He's a legitimate, well-respected leader in his field, not some "send us your poop and we'll fake a report" guy.

Gee, imagine a "send us your poop" scam. Maybe a government conspiracy to collect DNA samples.
Goodness no, it's just a send us your poop so we can charge you money to test it to tell you you need to buy our supplements scam.

It's a garden variety scam that plays on people's insecurity about being overweight or their overall health. A fool and their money.....

And that's exactly why it's important to research the company and be familiar with the science before you send your poop to just anybody.

I have noticed dna tests for food allergies, but that is not what I’m getting.

Both the blood test and the poo test are $300.@ They take about 3 weeks to get the results. I committed to 12 weeks with 4 follow up visits @.$89. So I’m looking at about $1000. Plus any supplements that might be needed.

You get 3 pages of foods with a score for your tolerance. Anything under 1.6 is good. 1.7 to 2.0 is moderate intolerance, and anything from 2.0-4.0 is danger, danger. The poo test has several pages of things they measure, too (gross).

The woman comes highly recommended, including by my PCP, so I just hope this unlocks the clue about weight gain. My ailments all tend to be innards related, so I think it’s worth a shot.

I didn't mean to reply so late, thanks for replying! I have a few concerning health issues, 2 of them any nutritionist should know what kinds of foods, etc. to recommend but I don't know how familiar a nutritionist will be w/ my 3rd issue. If they don't seem that knowledgeable, I'll tell them the bit I know & hopefully, they're willing to learn more about it to help me. I hope I have a female nutritionist who I think will better undersand another female.

I was, too.
Quit cold turkey last April. We quit buying bread, and all the other manufactured & processed stuff. That doesn't mean I don't occasionally have a sandwich; it means we do not buy it and have it in the house. 85-90% of our meals are eaten at home.


It was a good move for me. I didn't need the 20 pounds, anyway.
