The Gut Intolerance Analysis is a specialized screening designed to assess key nutrients, minerals, fatty acids, and food intolerances that impact gut health and brain development. It evaluates how nutrient absorption and food intolerances influence cognitive function, behavior, and emotional regulation, particularly in children with autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
The gut-brain axis plays a vital role in mental health, and imbalances in gut health can lead to behavioral challenges, learning difficulties, and emotional instability. Using a non-invasive hair sample, this test provides accurate, long-term insights into the child's biochemistry. Results are available in 2-4 weeks (business days), and it is recommended to repeat the analysis every four months to monitor progress and refine treatment plans.

What We Test and How It Supports Brain Health

Essential Minerals and Nutrient Absorption
• Calcium: Supports neurotransmitter function and memory formation.
• Magnesium: Regulates mood and behavior by balancing neurotransmitters such as GABA.
• Zinc Orotate: Enhances cognitive abilities, improves learning, and regulates behavior.
• Sodium and Potassium: Essential for maintaining neural communication and attention.
• Phosphorus: Supports energy production and cell membrane health, essential for learning and memory.
2. Fatty Acids for Cognitive Function and Emotional Regulation
• Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Omega-3): Improves focus, reduces hyperactivity, and supports brain plasticity.
• EPA/DHA (Omega-3): Essential for brain development, improving mood, behavior, and cognition.
• Arachidonic Acid (Omega-6): Supports brain growth but requires careful balance with Omega-3s to avoid inflammation.
• Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA, Omega-6): Reduces neuroinflammation and improves emotional regulation.
• Oleic Acid (Omega-9): Supports myelin formation for better neural communication.
3. Key Food Intolerances Affecting Behavior and Brain Function
The analysis identifies intolerances to key food groups, which may cause inflammation and behavioral challenges:
• Dairy (Milk, Cheese, Yogurt): Linked to mood instability and cognitive disruptions in children with autism.
• Gluten: Known to trigger brain fog and hyperactivity.
• Soy, Corn, and Eggs: Common triggers of neuroinflammation, leading to behavior and attention issues.
These intolerances are categorized into levels:
• Level 1 (Mild): May cause minor symptoms; manageable through moderation.
• Level 2 (Moderate): Requires temporary elimination to reduce symptoms.
• Level 3 (Severe): Immediate removal is recommended to prevent behavioral disruptions and inflammation.

How This Analysis Supports Autism, ADHD, and Brain Health

The Gut Intolerance Analysis provides essential insights into how food intolerances and nutrient absorption affect brain health, behavior, and emotional regulation. With a focus on the gut-brain axis, this screening supports:
• Improved attention, behavior, and emotional stability
• Reduced hyperactivity and sensory processing challenges
• Enhanced nutrient absorption to support cognitive development
• Lower inflammation to protect brain function and improve focus

How the Process Works

1.Hair Sample Collection
o A non-invasive hair sample is collected to provide long-term insights into nutrient absorption and intolerances.
2.Comprehensive Analysis
o The test evaluates the child’s nutrient levels, fatty acid balance, and food intolerances to identify underlying causes of cognitive and behavioral challenges.
3.Tailored Report & Dietary Plan
o Results are available within 2-4 weeks (business days), along with a customized dietary plan and supplement recommendations.
4.Monthly Subscription Option
o Families can choose a monthly subscription to receive continuous updates and personalized recommendations based on real-time findings.
5.Reassessment Every Four Months
o Repeating the analysis every four months ensures optimal support and continuous improvement in brain function and behavior.
