Maybe you've heard that good gut health is the key to good overall health?
This is especially true for kids! Set your kids up for a lifetime of good health by making sure their gut is in tip-top shape
Our kid-specific microbiome assessment can tell you...
- What's contributing to belly pain and constipation?
- Are certain microbes contributing to their anxiety or ADHD?
- Is your child digesting all that great food you're giving them?
- What foods should you focus on right now?
- What foods should you pull back on right now?
- What types of probiotics may help right now?
- Are microbes steering them in the direction of allergy, asthma, eczema, or weight problems?
- How strong is their immune resilience?
But Wait... Kids are not just little adults.
Understanding their microbiome requires a kid-specific lens
4 things all parents should know before getting a microbiome test for their kids
1. A child's microbiome is a living system, still under construction. It's important to use age-specific reference ranges when looking at microbial balance, gut immune markers, and inflammation patterns.
2. Technology Matters. Shotgun metagenomics technology has become the gold standard for microbiome testing. This gives a broader picture than tests that only look for specific microbes.
3. Microbial metabolites matter. You don't just want to know if the right bugs are there. You want to know if they are doing what they should be doing - like creating short-chain fatty acids, histamine, and GABA
4. A healthy gut can reduce health risks. We now know which microbial patterns predispose a child to developing common childhood health issues like eczema, sleep issues, food allergy, diabetes, immune vulnerability, anxiety, and obesity.

Hey I'm Jess Sherman. I'll be your guide.
I'm a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Certified Functional Nutrition Practitioner, Board Certified in Practical Holistic Nutrition. I'm also the author of Raising Resilience; take the stress out of feeding your family & love your life, and I'm mom of three.
For over 20 years I've been teaching parents how to support the mental and physical health of their kids. Plus, I know what it means to be a busy mom who just wants her kids to be healthy.
I've studied a number of different diet approaches that can help digestion - like GAPS, Paleo, low FODMAPs and more - and I use that insight along with my training in functional testing and the developing nervous system to help parents find a plan that's do-able and that helps their kids feel happier and more settled.
You've got questions, I'm sure...
Is private coaching included?
I don't live in Canada or the US - can I still do this?
Is this just for kids?
Do you take insurance?
What if I want an assessment for more than one child?
What gut test do you use?
Is the cost of the test kit included?
