Her imbalanced adrenals could be impacting cortisol, sex hormones, and mood - and addressing them could potentially help relieve her anxiety, migraines, and PCOS.
The ideal level of inflammation is <5%. Her inflammation level is 27%, indicating mild-moderate inflammation across her body.
Her nervous system--her most dysfunctional system--may be stuck in ‘fight or flight mode,’ which in turn could be contributing to her anxiety, diarrhea, and constipation.
Accumulated toxins, metals, and mold could be triggering her immune system, causing inflammation and hormone imbalances.
Hormones were healthier than expected! Despite PCOS being deemed her main issue, prioritizing gut health could be more effective in bringing her hormones and PCOS back into balance.
IBS was something she struggled with since childhood. We identified her upper GI as the issue. Digestive enzymes and removing trigger foods helped heal her upper GI.
Aka the #1 inflammation biomarker. C-reactive protein (CRP) is produced by your liver in response to inflammation. High hs-CRP results suggest that your body is acting as though it’s fighting off an infection… even if it seems like there is no infection present.
This is one piece of the AST/ALT ratio that helps us monitor liver function. ALT is an enzyme found primarily in the liver, so a high amount of it outside in the bloodstream indicates cell damage -- which can often occur as a result of inflammation.
Glucose or sugar is your main source of energy, playing a part in your metabolism and digestion. Inflammation plays a vital role in regulating blood glucose levels - if these levels are off, it indicates your body is trending towards inflammation.
A protein in your blood that contains iron. We test your Ferritin to understand if you have low levels, a common sign of iron deficiency, which can be due to malabsorption in your gut.
This biomarker tells us if you have a vitamin deficiency. Homocysteine is connected to critical vitamins like B12, B6 and folate. High levels of this biomarker indicate inflammation is at play in your body.
This marker plays a role in regulating glucose, and informing metabolism, digestion and energy. If inflammation is too high, your body may not be able to keep glucose at the right level.
This is one piece of the AST/ALT ratio that helps us monitor liver function. ALT is an enzyme found primarily in the liver, so a high amount of it outside in the bloodstream indicates cell damage -- which can often occur as a result of inflammation.
The thing that helps your body make cell membranes, hormones, and vitamin D. Inflammation can impact how your body processes fats, slowing down metabolism, causing excess fat storage, and increasing cholesterol levels.
Despite being one of the most common deficiencies in the world today, Vitamin D plays an important role in reducing inflammation, influencing mood, easing muscle and joint pain, and bone strength.
Root Causes
The triggers of your symptoms like antibiotics, toxins, inflammatory food, lifestyle, trauma, otc medications & more.

I’m noticing a difference in how I’m feeling. I feel more radiant and light. Enjoying having more energy and feeling better. I’ve started juicing, adding in some variety, and more diversity in my veggie mashup, really focusing on eating good foods.
My constipation has mostly gone away and my bowel movements are regular now. I’m now sleeping through the night and getting to bed earlier, and getting a full night’s rest. Headaches hardly ever come anymore.
I've just completed my 30-day elimination plan and am feeling really great. At the beginning of my treatment, my symptoms ranked at 8 or 9 in terms of intensity-- now they are a 5. My bowel movements are much more regular, I’m going daily at the same time. My headaches are diminished.
My health has improved a lot-- when I started GritWell, I was at a 3/10 and now it’s at least a 6/10. My GI symptoms (SIBO) and sleep quality have improved and I’m a lot more mindful and aware than I was before. I really love the health coach I’m working with, today’s session was more like a therapy session than a food session. Wellness is like 80% mental well-being, and I feel like we get lost in food and supplements. Also, they’re really affordable and really great to work with.

I don't have any symptoms that I initially had - 100% improved I've improved 100% in fatigue, lack of appetite, muscle/joint pain, and digestive issues. I don't have any symptoms that I initially had when we first talked. So, yeah, so that's been great. It's taught me how to eat better and realize that, you know, my first inclination shouldn't be to run to the drugstore to get something to really mask my symptoms - it should be to figure out what is really CAUSING those symptoms and address that. I feel like if I had something else that I need to work on, I could always reach out to you and, you know, either start over or start something new, or that y'all would be here to help me. I am just completely healed, so there is nothing else to work on!

