Have you ever considered running functional lab tests? Have you ever wondered which labs are best? You’re in the right place.

Whether you’re experiencing digestive discomfort, mood imbalances, autoimmunity, low energy, a slow metabolism, hormonal imbalance or more, gaining the data of a fresh lab test to confirm your body’s state can offer deep personal affirmation and rebuild trust in your body’s intuitive hits and requests. Marrying intuition and data is Jessi’s favorite approach. The goal of testing is simply to provide clarity on what the body is prioritizing and to determine if extra support is needed.

Quotes
“The American illusion that there is no gain without pain is BS. We don’t have to suffer in order to have success.”
“It is crucial to know that there is a difference between food sensitivities, food allergies, and food intolerances. The GI MAP helps you understand food intolerances and the MRT is great for food sensitivities, but for allergies you will need to do an IgE panel.”
“Assuming that we know how the body works or what priority the body should be focusing on does not work in our favour. We need to remember that the body is brilliant beyond our comprehension. The reality is we know maybe 5% of what your body does, and maybe we understand 3% of that.”
