No, the program doesn’t require any testing on behalf of our Gut Thrivers. That is all optional, but may be appealing to some participants. What we do is consistently run before and after lab work on an ongoing and new control group so that we can continue to improve and refine the program and provide accurate measurements of what one can expect from the program. This frees our enrollees of the timely and costly expense of running lab work and yet they should still get excellent results as if they worked with a private practitioner. We use Ubiome for the before and after gut-microbiome testing for our control group. If interested, you can order these same tests and run them on yourself here: http://bit.ly/2eClgwV.
