What Is a Functional Gut Microbiome Test?
A functional gut microbiome test evaluates the ecosystem of bacteria, yeast, and microbes that live in your digestive tract. At Elevate, we use this test to uncover underlying imbalances contributing to fatigue, GI distress, inflammation, or weakened immunity.
What Is a Biome Analysis?
A biome analysis is a broader investigation into how your gut interacts with your immune system, nervous system, and other body systems. It’s not just about digestion—it’s about everything your gut influences, including blood sugar, hormones, and your brain function
At Elevate, we analyze gut flora, GI lining health, and markers of inflammation and microbial diversity. Your gut biome affects everything from sleep quality and mental clarity to skin health and autoimmune reactivity. This analysis helps us form a complete, root-cause view of your symptoms.
What Does a Microbiome Test Include?
When you complete your microbiome test at Elevate Health & Wellness, your results will include:
- A stool sample analysis
- A measure of inflammation and immunity health markers
- Identification of pathogenic or opportunistic bacteria
- Evaluation of gut flora diversity
- Screening for yeast overgrowth and parasites
We then fold your results into a wellness plan built on Nutrition, Movement, and Restoration, tailored specifically to your health goals and lifestyle.
How Long Does It Take to Get Gut Biome Test Results?
Typically, you can expect results within 2–3 weeks after submitting your sample. Once received, you’ll meet with Dr. Crystal Dickerson and our team to review the findings in a clear, compassionate, and empowering way.
Our follow-up sessions are designed to educate, not overwhelm, so you feel informed and confident moving forward.
What Are the Signs That You May Need Gut Microbiome Testing?
You may benefit from gut health testing if you experience:
- Bloating, constipation, or diarrhea
- Fatigue despite adequate sleep
- Frequent illness or poor immunity
- Skin conditions like acne or eczema
- Brain fog or mood changes
- Food sensitivities or autoimmune symptoms
If any of these sound familiar, we encourage you to explore gut microbiome testing with our functional medicine practice.
What Preparation Is Needed Before Gut Biome Testing?
Before your gut biome test, our team will guide you through simple preparation steps, including:
- Whether to pause probiotics or certain medications
- When and how to collect your stool sample
Everything is explained clearly, no guesswork required.
What Symptoms Can Gut Biome Testing Help With?
Functional gut testing can provide insight into symptoms such as:
- IBS, constipation, or gas
- Chronic fatigue or burnout
- Anxiety and depression tied to gut-brain imbalance
- Skin conditions like acne or eczema
- Autoimmune flares and low-grade inflammation
- Brain fog and memory problems
If traditional care hasn’t addressed these issues, a comprehensive gut analysis may reveal the hidden causes.
What Lifestyle Changes Are Recommended After Testing?
After testing, we create a personalized gut health plan that includes:
- Sustainable movement strategies
- Nutritional changes focused on diversity and nourishment, and removal of foods that are the root cause of your body’s inflammation
- Sleep restoration tactics (both routine and hygiene)
- Supplement support, if necessary
- Coaching and check-ins from Coach Neill to help implement changes gradually
