You’ve cut out gluten.
You’ve tried probiotics.
So why does your gut still feel off?

There is a reason your digestion keeps reacting. Stop restricting everything. Start finding out why your gut keeps reacting.

This may be you if...

Your gut feels unpredictable, but no one can explain why.

You are not imagining it. Your gut has not been fully evaluated.

This may be you if

  • You feel bloated after meals no matter how healthy you eat, or you start the day flat and end it swollen.
  • You deal with constipation, diarrhea, reflux, or digestion you cannot predict, or you were told it is IBS and left to manage it.Your food list keeps getting smaller, and you feel better for a few weeks before symptoms come back.
  • Probiotics, enzymes, fiber, or elimination diets gave limited results.
  • Your stomach gets worse when you are stressed, and fatigue, brain fog, or skin flare-ups came with it.
  • Your testing was called normal, but your gut does not feel normal.

Your gut is reacting for a reason. Let's find out why, without restricting everything.

Why this is different

Normal scope. Still not normal.

A colonoscopy and a standard panel are designed to find structural disease and major abnormalities, and they do that well. They are not designed to describe digestive function, microbial patterns, or inflammation at the level a functional workup considers. HFW starts by confirming that conventional evaluation is complete, then selects testing that could actually change the plan.

Detecting an organism or a flagged marker does not automatically mean it is causing your symptoms or needs treatment. Results are read alongside your history, diet, medications, and other evaluation. Treating every finding is a common mistake, and one HFW deliberately avoids.

How it works

Test, correct, rebuild, maintain

Gut restoration is not a seven-day reset. It is a rebuilding process, and the order matters.

1Free consultation.Your symptoms, what you have tried, and how you responded.

A free telehealth call with an advanced care clinician to review your digestive symptoms, health history, what you have already tried, and whether conventional evaluation is complete. If your presentation needs conventional diagnosis or specialist care, HFW refers.

2Testing and the Health Blueprint.GI-MAP at home, plus bloodwork and TruHealth when they change a decision.

GI-MAP is an at-home stool collection that looks at selected microbes and pathogens, digestive function, gut inflammation, immune activity, and barrier-related markers. Bloodwork adds inflammatory, nutrient, thyroid, and metabolic context, and TruHealth gives a whole-body baseline to measure change against. Your clinician interprets it all together and builds a prioritized plan. See the testing →

3Correct and rebuild.Digestion, microbiome, inflammation, stress, sleep, nutrients.

The findings that matter for you are addressed in a deliberate order: digestive function and absorption, microbial balance, inflammation, the stress and cortisol patterns that affect motility and repair, and the nutrient gaps that poor absorption leaves behind. Food strategy is built to widen your list over time, not shrink it.

4Optimize and maintain.Retest, review, and adjust as the gut settles.

As bowel regularity, bloating, and food tolerance change, the plan changes with them. Selected supplements, and advanced therapies when clinically appropriate, are added only where the evidence and the monitoring plan support them. Members retest with TruHealth each quarter with a scheduled clinician review. See membership →

What we monitor along the way

Ten things we track, not one symptom

Progress is read across symptoms and markers together, reviewed with you as the gut settles.

  • Bloating pattern
  • Bowel regularity
  • Food tolerance
  • GI-MAP markers
  • Inflammatory markers
  • Nutrient status
  • Immune reactivity
  • Cortisol and stress patterns
  • Hormone patterns
  • Symptoms and energy

Microbiome balance, pathogens and overgrowth, gut barrier integrity, and digestive function are what GI-MAP reads. Metabolic health and cellular energy are part of the picture too, because blood sugar, inflammation, and gut function influence each other.

