Are you navigating mysterious gut issues, only to be told everything looks “normal”? Erin walks us through a real client case that sheds light on what standard GI testing often misses. After 20 years of stomach pain, bloating, rosacea, and food reactions, a functional stool analysis finally gave this woman answers.

Erin breaks down the six major findings from the client’s GI Map stool test, including H. pylori, low commensal bacteria, opportunistic overgrowths, low digestive enzymes, sky-high immune markers, and gluten reactivity. You’ll hear how each result connects to her symptoms and how traditional medicine overlooked all of it.

Erin also speaks candidly about why physical healing must be addressed alongside emotional and energetic work and what realistic healing timelines really look like when you're working with a functional provider.

In this episode:
