Gut Renewal Program
Gut Renewal Program
Paid in full: $2,900
(Payment Plans Available and HSA/FSA Payment Accepted)
The gut not only dictates digestive health, but also impacts our immune system, metabolism, hormone balance, brain and mental health. When factors like microbial imbalances, pathogens, chronic stress, and poor diet inflame the delicate gut ecosystem, symptoms can arise all across the body.
This is why our holistic, root-approach to optimizing health starts with the gut. Through advanced functional lab testing, we will explore your gut microbiome, digestive function, and food sensitivities. These insights will inform your custom protocols and help you heal from the inside-out.
To learn more about your health concerns and walk you through our process, we’ll meet for a 30-minute complimentary intake call to get started.

This package includes 4 protocols: a pre-test, main, updated, and final protocol.
Based on your intake forms and discovery call, we craft an initial protocol with foundational recommendations that support your body while we await test results.
The main protocol is a comprehensive, lab-based protocol that includes tailored recommendations for optimizing nutrition, supporting detoxification, regulating the nervous system, managing internal and external stressors, and utilizing targeted supplementation to restore balance and promote overall well-being.
After our follow-up session, we will provide an updated protocol based on progress and needs.
As we wrap up our 4 months together, we will craft a final protocol to support your progress and provide a clear path for maintaining your results.

This 30-minute intake call allows us to walk through your current health concerns and explore your health history and current lifestyle. As we dive deeper with functional lab testing, we use this information to contextualize your results and build a plan suited to you.

Our onboarding process ensures we get a full picture of your health. It includes a 30-minute intake call and in-depth questionnaires covering your health history, symptoms, diet, lifestyle, and stressors.

GI MAP
At Wholistic Renewal, we love using the Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP) because it provides unparalleled insight into gut health, allowing us to get to the root of your health issues and craft a targeted, personalized protocol for you.
This advanced, at-home stool test is one of the most powerful tools in functional medicine for restoring balance and optimizing gut health. Since the gut is at the center of skin, hormone, immune and mental health, this test is foundational for every healing protocol.
The GI MAP gives a detailed look at your microbiome, detecting harmful bacteria, parasites, viruses, and other disruptions that may be impacting your health. This functional test also measures indicators of digestion, absorption, inflammation, and immune function.
Markers: Opportunistic microbes, commensal keystone bacteria, pathogens, viruses, fungi, H. Pylori, parasites, Beta-Glucuronidase, Occult Blood, Calprotectin, Steatocrit, Elastase, SIgA, and Anti-gliadin IgA.

Mediator Release Test
When it comes to healing, reducing inflammation is essential. The Mediator Release Test (MRT) uncovers hidden inflammation triggers that often go undetected by traditional testing.
Developed by Oxford Biomedical Technologies, this patented test analyzes your immune system's reaction to up to 176 foods and chemicals, providing an invaluable tool to identify inflammation-provoking items.
Unlike IgA or IgG tests, the MRT explores subclinical inflammation, which can cause subtle but chronic symptoms like digestive discomfort, headaches, joint pain, and fatigue, even when no immediate allergic response is present.
By quantifying your body’s inflammatory response with a rating and green/yellow/red score, the MRT provides an accurate picture of which foods your body tolerates best and which are contributing to your symptoms. This allows us to create highly personalized, anti-inflammatory protocols that reduce your inflammation at the root, and accelerate your healing by leaps and bounds.