What We Evaluate Why It Matters
Microbiome Balance
Dysbiosis can affect digestion, inflammation, immune activity, metabolism, and gut-brain signaling.
Pathogens & Overgrowth
Hidden bacterial, parasitic, or fungal patterns may contribute to bloating, discomfort, irregular stools, and inflammation.
Gut Barrier Integrity
Intestinal permeability markers may help explain food sensitivity patterns, immune activation, and systemic symptoms.
Digestive Function
Enzyme output, protein breakdown, fat digestion, and absorption all affect how well your body uses food.
Inflammation
Gut inflammation can drive bloating, fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, immune activation, and metabolic dysfunction.
Nutrient Status
Poor absorption can leave you deficient even when you eat well or take supplements.
Stress & Cortisol Patterns
Chronic stress can affect motility, gut repair, reflux, inflammation, sleep, and the gut-brain connection.
Hormonal Health
Thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol can influence digestion, bowel regularity, and inflammation.
Mitochondrial Function
Your gut lining and digestive system require cellular energy to repair, regulate, and function well.
Metabolic Health
Blood sugar, insulin, inflammation, and gut health often influence each other more than most patients realize.

Frequently Asked Questions

GI-MAP is a stool-based molecular test that measures selected microbes and pathogens, H. pylori, digestive function markers, gut inflammation markers, immune activity, and intestinal barrier-related markers depending on the panel. HFW uses it for selected patients when the result could change diet, supplement, conventional workup, referral, or monitoring priorities. It does not explain every symptom on its own.

GI-MAP is $813 for nonmembers, covering the test and the clinician review together. Longevity Membership members are entitled to additional discounts. GI-MAP is also included in the $1,250 Health Blueprint and in the $1,050 TruHealth plus GI-MAP package.

Yes, and it is a common situation. A colonoscopy and a standard panel are designed to find structural disease and major abnormalities, and they do that well. They are not designed to describe digestive function, microbial patterns, or inflammation at the level a functional workup considers. HFW starts by confirming that conventional evaluation is complete and appropriate, then selects testing that could change the plan. If your presentation suggests something needing conventional diagnosis, HFW refers.

No. Detecting an organism or a marker does not automatically prove causation, disease, or the need for treatment. Results are interpreted alongside your symptoms, history, diet, medications, and other evaluation. Treating every detected finding is a common mistake and one HFW deliberately avoids.

Digestive function can be one contributor among several to energy, cognition, skin, and hormone-related symptoms, and evaluating it can be worthwhile when symptoms span more than one system. That is different from claiming the gut explains everything. HFW treats it as a possible contributor to investigate, not a definitive answer.

Probiotics and elimination diets are reasonable first steps, but they are usually applied generically. HFW’s approach is to define the specific question first, review what you have already tried and how you responded, select testing when the result would change the plan, then prioritize. Sometimes the useful finding is not what you expected, and sometimes the right next step is conventional evaluation rather than another supplement.

HFW can help investigate these symptoms and build a prioritized plan. That is different from diagnosing or treating a specific disease. Any presentation that suggests a condition requiring conventional diagnosis, urgent evaluation, or specialist care is referred, and HFW does not replace gastroenterology care.

Generally, someone with persistent digestive symptoms, someone whose symptoms span multiple systems, or someone in corrective care where a gut finding could change diet, supplement, referral, or monitoring priorities. Not everyone needs it. If the result would not change what your clinician does next, it is not worth buying.

Yes. GI-MAP is an at-home collection. HFW mails you a kit, you collect the sample at home following the instructions provided, and you mail it back to the laboratory. There is no lab visit required.

Depending on the panel, selected microbes and pathogens, H. pylori, markers of digestive function, markers of gut inflammation, immune activity, and markers related to intestinal barrier function. What it measures and what it means are two different things, and the second requires clinical interpretation.

No. Detecting an organism or an elevated marker does not automatically establish the need for treatment. Treating every detected finding is a common error, and it is one HFW deliberately avoids.

Because the report contains a lot of individually flagged values, and reacting to each one produces an overwhelming and often unnecessary plan. Interpretation means deciding which findings matter for you, in what order, and whether any of them point toward conventional evaluation instead.
