Gut Health

This is great for clients that need some digestive and healing gut work.

Comprehensive Stool Panel

This is an at-home stool collection test with two collections that will give many markers of both digestive function as well as the presence of pathogens.  

The Comprehensive Stool Analysis uses MALDI-TOF technology (not PCR) to detect the presence of pathogenic microorganisms such as yeast, parasites, and bacteria that contribute to chronic illness and neurological dysfunction. The test also evaluates beneficial bacteria levels, intestinal immune function, overall intestinal health, and inflammation markers.  This stool test is also often re-run after the gut work to see the progress made.

We recommend doing this test alongside the MRT food sensitivity panel as it is very important to stop the gut irritation while you are working to heal it.  These foods would the be able to be reintroduced after the healing and eradication work is complete.  

By improving the digestive function and eradicating the pathogens, you would be addressing the WHY behind your gut symptoms as well as minimizing or even eliminating them! 

Who is this for?

  • Stomach pain
  • Gas

What our clients say!

As I spent more time working ON my body, I also realized that what was going IN my body made a difference. I had been diagnosed with Osteoporosis! The first person I called with Katrina. The very first consultation, Katrina figured out quickly that I was eating fairly healthy! However, I was NOT absorbing the minerals and vitamins I was eating! Katrina is so knowledgeable! I don’t get to spend the time with any of the “doctors” or even other naturopaths that I worked with like I do with Katrina. My opinion, after many years of trying to find professional, knowledgeable naturopaths, is that Katrina is the only one I trust! She also walks her talk. I am better today because of her support! I won’t go to anyone else now for any dietary, nutritional supplement advice or health care issues!
Michel Hamada
I really enjoyed working with you and felt very comfortable talking about my issues in an easy relaxed environment. I feel like I got significant relief from my digestive symptoms by taking the supplements you recommended. I also experienced healing in my foot from plantar fasciitis using the many techniques you gave me. Overall I was happy with my experience and outcome and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to a friend.
Tanya Graves
I have spent two decades trying every kind of treatment under the sun with little to no results. In less than one year of treatment with Katrina, my hormone levels have come way up, most of the bacteria in my gut is gone, my severe itching has stopped, my inflammation is way down, my energy has returned, my brain fog is gone, my nails are growing again and more. While I still have things to work on, Katrina has a clear path in place and I have no doubt that I will see great results. She has worked tirelessly to get to the root of my issues and her endless dedication is evidence that I have found a practitioner who cares not only about my health results but also about increasing my quality of life.
