Root Cause Consult
Root Cause Consult (90 minutes) + Interpretation
The Root Cause Consult is a 90-minute private video session where we explore how your life experiences, stress, patterns, environment, nourishment, and relationships have shaped the symptoms you’re living with today. This is where we slow down. This is where we connect the dots. Because symptoms don’t appear out of nowhere. They are messengers.
During this session, we’ll thoroughly explore:
Your health history
Childhood patterns and nervous system imprinting
Relationships and emotional stressors
Career and lifestyle dynamics
Environmental exposures (mold, toxins, metals, pesticides)
Diet, digestion, and mineral status
Together, we’ll begin unraveling the sequence of events that created your current reality.
This is a beautiful entry point into working with me.
If you enroll in the Root Cause Consult and decide within 30 days to join one of my Signature Immersive Programs (Gut Health or Acne & Hormonal Health), your $197 consult fee will be credited toward your program.
FAQs
What can you expect from this service?
A clear understanding of the chain reaction — often invisible — that created the “perfect storm” in your body. Because health challenges are rarely random. They are the result of:
Genetics (which influence far less than we’ve been led to believe)
Environmental triggers
Chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation
Mineral depletion
Gut dysfunction
Trauma and unprocessed emotional load
Lifestyle misalignment
Through a functional medicine and holistic lens, I will help you see how these pieces interconnect — and more importantly, what must be addressed first. Within 48 hours of our call, you’ll receive a detailed written recap of everything we discussed. You don’t need to take frantic notes.
Do I get a specific protocol with this service?
This session is about clarity and foundation. While this is not a long-term structured protocol like my Signature Programs, you will leave with:
A clear roadmap of what created your symptoms
Foundational priorities to address first
Immediate next steps you can begin implementing
Foundations are never optional in healing. They are the difference between temporary relief and real change. If deeper personalization is needed, you’re welcome to book additional Root Cause Consults. I recommend scheduling them close together for momentum, accountability, and integration.

DIY Signature + GI MAP
GI MAP Interpretation / Root Cause Consult (90 minutes) + 12-Week Protocol
This program includes a root cause consult (90-minute video call) to deep dive into what life circumstances have manifested your current challenges, including your health history, childhood experiences, relationships, career, lifestyle habits and GI MAP results (which helps identify imbalances in bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses in the gut). It then goes beyond that one session, extending support over the next 12 weeks, where you will given a tailored wellness protocol to follow. Every four weeks, adjustments will be made and further support provided based on your feedback through questionnaires, supplemented by email support to ensure optimal progress. This protocol is aimed to provide a tailored solution to improving your wellness in a do-it-yourself manner (without consistent check-ins, messaging support & coaching calls). This protocol is combined with a GI MAP, for which you will receive a discount of $150.
Before scheduling your 90-minute consult, you will fill out this form. A stool test kit will be mailed to the address you provide. You'll follow the instructions in the kit for sample collection and mail it back. The form must be completed to initiate the test kit shipment. Upon receiving your results (within two to three weeks), we will discuss them over the 90-minute video consultation, included in this option's investment. This means you will be waiting two to three weeks for consultation. Appointments can be scheduled through Calendly, my website, email or Instagram, and I will notify you via the email address you provide on the form when your results are ready for review.
For optimal test accuracy, I advise taking a biofilm disrupter for two weeks before sample collection, with a dosage of one capsule three times daily on an empty stomach. DO NOT take this product for longer than 4 weeks unless under the supervision of an experienced practitioner. This package, including the test, a 90-minute results interpretation, and a 12 week follow-up protocol, is ideal for individuals with a relatively good understanding of digestive health or dietary practices. If you are inexperienced in digestive health & dietary practices, a more thorough and suitable option will be a 120-minute consultation for an additional $50. With the extra 30 minutes, I will be able to explain in more detail how to properly prepare food, check labels, provide cooking instructions / recipes, grocery shopping tips / strategies, meal prepping, time saving etc.
Payment plans are available. First 4 weeks is $644 (covering the cost of the GI MAP itself + protocol), each subsequent 4 week set is $200, for a total of $1044. You may email me at carly@holisticallycarly for a payment plan invoice.
qPCR Stool Testing
The GI MAP & US Biotek GI Advanced Profile is a comprehensive qPCR-based stool analysis that offers a detailed look at your microbiome — the ecosystem of bacteria, parasites, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms living within your gastrointestinal tract. It also evaluates digestive function, inflammation markers, and indicators of immune activity within the gut.
