Stool Testing– Uncover the
underlying cause of chronic illness.
Nava Health provides advanced stool testing to uncover the root causes of gut health issues, using cutting-edge DNA technology to identify imbalances and pathogens. You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan to improve your overall well-being. Nava’s specialists have been helping clients achieve better health since 2014.
Stool testing offers important insights into food intolerances, hormone levels, and more. With advances in technology, we now have a deeper understanding of the root causes behind chronic health issues, especially in the digestive system. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is home to a vast community of microorganisms, called the microbiome, which live in harmony with the body.
These microorganisms do more than simply reside in the GI tract — they play essential roles in maintaining overall health. They assist in producing vitamins, balancing hormones, supporting immune function, and communicating with the nervous system. Research continues to uncover the potential links between these microorganisms and health outcomes, offering a clearer picture of the ways they may influence both wellness and disease risk.
NEW technology
Over the past decade, advances in PCR technology (a way of testing DNA) have given us the tools to assess the GI microbiome more comprehensively and precisely. We can now assess each person’s microbiome more accurately. This helps us understand how an unhealthy microbiome (dysbiosis) is linked to many chronic illnesses outside the GI tract.
NEW understanding
Diagnostic Solutions uses the latest and most advanced DNA testing to assess:
- Levels of healthy bacteria
- Pathogenic bacteria
- Parasites
- Yeast
- Viruses
And advanced metabolic testing for:
- Inflammation
- Immune function
- Digestion and absorption
NEW hope
Now, clinicians can accurately assess the GI microbiome and metabolic imbalances. Patients are finding natural, holistic solutions to many chronic illnesses, such as irritable bowel syndrome and autoimmune diseases. Talk to your doctor about a stool diagnostic test and begin your journey to achieving optimal health today!

About Stool Testing:
The gut microbiome affects our health in many ways, including digestion, immunity, and brain function. Working with Nava’s nutritionists and physicians to assess gut health can help find the root cause of chronic illness and improve your health.
A stool test for gut health uses quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to identify the DNA of the microbes that live in your GI tract including parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more1. This type of stool analysis is the best and most accurate way to detect and quantify clinically-relevant organisms in the stool. Your expert Nava nutritionist will interpret your bowel health test results. Together, you will create a personalized treatment program that may include diet and lifestyle changes, supplements, and possibly medications. The goal of the treatment plan will be to address any gut dysfunction present based on gut infections or imbalances.
It is important to retest after you have completed your personalized treatment protocol to validate its efficacy and if any other problem areas are present. Your local Nava center will offer a special retest discount to clients who elect to retest after treatment has been completed.
