Introduction
If you’ve read our previous blogs on gut health and intestinal permeability, you may be wondering how to know if poor gut health is to blame for your symptoms. This is where the Gut Zoomer Test by Vibrant Wellness comes in to help us get to the root of the problem. In this blog, we’ll explain who would benefit from the Gut Zoomer test, how the process works, and what the results can tell us about your gut health.

If you have any of these symptoms, you may be experiencing poor gut health:

The Test Process
First, we will order the Gut Zoomer test for you. Once it arrives, you will scan a QR code to activate the kit. You will then need to collect a stool sample at home, using the equipment provided in the kit. Once you have collected the sample, you’ll need to ship it immediately. Results will be available in 2-3 weeks.
What does the Gut Zoomer Measure?
The Gut Zoomer test is a highly accurate, science-backed test. It tests for over 300 microorganisms and markers, including:
- Bacteria
- Yeast
- Viruses
- Fungi, and
- Parasites
- Antibiotic resistant genes
- Inflammatory markers
- Ability to digest and absorb nutrients
From there, you will receive an analysis of these microorganisms and markers compared to ideal levels.
Going Over Your Results
We will go over your results with you. These results include personalized recommendations for supplements that may be beneficial, as well as nutrition and lifestyle changes to make.
Test, Don’t Guess
Our motto is test, don’t guess. In the long run, it’s less expensive and more efficient to test for the root cause, rather than spending lots of money guessing which supplements to take without much of a result. Many of our clients have spent years dealing with symptoms without much relief. This test allows us to look under the hood and pinpoint what’s going on so you can start healing.
