When the delicate blood-brain barrier is damaged or compromised sometimes serious health conditions like anxiety, depression, memory loss, and dementia can develop.

Below is a non-comprehensive list of some of the health conditions and neurological disorders linked to altered blood-brain barrier permeability, also known as “Leaky Brain”.

• Brain Fog
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
• Huntington’s disease
• Seizures
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Alzheimer’s
• Dementia

An analysis of your stool (feces) is one way of testing any conditions that you could be experiencing in your digestive tract, with your immune system, and even with your brain chemistry. The stool sample is collected at home with a home test kit and then analyzed through a lab where a series of microscopic tests are done while observing color and consistency, as well as the number of substances from your body that may determine if a condition is a result of gut bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc.

Another form of testing can by collecting a small amount of urine using a home test kit we can detect levels of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal metabolites in their urine. The cause of these high levels could include oral antibiotic use, high sugar diets, immune deficiencies, acquired infections, as well as genetic factors.

Vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter levels, and oxalates, which are highly correlated with many chronic illnesses, can also be detected with this form of testing.