I learned about the potential connection between gut and hormonal imbalance. My provider was so thorough and detailed with explaining things. She reviewed in-depth my labs, including the concerns for my inflammation and suboptimal A1C. She really helped to explain the value in digging report with these results. Overall this was much more thorough. I thought the questions were laid out nicely, asked clearly and covered a lot. I was surprised there wasn’t more related to mental health (only saying that as I know this can be a large part of one’s health). I’ve seen it in some other assessments, but probably never enough. Maybe more about current stress, past trauma (within reason). Otherwise, it was awesome and I felt like it was really looking at the whole picture of the patient. My provider was fabulous! She took the time to explain my resent labs and the importance behind them. Literally never had another provider go so in-depth and have such a great way of delivering her information. You can tell how much she cares, which made me feel connected to the program.

I learned that my liver needs to detox first in order to reach my health goals. That my low sugar and high insulin are most likely the cause for many symptoms and that they can be turned around. Before Gritwell, I never had a test for inflammation. I had never been given other options other than another prescription. Knowing I can fix it is extremely encouraging. I also learned that medicine/ pills isn't the only answer and that supplements can assist me. Once I get my liver functioning better I can start on my other symptoms.

I learned that my body is in fight or flight for so long and it has triggered inflammation and one thing has led to another. I appreciated that different labs were taken and I was given explanation of how they play a part in telling what's going on in the body by looking at all of that plus the data history I completed. I found it valuable when results were discussed due to how she explained what they each were and where in my system things were off. How it was all linked together but starting with gut and liver detox would be beneficial.

It was eye-opening to consider my health from a preventative perspective. While many of the labs were "normal," I was clearly starting to brew in bad places like diabetes!

Root Cause Assessment
I learned so much from my Root Cause Assessment. I learned that my vitamin D levels were low and vitamin D is actually a hormone, and not a vitamin. That was interesting because it can effect a lot of things. I also learned that I had some GI imbalances as well. My provider was great and explained that with some of the imbalances that I had, I may have leaky gut, or even an autoimmune disease. She further explained that we could heal it, or prevent one from arising. Overall, I learned so much from just the assessment. I have never felt SO comfortable sharing my symptoms with someone. I did not feel rushed or dismissed. My provider was amazing and asked me so many questions. Every person I have encountered with Gritwell is incredibly compassionate. Every person genuinely cares. Everything was so valuable! Just learning about each imbalance, and then truly making the connection to my life was really nice to see. Overall, I took in so much from my provider!

I’ve been experiencing chronic symptoms for over 12 years. Even after a gluten allergy diagnosis, most of my symptoms continued to persist. I visited my PCP, a psychiatrist, and a series of specialists, but have been stuck in the cycle of symptom management for a decade. After taking Gritwell’s Root Cause Assessment, I learned that I had a number of biomarker irregularities, including Insulin, Glucose, Ferritin, and Vitamin D, none of which were tested through my regular doctors. Now that I have an understanding of what’s causing my symptoms, I’ve worked with my Gritwell providers and my other doctors to develop a plan to address these imbalances. I’m excited to finally have some answers that can help me feel in control of my health again.

For the last 5 years I've been suffering from significant joint and muscle pain, headaches, fatigue all from food sensitivies. I went gluten free 5 years ago but now have developed additional food sensitivities and realized I needed to heal my gut before I could do anything else.
Root Cause Assessment
Seeing a timeline of incidents and potential causes made things much clearer about how your environment can impact your health. I grew up near a superfund toxic waste site and then worked in a facility that had poor air quality, both likely impacting my sensitivities to mold and development of toxics. From this, I've started taking the supplements designed to help detox my body. I've gone through many allergy tests, but no one has taken the time to discuss in depth factors that have impacted my life AND the potential impact on my health. I'm already feeling better and can't wait to see how this processes as part of the program.

Was glad that everything was explained in a way I understood and what can cause an issue to develop. Going to various doctors and getting blood work done with no real solution of why you are feeling the way you do. I've been discouraged from going back to them. Most doctors just try to give you a quick fix, but Gritwell they help to find the root cause of the issues. They truly care and want to help.

I loved how the assessment took into consideration all areas of my health and a timeline of symptoms from birth. I was nice to see how all of it can contribute to present day symptoms. It was helpful to see how the biomarkers are tied to inflammation and the symptoms I'm experiencing. For example cholesterol can be too low and that isn't a good thing. Gritwell differs by not only giving you information and explanation of your test results but as goes over them with a practitioner.

