Four Functional Pillars

Pertinent biomarkers have been grouped into four clinically actionable areas:

Four Functional Pillars Biomarker Map

  1. Infection
  2. Inflammation
  3. Insufficiency
  4. Imbalance

The four functional pillars utilize a proprietary algorithm to evaluate key clinical markers in the four functional areas. The algorithm takes into account the level of each individual biomarker and its degree of clinical impact. As a result, an overall score of high, medium, or low is provided for each functional pillar. The score is represented by color-coded icons and informational graphics.

The specific biomarkers of concern that are utilized to establish the results for each functional pillar are listed in the Four Functional Pillars Biomarker Map.

One of the first questions we ask is:

What is growing in your Gastrointestinal Tract?

  • Fungus/Yeast/Candida
  • Bacteria
  • Parasites
  • Pathogens
  • Protective organisms

Your gastrointestinal tract is one of the major foundations to health.

If no intervention is introduced for several years, then the Gut Bacteria (intestinal lumen) starts to break down creating leaky gut syndrome.  The GI lining becomes pores and bacteria and other biofilms start to enter and attack other barriers in the body like the Arteries and Brain.  This abundant attack on the GI tract can create many symptoms:  These are jut a few.

  • Brain Fog
  • Forgetfulness
  • Allergies
  • Fatigue
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease
  • Skin rashes or sensitive
  • Chemical Sensitives
  • Increased Autoimmune risk

Healthy Gut, Leaky Gut

IWRC performs lab testing to uncover defects in the Microbiome

Dr John will check for healthy defense, digestion, gut immunity, inflammation, detects blood, and leaky gut.

Our goal is to support you in balancing your Microbiome. Eradicating overgrowth of bacteria, yeast, candida, parasites and other undesirable micro organisms. Improving digestion, decreasing inflammation, promoting growth in the intestinal lumen, sealing the leaky gut and increasing immunity. Then Total Gut Restoration, rebuilding the Gut Microbiome decreasing risks for disease. Call us now 901-763-7006 to schedule your Comprehensive GI lab test and learn more about the underlying causes of your Gastrointestinal Symptoms.

Lab Testing: Uncover the Cause of your Gastrointestinal (GI) Symptoms

The GI Effects Stool Profiles are a suite of advanced stool tests that provide immediate, actionable clinical information for the management of gastrointestinal health. Utilizing cutting-edge technologies and biomarkers, these profiles offer valuable insight into digestive function, intestinal inflammation, and the intestinal microbiome. The overview pages make results interpretation quicker and easier, to prioritize treatment and assess microbiome status.

The health of the entire body is dependent on a healthy gut and gut microbiome. Gut microbes are codependent with one another and with their human host, and the health of one affects the other. A sizeable volume of research associates a dysbiotic, or imbalanced gut microbiome with multiple disease states both within and outside of the GI tract. [19,20,21] The diverse metabolic activities of the microbiome ultimately impact the human host, and the activities of the human host ultimately affect the health of their microbiome.

The GI Effects Stool Profiles can reveal important information about the root cause of many common gastrointestinal symptoms and non-GI conditions including:

  • Gas
  • Bloating
  • Indigestion/ reflux
  • Abdominal pain/ cramps
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) [1,2]
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) [3,4]
  • Atopic dermatitis/ eczema [5,6]
  • Allergies [5]
  • Autoimmune diseases [7,8]
  • Mood disorders (depression) [9,10]
  • Joint aches [11,12]
  • Diabetes [13,14,15]
  • Weight issues [15,16,17,18]
