-up questions
- ✓ Ongoing Fullscript + Cellcore supplement discounts — yours to keep, often $150–300+ in savings on a typical 3-month gut protocol alone
All this for $799. Delivered without having to make a single appointment.
You're not paying for a test. You're paying for answers — and a plan you can actually follow.
A note on availability
I take on a limited number
of GI-MAPs each month.
If you've been sitting on the fence about this, every week of waiting is another week of not-knowing. The sooner you collect, the sooner you have real answers.
The video review was nice. I liked that I had it available to watch several times and take my time understanding the information. Kelly did a great job walking through the lab results. All the recommendations were realistic to follow and not overwhelming.
— Corey
The question everyone asks
"What if my results come back normal?"
In hundreds of labs I've interpreted, I have yet to see a GI MAP that didn't reveal something actionable.
Sometimes it's an obvious driver — H. pylori, a parasite, low beneficial bacteria, an inflammation marker that finally explains the bloating. Sometimes it's quieter — digestive enzymes that aren't pulling their weight, a secretory IgA that's tanked from years of stress, a zonulin elevation that points straight at why your skin keeps flaring.
Even the cleanest reports tell us something useful: they rule out specific causes and sharpen where to look next. That's still progress you can't get from another guess.
You will not walk away from this with nothing.
How it works
From order to answers,
here's what to expect.
Order your test
Complete checkout and your GI-MAP kit will be on its way. You'll receive an email inviting you to set up your secure client portal through Practice Better.
Complete your intake
Watch for a few short forms in your portal — your health history, symptoms, and goals. These give me the full picture so your results are interpreted in your context, not just lab values. You'll also receive detailed instructions on how to prepare for collection.
Collect at home
When your kit arrives, collect a stool sample at your convenience and drop it in the prepaid mailer. No lab visit, no appointment, no waiting room.
Get your plan
About 2–3 weeks after the lab receives your sample, you'll receive a recorded video walkthrough of your results, a detailed written report, and a personalized 3+ month plan — including supplement recommendations from professional-grade brands I trust (discounted for you through Fullscript + Cellcore). All delivered digitally. No call or appointment required – just direct written support when you need it.
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
- ✓ The skin flares, the mood dips, the energy crashes — you've started to suspect they all trace back to your gut, and you're done writing it off as a coincidence.
- ✓ You've got a long history with antibiotics, restricted diets, or both — and you suspect your gut never fully bounced back.
- ✓ You've been told your labs are "normal" but feel anything but
- ✓ You want data-driven, root-cause answers, based on what's actually happening in your body
- ✓ You're tired of rushed appointments where you feel unheard — you want results delivered in a format you can actually absorb, on your time
- ✓ You want a personalized plan (diet, lifestyle, and short-term supplementation) to help rebalance your gut based on your results
This is probably not for you if...
- ✕ You want a quick fix — a round of antibiotics, a prescription, or one supplement to "just make it stop"
- ✕ 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 follow a cyclical pattern (DUTCH may be a better starting place)
- ✕ You feel like you've already tried everything and aren't open to a fresh approach — even one built specifically from your results.
The experience was great! Kelly answered any questions I had and was very helpful throughout. The personalized protocol is great because it's within a good budget and not too many to have to take. I will be doing further testing in the future.

About the practitioner
Kelly Shea
FDN-P · Health by the Numbers
I'm a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner who works with women navigating exactly what you're navigating right now.
I started in this work the same way most of my clients find me — frustrated. It took me years to figure out what was going on with my own body: cystic acne, hormone imbalances, stubborn weight gain, losing half my hair, insomnia that wrecked me. I'd been told my labs were "fine" while my symptoms told a different story. I'd tried elimination diets, probiotics, and doctor visits — even naturopathic ones — that ended with "cut carbs," "move more," or a prescription I didn't want to take. I felt like no one truly understood what I was going through — like I was just supposed to accept feeling this way.
When I finally discovered functional testing — including a GI-MAP — I got real answers in a matter of weeks. Not perfect answers, not a miracle, but data. And from that data, a plan that actually made sense for my body. If I'd started here in the beginning, I would have saved myself years of time, money, and frustration.
That's the work I do now. Over the last several years, I've interpreted hundreds of functional lab panels for women looking for the same kind of clarity. The recorded video format exists because most of my clients don't have time for another scheduled call — they need real answers, delivered in a way that fits their life.
In health,
Kelly