I think the assessment really helped me to see some of the areas that my body could be sensitive to on a scale. This is actually the first time anyone has done anything like this before. When I have gone to my primary care doctor, they would just try and adjust medications that I am on and omit different things and tell me to add fiber. I tried all of that and nothing changed.

Mold toxicity,
Care Program
Working with Meg, she was able to sort through my symptoms and help get the appropriate testing. Turns out the root cause of all of my symptoms was mold illness from living in a moldy home years ago. Meg and the Gritwell team helped order the right supplements and give me guidance on the best treatment modalities to detox the mold from my system. Within a few short months, with proper diet, targeted supplements and IR Sauna, my digestive symptoms have improved significantly. I am so thankful to have found Gritwell and now feel confident that I have the tools to continue my healing/detox journey.

I’m a completely different person to when I first started this program, sleeping almost 8 hours a night, my digestion has improved, I have way more energy, and I’ve lost 12lbs!!!!!! Between you and my coach this has so far been an incredible experience. I’m thankful for you both. I can’t wait to tell everyone I know about y’all. The passion that you both have makes a company last. I’ve been on NP Thyroid for a few weeks and am experiencing more energy, weight loss and better moods. My digestive issues have improved tremendously and I have a daily bowel movement, less acid reflux and less bloated. By follow-up # 1, my clothes were fitting a little looser. By follow-up # 2, I’d lost 5 lbs. By follow-up # 3, I lost 12 lbs, 3” off my waist and 5 ½” off my hips. Tension headaches have improved. I no longer experience muscle twitches.

Care Program
I experienced really bad migraines, struggled with PCOS, and struggled with anxiety. Medication wasn’t helping and I was tired of continuously switching to try new ones. I just didn’t feel like myself anymore. GritWell is different because they don’t just cover up the issues with a bandaid. They get to the cause of the issues and go from there. Like any medical care there’s some trial and error. But this is better than trying medications that don’t help. I feel better already and it’s been about two months. We still have work to do but I’m seeing progress. And checking in every two weeks helps tremendously to stay on track and discuss any problems. I would recommend GritWell to anyone who’s interested in functional medicine.

After signing up, you will be able to choose between an in-person lab draw or the an at-home test kit.
If you choose the at-home test kit, you can collect a blood prick sample in the comfort of your own home. Supplies and step-by-step instructions will be included in the kit. Due to shipping times, turnaround time is typically 10-14 days.
If you choose the in-person lab draw, we’ll guide you through booking an appointment at a LabCorp test center near your home. Appointments are usually available next day, and turnaround time is typically 5-7 days. *Please note that the kit and lab order forms expire within 30 days.
Yes! Gritwell payments are now eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement if you are working to prevent or reverse a condition. The process is simple - we’ll send you reimbursement instructions right after payment. See if you qualify here.
No worries - we can exclude some markers from your lab test order form. But we encourage you to retest, since our approach to interpreting lab results is a bit different from conventional medicine. Instead of relying solely on individual markers, we consider all of your results as a whole and use a separate scale for defining what is “normal.” This enables us to better assess your body’s inflammation level, which is a crucial factor in determining your overall health status. In contrast, conventional medicine may consider blood work results to be within the “normal” range, but they may still not be optimal for your well-being.
Here’s an example. Gritwell considers a Vitamin D level of 70 ng/ml to be optimal, whereas at a conventional doctor’s office, you’re considered “fine” if you’re at least above 20 ng/ml… even though that’s low enough to be causing symptoms!
Your Root Cause Assessment Report will show:
Other at-home testing options send you the test kit and results, but don't help you understand them. With Gritwell’s Root Cause Assessment, you get more than just a test. We dive deep into all the factors affecting your health - inflammation testing, a detailed analysis, and an appointment with a functional medicine health coach all in one.
You’ll get a detailed breakdown of what each marker says about your body. You’ll also get to follow up with a functional medicine health coach and ask them further questions, face-to-face.
Inflammation testing is only one piece of the big picture. Our Root Cause Analysis - a series of deep dive questions on your symptoms - helps pinpoint many potential imbalances in your body. Just because your test results come back “normal,” doesn’t mean there’s nothing wrong, and that you should continue dealing with your symptoms without answers.
We look at all your symptoms and trust you when you say you don’t feel “normal.” We see patients as individuals and not as averages. We understand that you know your body best.
