GI MAP Stool Testing

GI MAP Stool Testing - What is it?

The gut is the foundation of your health.

At Body Bliss Nutrition, Jennifer Clemente uses GI-MAP Stool Testing – a cutting-edge diagnostic tool – to uncover the root causes of chronic symptoms, inflammation, and digestive imbalances.

This advanced test allows Jennifer to create highly personalized protocols that support true healing from the inside out.

GI MAP Stool Testing

The GI-Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP) is a DNA-based stool test that provides a comprehensive view of your gut microbiome. It detects pathogenic bacteria, parasites, viruses, yeast, and markers of gut inflammation, leaky gut, and immune activity. Unlike standard stool tests, GI-MAP uses quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology to deliver accurate and actionable data about your digestive and immune health.  

By assessing your microbiome at the DNA level, Jennifer can identify imbalances long before they show up on traditional labs—allowing for earlier and more precise intervention.

Jennifer’s GI MAP Stool Testing

Jennifer’s signature approach includes three clear and supportive phases designed for lasting change.

You can’t fix what you can’t see. That’s why GI-MAP is the cornerstone of functional gut healing.” Many clients come in thinking their gut is ‘fine.’ The GI-MAP often reveals hidden imbalances that change the entire healing path.
Test & Analyze
Jennifer begins with a comprehensive review of your symptoms and orders the GI-MAP test kit, which is completed in the comfort of your home. Once results are received, she performs an in-depth analysis of over 30 key markers, identifying gut pathogens, microbial overgrowths, and signs of inflammation or immune dysregulation.
Personalized Protocol Design
Based on your results, Jennifer develops a custom multi week protocol to rebalance your gut. This often includes antimicrobial or antifungal botanicals, targeted probiotics, digestive support, and gut-healing nutrients. You’ll also receive a tailored nutrition plan to support detoxification and microbial harmony.
Rebuild & Optimize
After the initial protocol, Jennifer helps you rebuild your microbiome with long-term strategies. This phase focuses on repopulating beneficial bacteria, supporting immune function, and establishing a sustainable diet and lifestyle to maintain gut health and prevent relapse.
