The Comprehensive Leaky Gut Health Analysis is a specialized stool test designed to evaluate the intestinal permeability and microbiome health, which play a vital role in cognitive function, behavior, and neurodevelopment. This test measures the levels of zonulin, a key marker of leaky gut syndrome, along with other bacteria, fungi, and immune markers to assess the condition of the intestinal mucosa.
Gut imbalances can affect children with autism, ADHD, and neurodevelopmental disorders by triggering inflammation and impairing nutrient absorption through the gut-brain axis. A healthy, impermeable intestinal lining is essential for brain development, behavior regulation, and overall well-being. The stool sample collected at home provides a comprehensive view of gut health, ensuring personalized interventions to support optimal cognitive and emotional outcomes.

What the Test Analyzes and Why It Matters for Brain Health

1. Zonulin – Key Marker of Leaky Gut
•Zonulin: This protein regulates the permeability of the intestinal mucosa. Elevated zonulin levels indicate leaky gut syndrome, which allows toxins to pass into the bloodstream, leading to neuroinflammation. High zonulin levels are often linked to conditions such as:
o Diabetes Type 1
o Autoimmune diseases
o Celiac disease
o Multiple sclerosis
o Rheumatoid arthritis
Addressing elevated zonulin levels can reduce gut permeability, support brain health, and improve behavior in children with autism and ADHD
2. Microbiome and Fungal Analysis
• Proteus sp.
• Klebsiella sp.
• Enterobacter sp.
• Citrobacter sp.
• Pseudomonas sp.
• Other aerobic bacteria
• Bifidobacteria
• Bacteroides sp.
• Lactobacillus sp.
• Clostridium sp.
A balanced microbiome is essential for cognitive function, mood regulation, and behavioral stability. Imbalances in these bacteria are linked to hyperactivity, mood instability, and sensory processing challenges.
3. Fungal and Mold Screening
• Candida albicans
• Candida sp.
• Geotrichum sp.
• Mold
Overgrowth of fungi such as Candida albicans can lead to brain fog, hyperactivity, and irritability, often seen in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Identifying and addressing these imbalances can improve focus, behavior, and emotional well-being.
4. Secretory IgA (sIgA) – Immune Marker
• Secretory IgA: This immune marker reflects the health of the intestinal immune system. Low levels indicate impaired immune function, while elevated levels suggest chronic inflammation, which can affect behavior and cognitive function.

How This Test Supports Autism, ADHD, and Brain Health

The Comprehensive Leaky Gut Health Analysis identifies bacterial imbalances, fungal overgrowth, and immune dysfunction, helping families develop personalized dietary and supplement plans to support cognitive and behavioral outcomes. This test provides insights that help:
• Improve behavior, focus, and emotional regulation
• Reduce neuroinflammation by restoring gut health
• Enhance immune function and nutrient absorption
• Support optimal brain development through the gut-brain axis

How Does the Process Work?

1.Stool Sample Collection by Parents
o Parents collect the stool sample at home using our collection kit and send it to our lab for analysis.
2.Comprehensive Lab Analysis
o Our lab evaluates the levels of zonulin, bacteria, fungi, and immune markers, providing insights into the child’s gut health.
3.Tailored Report & Recommendations
o Within 4 weeks (business days), families receive a detailed report that includes:
Levels of each analyte and whether they fall within normal (green) or abnormal (red) ranges.
Graphs to visually show where levels lie on the health spectrum.
Customized dietary and supplement recommendations based on the results.
4.Monthly Subscription Option
o Families can opt for a monthly subscription to receive ongoing support and updated recommendations based on evolving test results.
5.Reassessment Every Four Months
o Repeating the test every four months ensures continuous monitoring and timely adjustments to support progress.
