A YouTube video by Robert Whitfield MD about using stool testing and emerging metabolomics/genetic tests to evaluate gut health and cellular inflammation. In this excerpt the speaker links stool testing to metabolomics and genetic testing, and lists specific biomarkers (glutathione, palmitic acid, spermidine, GABA) as important for establishing an individual's inflammatory level or score.
So that combined with. We look at stool testing, because a lot of gut health issues are intimately associated with this. So when we look at metabolomics and these new things that are coming, like more genetic testing now, you can start to pull back, you know, the curtain, if you will, to understand what's going on at a cellular level. Looking at how glutathione levels are in the body, palmitic acid, spermidine, gaba, all these things will become important in establishing your inflammation. Or when someone comes to see me, like, okay, what is their real inflammatory level or score?
