Ep 79 - 3 Top Stool Tests to Uncover Gut Health – Kelly Schmidt RDN, Reviews My GI Map Results

Kelly Schmidt, a registered dietitian, fitness instructor, wife, and mother of two, leads T1D Functional Nutrition, a virtual practice that offers a holistic approach to T1D management—one that harmonizes body, mind, and spirit for total wellness. Drawing from her expertise in dietetics and 33 years of managing type 1 diabetes, she helps ambitious individuals optimize their metabolism and nutrition.

In episode 79, Kelly returns to discuss gut health, emphasizing functional testing like stool analysis to uncover autoimmune and digestive issues. Both Kelly and I share personal experiences, delving into the importance of enzymes, probiotics, hydrochloric acid, and hormone balance for gut health.

Kelly stresses a holistic approach that combines mindset, lifestyle changes, and ongoing support to tackle root causes and sustain digestive health.

Topics we cover:

· The Role of Stool Tests and Kelly's top recommendations (GI Map, GI Effects and BiomeFx).

· I share my GI Map results, which revealed a parasite and led to antibiotic treatment.

· Kelly interprets my results, providing clinical feedback and treatment recommendations.

· Importance of Enzymes and Hydrochloric Acid

· Supporting Gut Health Long-Term

· The Role of Probiotics

· Hormones and Gut Health

· Kelly urges addressing root causes through functional testing.

· Why women over 40 with type 1 diabetes, experiencing midlife symptoms, should get a GI map or similar test to evaluate gut health.

· Stresses the importance of working with a knowledgeable practitioner and ongoing support.
