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.

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.

I can’t tell you how amazing it is to actually feel heard instead of just being dismissed by another doctor who says it must be all in my head. I feel like I’m finally taking control of my health and I’ve never felt better!

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.
Our analysis will identify the potential root causes and imbalances driving your symptoms. We’ll collect an in-depth overview of your history, lifestyle, environment, and other potential triggers. We’ll ask questions you don’t typically get asked.
Inflammation can be linked to many diseases, infections, and autoimmune conditions, so it’s important to assess. You’ll receive an at-home blood test kit to measure key inflammation biomarkers like CRP and Homocysteine. You’ll then get a report of your analysis and inflammation test results, with a focus on the systems in your body that need attention.
