🍄 Your Gut Quiz Results: The Fungal GutAlthough fungi only make up about 0.1% of your gut microbiome, when they’re out of balance, they can wreak serious havoc—affecting everything from digestion and skin to mood and brain function.⚠️ What’s Going On in Your Body?Your quiz answers suggest that fungus, mold, or yeast overgrowth (like Candida) could be at the root of your symptoms.Fungi thrive in dark, damp environments—and that includes:A gut with poor microbial diversityA body exposed to water-damaged buildings or moldAn immune system overwhelmed by stress or toxic load🧠 Tiny Invaders, Big ImpactFungal organisms release mycotoxins—extremely small, harmful compounds that:Easily cross the blood-brain barrierDisrupt immune function and neurological healthBurden detox organs like the liver and kidneys❓ Common Signs of a Fungal Gut ImbalanceIf you experience any of the following, fungal overgrowth could be playing a role:🍬 Cravings for sugar, carbs, or baked goods🦶 Skin issues: rashes, eczema, toenail fungus🚽 Frequent urination, UTIs, or yeast infections😶‍🌫️ Brain fog, mood swings, anxiety, or depression🤧 Sinus congestion, post-nasal drip, or sinusitis😴 Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest🔬 Next Steps: Genetic Testing for Detox SupportYour ability to detox fungal byproducts (like mycotoxins) depends on key genetic factors. These SNPs (genetic variants) can influence how well your body clears fungal toxins:Recommended genes to test:HLA – mold sensitivity & immune reactivityGSTP1 – phase II liver detox & mycotoxin clearanceSOD2 – antioxidant defense & inflammationCYP1A2 – phase I detox & hormone balanceFUT2 – gut lining integrity & microbial balanceSULT1A1 – sulfur metabolism & detox pathways🧭 What You Can Do NowGet a genetic and mycotoxin detox assessment. This helps you understand your unique detox capacity and sensitivities.Check your environment. If your home smells musty or has water damage, consider mold testing.Begin a guided fungal detox protocol. This may include antifungal herbs, binders, and gut-lining support (always work with a knowledgeable practitioner).Support your terrain. A healthy gut and nervous system can resist fungal overgrowth more effectively than any pill or cleanse.
2.
Your result is The Burnout Gut
Image Source
🌿 Your Gut Quiz Results: The Stress-Gut ConnectionYour answers suggest stress is playing a major role in your gut health.Whether it's recent life challenges, a long-standing Type A personality (perfectionism), or pushing yourself too hard, your body, and especially your gut, is showing physical signs of overwhelm. Your burnout doesn't just have mental but also physical symptoms. The good news? There’s a new way back to health, and that is by looking at and releasing old patterns.🧠 What’s Happening in Your Body?Stress & Burnout are not just mental, they impact your gut directly. Chronic stress releases cortisol and adrenaline, which disrupt gut bacteria, weaken the gut lining, lead to bloating, discomfort, or irregular digestion. Your adrenal glands, thyroid, and kidneys are under pressure.This creates a vicious loop → poor digestion → more overwhelm.⚠️ Key Insight: Your Biology Is TalkingYou may be stuck in a pattern of:Doing too much, too fastORRunning on empty for too longYour gut symptoms may be physical signs of deeper burnout, emotionally and biochemically.🔬 Next Steps: Personalized TestingTo break the cycle and heal from the inside out, consider running a lab test to explore genetic and inflammatory markers that influence stress and gut health:Recommended genes/SNPs to look at:AHCYFTOMTHFRCOMTOther inflammation-related markersThese can reveal how your body processes stress, methylation, detoxification, and inflammation.Book a complimentary session with a practitioner who is trauma-informed and is trained in genetics, nervous system and gut health. This isn’t just about diet, it’s about shifting how you live and recover. Support your body with targeted supplements, lifestyle changes, and stress-reduction techniques based on your unique biology.
3.
Your result is The Autoimmune Gut
Image Source
🔥 Your Gut Quiz Results: The Autoimmune GutYour responses suggest that autoimmunity and chronic inflammation are playing a central role in your gut symptoms. Whether you’ve had long-standing issues or just started noticing them, your body is signaling that deeper support is needed.🦠 What’s Happening in Your Body?If you:Had frequent antibiotics as a childGet sick easily or oftenHave a very limited diet due to food reactionsFeel exhausted, disconnected, or rely on prescription meds for autoimmune or chronic illness...You're likely dealing with a gut-immune imbalance, where the immune system is attacking your own tissues, often triggered or worsened by:Leaky gut / intestinal permeabilityPast infections or antibioticsOveractive immune responsesA nervous system stuck in survival mode (chronic stress, stored trauma, or emotional suppression)🧬 Conditions with a Common RootAutoimmune and inflammatory conditions share the same root cause: Crohn’s DiseaseUlcerative ColitisInflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)Multiple Sclerosis (MS)LupusRheumatoid Arthritis (RA)Anxiety & DepressionEven though the symptoms differ, the underlying mechanism is similar: immune dysfunction + gut inflammation + unresolved stress patterns.💡 Key Insight: There Is a Way BackYou’re not broken, and you’re not stuck. There’s a new map for healing, and it starts by looking deeper into your genetic blueprint and your nervous system health.🔬 Next Steps: Personalized TestingTo truly understand your immune and gut imbalances, consider running a genetic lab test that includes key inflammatory and immune-related SNPs (variants):Recommended markers to explore:FUT2 – linked to gut flora & B12 absorptionIL-6 – inflammatory cytokineTNF-α – major inflammation driverCRP – general inflammation markerVDR – vitamin D receptor (immune regulation)Food sensitivity genes – to guide your dietThese can provide powerful insight into why your immune system is reacting—and how to support it naturally.🧭 What You Can Do NowGet a functional genetic test and consultation with an expert, this helps map out your unique healing path.
