Digestive symptoms can affect daily comfort and make it difficult to understand how your body is responding to food and nutrients. Concerns such as bloating, irregular bowel habits, and food sensitivities can have many possible causes and may require a closer evaluation of digestive function. At Novu Wellness and Aesthetics, gut health services focus on gathering detailed information through provider-guided testing and personalized follow-up care.
This service includes GI-MAP testing through the Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory. GI-MAP is a comprehensive stool test that uses qPCR technology to detect bacteria, parasites, fungi, H. pylori, and other microbial targets, along with markers related to digestion and inflammation. Testing must be ordered by a qualified healthcare provider, and your results are reviewed during a follow-up visit to discuss recommendations based on your findings.
GI-MAP testing provides information about the balance of microorganisms in your digestive system.
The test identifies bacteria, pathogens, and other organisms that may be present in the gut.
Markers related to enzyme activity and inflammation offer additional context about digestive function.
Results help your provider recommend options that are tailored to your specific findings.
Your results can support ongoing discussions about nutrition, lifestyle, and next steps with your provider.
Your visit begins with a consultation to review your symptoms, medical history, and wellness goals. If appropriate, your provider may recommend GI-MAP testing through Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory to further evaluate your digestive balance.
A consultation with the Novu Wellness and Aesthetics team can help determine if GI-MAP testing is appropriate for your needs.

What an amazing experience from the moment I walked in the door. I am a new patient and didn’t know what to expect and I was so pleasantly happy. The staff was excellent and friendly and so helpful. The office is so warming and inviting. Then I was able to meet Maggie and she was so attentive to me and my health. Her bedside manner was amazing. I felt important and valued. She wasn’t rushed and really took the time needed to put a plan together a great personalized health plan for me. I am so excited that I found Nuvo Wellness.

When my concerns about my hormone levels were not being taken seriously by my doctor, I turned to Maggie at Novu Wellness for a second opinion. She not only took the test results that I had from my doctor, but also ordered additional tests to get a more complete picture of my personal situation. The treatment plan she prescribed has changed my life, and I am very grateful to her and her very competent staff for everything they have done for me. I highly recommend them.

Maggie is incredible. She truly listens and never dismisses my concerns. When I told her my hormones felt off, she believed me and took action right away. She didn’t write me off because of my age and truly listened to me. She never rushes appointments and genuinely cares for her patients. She even called me after hours on a Friday night to share results regarding something I was batteling and made sure I could start an antibiotic immediately. That level of care and compassion is so rare—I’m beyond so grateful for her!

Maggie and staff are a dream. She listen, supports, understands, is compassionate, seeks long term health solutions. Appointments are not like a typical physicians- hurried up healthcare. She and her staff go above and beyond. Helpful, every step of way. I can get Botox, wellness and healthcare coaching. Bio hormones and everything else. Plus she has the cutest office in the world. Today I was met with an amazing assortment of fall pumpkins and florals. Samples, drinks, and an upcoming evening social.
