Robert Whitfield MD discusses how genetics, environment (where we live/work), and lifestyle factors (diet, drink, air) interact to influence health. In this excerpt he emphasizes identifying food sensitivities that stimulate the GI tract and mentions using a GI-MAP test to assess bacterial, fungal, and parasitic counts to understand digestive function.

And so we each have these elements of genetics. And where we live, where we work, what we eat, what we drink, air we breathe, all plays a role. And once you identify what stimulates, like your GI tract with the food sensitivities, know how your digestive process works either with some. We do a GI map just to check for the bacterial, fungal and parasite. You know, numbers and get a sense of what's going on.
