In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams discusses his recent experience with a GI mapping test. After suffering from a severe stomach flu that led to unexpected food allergies to chicken and eggs, Brad pursued a GI mapping test recommended by his DPC (Direct Primary Care) doctor to investigate ongoing digestive issues.
Brad explains how the GI mapping test works, involving a stool sample analyzed for various bacteria levels, both good and bad. His results indicated an overgrowth of H. pylori, along with other bacteria like Morganella, Pseudomonas, and Streptococcus, though not at dangerous levels. His test also showed a low score in digestive enzymes, indicating poor nutrient absorption, and a high immune response marker due to the H. pylori infection.
Given the options of antibiotics or a supplement regimen to address these issues, Brad chose the supplement route to avoid disrupting his gut microbiome further. He plans to retest in two months using a breath test for H. pylori and will journal his progress.
Brad emphasizes the importance of seeking multiple medical opinions and exploring both traditional and holistic approaches to health. He concludes by expressing optimism about future advancements in the fitness and health industry, driven by AI technology, and offers a free 15-minute consultation for listeners.
He plans to update listeners on his progress in a future episode.