4.
Your result is The GERD Gut
Image Source
🔥 Your Gut Quiz Results: The GERD GutIt may feel like you have too much stomach acid—but the truth for many people, acid reflux (GERD) actually stems from too little stomach acid and sluggish digestion. Your quiz results suggest that your gut may be underperforming, not overactive, leading to that burning, bloated, or heavy feeling after meals.🦠 What’s Happening in Your Body?If you:Use or have used Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) or acid blockersFeel acid reflux, burping, or bloating after eatingExperience fatigue or brain fog post-mealNotice food sitting heavy in your stomachYour body could be in conservation mode, lowering stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and bile flow to save energy under stress. When food isn’t properly broken down, it ferments, creating gas and pressure that push acid upward. Over time, this can strain the small intestine and contribute to bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), inflammation, and toxin buildup.🧬 Conditions with a Common RootLow stomach acid and poor digestion often connect to:GERD & acid refluxSmall Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)Nutrient deficiencies (especially B12, iron, and zinc)Food sensitivities & leaky gutAnxiety, low motivation, and fatigueThis digestive pattern reflects an imbalance between your gut and nervous system, especially if chronic stress or stored trauma keeps your body in “fight-or-flight.”💡 Key Insight: The Root Cause of RefluxReflux isn’t always about excess acid, it’s about imbalance. Supporting stomach acid production, enzyme release, and bile flow can help your body digest and absorb nutrients efficiently, restoring comfort and resilience from the inside out.🔬 Next Steps: Personalized TestingTo uncover the deeper causes of your GERD pattern, explore these key genetic SNPs:FUT2 – gut flora & B12 absorptionIL-6 – inflammatory cytokine linked to GERDCRP – general inflammation markerMTHFR & MTRR – methylation and detox supportUnderstanding your genetic blueprint helps guide natural interventions for digestion, inflammation, and detoxification.🧭 What You Can Do NowBegin by eating mindfully, slow down, chew thoroughly, and include digestive bitters or apple cider vinegar before meals. Hydrate with hydrogen-rich water, and consider a functional gut or genetic test to identify your root cause. From there, you can rebuild healthy digestion and say goodbye to chronic reflux—for good.

Your result is The Mixed Gut
Image Source
🔥 Your Gut Quiz Results: The Mixed GutNot sure where you fit, or feel like you’ve got a little bit of everything going on? You’re not alone. This was me. When symptoms seem all over the place, bloating, fatigue, mood swings, skin issues, or irritability, it often points to one thing: toxic overload. Your body may be doing its best to keep up, but your detox pathways, especially your liver and gut, could be asking for serious support.🦠 What’s Happening in Your Body?If you:Feel easily irritated, angry, or on edge (even when you’re doing “all the right things”)Have tried calming supplements or routines that no longer work (think yoga, meditation, exercise)Experience unpredictable digestion, brain fog, or low motivationSuspect sensitivity to foods, caffeine, alcohol, or medicationsThen your liver, your body’s general and gatekeeper, is likely overwhelmed. Modern living exposes us to a constant stream of chemicals, plastics, and environmental toxins. When these accumulate, they burden your gut, clog detox pathways, and disrupt neurotransmitters, leaving you inflamed, reactive, and exhausted.🧬 Conditions with a Common RootToxin overload and sluggish detox pathways can contribute to:Gut inflammation and dysbiosisSkin breakouts or rashesHormone imbalance and PMSFatigue and brain fogAnxiety, irritability, or rageWhen your liver can’t clear toxins efficiently, your body recycles them through the gut, creating a cycle of irritation and reactivity that affects mood, metabolism, and digestion.💡 Key Insight: Support Your Liver, Support Your GutDetoxification isn’t just about a cleanse or green juice, it’s a daily process your body depends on. When the liver and gut are supported properly, symptoms that once seemed random start to make sense (and fade). Reducing toxin exposure, optimizing nutrient support, and rebalancing gut flora helps your body shift from “overwhelmed” to “regulated.”🔬 Next Steps: Personalized TestingTo understand your unique detox capacity, explore genetic SNPs that influence liver and antioxidant pathways:MTHFR – methylation and detox supportSOD2 – antioxidant defenseGSTP1 – glutathione conjugation (phase II detox)EPHX1 – environmental toxin metabolismHLA-DQA1/A2 – food sensitivities & immune reactivityCYP1A2 – caffeine and toxin metabolismA mix of homozygous or heterozygous results here can explain why your system feels “toxic” and why lighter detox efforts haven’t worked.🧭 What You Can Do NowStart by lightening your daily toxic load, filter your water, choose clean personal care products, and eat organic when possible. Support your liver naturally with cruciferous vegetables, bitter greens, and targeted supplements under professional guidance. Then, consider booking a complimentary coaching session to learn more about creating a detox and gut-repair plan personalized to your genetics and current load. Your body knows how to heal, it just needs less interference and the right support..
