Solve the Gut Health Puzzle

This course is for licensed medical professionals seeking to be at the forefront of functional wellness and certified health practitioners ready to add new services that support your clients' gut health more effectively.

What is the GI-MAP?
What is the GI-MAP Test?
The GI-MAP (GI Microbial Assay Plus) is a DNA based stool test that provides practitioners with a detailed analysis of the gastrointestinal microbiome including pathogenic bacteria, commensal bacteria, opportunistic parasites, fungi, and viruses.
Why is it Effective?Why is the GI-MAP test so effective?
Quantitative Results
Accurately assessing how much of an organism's DNA is present is essential for helping practitioners to determine its clinical significance.
Reliability & Reproducibility
Using qPCR technology provides high levels of sensitivity, specificity, and consistently reproducible results.
Personalized Protocols
Protocols guide patients through removing pathogens, repopulating healthy gut bacteria, repairing the gut lining, and rebalancing their lifestyle.
Why would your client benefit from a GI-MAP test?
Almost everyone can benefit from a GI-MAP gut health assessment. Some clients are looking to achieve optimal health, while others have been chronically ill and frustrated without a diagnosis for years.
Overwhelmingly, research indicates that gut health impacts overall health. The gut microbiome, in particular, plays a critical role in digestion and nutrient absorption. It also affects mood, sleep, hormones, immune function, and overall systemic wellness. Assessing GI health with the most accurate tools can help practitioners get to the root cause of chronic illness.

What Practitioners are Saying
This course has changed my life and completely changed the way that I help people approach their health and wellness.
“While practicing medicine in the conventional health model, I started noticing a common trend of "diagnose and prescribe" with no real efforts to help patients PREVENT. I started recognizing that I was participating in "sick" care instead of "health" care. I started feeling very discouraged when patients would ask for more answers and all I could give them in return were prescription bandaids. [...] A colleague recommended that I look into functional medicine and specifically recommended [...] the Mastering GI Mapping course. This course has changed my life and completely changed the way that I help people approach their health and wellness. It all begins in the gut! After completing this course I had the courage to start my own consulting practice, Holistic Healing, LLC. With my private consulting I am able to spend hours with my clients educating them about nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset, and I am finally helping people HEAL and be well without the bandaids. This is what I imagined working in healthcare would be like. I am now living my dream thanks to this course!"

The GI Mapping course has been key to my ability to support my gut health clients.
“The clear and concise presentation as well as slides with very clear recommended supplementing protocol support has allowed me to help my clients navigate a journey to improved health. I found it especially helpful to have case study reviews in order to see what a protocol looks like in real time. The sharing of information through the community and with Eliza has been great when I’ve had a particularly challenging client.

The GI Mapping course has changed my perspective...
...on the dis-ease of the body and my approach to healing! I am so happy I locked arms with Eliza's team! As a chiropractor, I have always taken the holistic approach when addressing the body and its symptoms, but because of the GI-MAP, I am able to take a step further into my patient's health and wellbeing and truly create change in their lives that I couldn't do prior to GI Mapping! Thank you Eliza and Julie for giving me the tools to reconstruct lives! I am forever grateful!!
- Dr. Perry
The GI Mapping course has really broadened my horizons exponentially.
Not only did it up-leveled my understanding of the gut microbiome, but it also helped me understand how to create a plan of action for my clients that thoroughly addresses up-stream imbalances. Providing the GI-MAP to my clients has revolutionized my business, my client outcomes, and has allowed me to finally quit my job as a nurse and solely focus on my clients.”

About Your Instructor
I have successfully grown my individual wellness business by offering GI-MAP testing. By tackling difficult cases independently, I realized the benefit of applying my research and experience. I created this course as a resource to help you incorporate GI Mapping into your practice or to start a virtual practice like mine. Taking this course will streamline your learning and give you access to a community of practitioners to connect with and share knowledge, similar to my own experience. I have 16 years of experience in intensive care as a nurse and acute care nurse practitioner. After leaving my position in the intensive care unit I transition to wellness/functional based practice which has been my primary focus the last 8 years. My goal is to make sure people rarely need the ICU and can discover wellness through education and functional labs. This course is here to help you do the same!

What clients say about a GI-MAP experience
I lost 13lbs just by fixing my gut! Thank you!
“I knew I had gut issues for a long time. I was always bloated, indigestion, gas, and constipation. I did not know how much your weight was connected. I took all the supplements you gave me but honestly didn’t do the diet changes like I should have. I cannot believe that I lost 13 lbs just by fixing my gut!
Thank you!”