Symptoms like bloating, acne, constipation, diarrhea, food sensitivities, fatigue, hormone imbalance, and autoimmune tendencies rarely exist in isolation. They are often downstream effects of microbial imbalance, chronic infections, poor digestive capacity, or inflammatory patterns within the gut.
This test allows us to see what is actually happening beneath the surface. Rather than guessing, we assess. Rather than suppressing symptoms, we identify patterns.
I am currently offering this service to both active and non-active clients. If you are not currently working with me, you may choose either a 60-minute or 90-minute consultation to review your results.
If you feel unfamiliar with digestive health, microbiome science, or therapeutic dietary strategies, I strongly recommend the 90-minute consultation. This allows us the time necessary to not only interpret your results but to ensure you truly understand what they mean and how they connect to your symptoms.
If you already have a solid understanding of gut physiology and foundational nutrition principles, the 60-minute option is often sufficient.
For returning clients who only need targeted reassessment, you may also choose to order the H. pylori assay independently rather than completing the full GI Advanced Profile.
This testing is not about collecting data for the sake of data. It is about precision. It is about clarity. It is about building a plan that reflects your unique biology instead of a generic protocol.
When we understand the terrain, healing becomes strategic rather than reactive.
Mycotoxins
Do you believe you’ve been affected by mold? It’s estimated that 80% of buildings are impacted by harmful molds that may be contributing to your health issues! See the types of symptoms you may experience due to mold. You can read more about my own mold journey in this free download.
I never skip a mycotoxin test with any client who has chronic gut issues because it’s a huge missing piece and will absolutely prevent you from getting well. The reason testing for mycotoxins is so imperative is that various types of mycotoxins produced from molds require different binders & detox protocols. I use a urine test from Mosaic Diagnostic’s Laboratory. You can order it here. Once your results come in, we will have a 30 minute consult for a detox protocol.
It is imperative to remove yourself from the moldy environment and / or to remove the mold (if applicable). I recommend a nationwide company called Pure Maintenance (the same one I used) for remediation— and this one won’t charge an arm and a leg like many companies. Can you believe the first company I called for remediation wanted $5000 for the inspection ALONE— no remediation included. This company was very thorough, supportive and empathetic to my health issues.
HTMA
Using Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), an inexpensive and non-invasive testing option, I can understand both your mineral status, and perhaps more importantly, its BALANCE. This test also gives a reading for heavy metals, digestion, metabolism, thyroid & adrenal health and much more. HTMA helps us understand metabolic and glandular patterns and dysfunction that underlie all health conditions, which is why it’s a great place to begin if you don’t know where to start. Click “learn more” to see how the HTMA can assist my client work & why retesting is recommended. Choose from 3 options below. Follow up tests are recommended. These tests are offered to those who are not clients of mine. Please fill out this intake form prior to our call.
DUTCH Plus
If you're looking to get a comprehensive and accurate understanding of your hormones, the DUTCH Plus test is an exceptional option. Unlike traditional blood tests, which provide a snapshot of hormone levels at a single point in time, the DUTCH Plus test offers a deeper analysis using dried urine and saliva to provide a full picture of hormone production and metabolism.
I highly suggest booking a call with me before purchasing because this is generally one of the last tests that I recommend to my clients. Rarely are hormones the first to become imbalanced— those imbalances are often preceded by imbalances in the gut, blood sugar and circadian health. Because hormones are simply messengers, they will do what they are told, determined by stress, nutrients, the gut microbiome, inflammation, sleep, circadian health and more. I recommend working on those things before getting caught up in what hormones are imbalanced. Hormones will typically show improvement once the things listed above are addressed.
DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) Plus is a cutting-edge hormone test that measures hormone metabolites in dried urine and cortisol levels through saliva. This test provides a more complete look at hormonal balance and function, offering insights that other testing methods simply can't match.
What Markers Are Tested?
The DUTCH Plus test analyzes a wide array of hormone markers, including:
Estrogen Metabolites: Estrone (E1), Estradiol (E2), Estriol (E3)
Progesterone Metabolites: Pregnanediol
Androgens (Male and Female Hormones): Testosterone, DHEA, DHEA-S, Androsterone, Etiocholanolone
Cortisol and Cortisone Metabolites: Daily free cortisol, metabolized cortisol
Melatonin: A key hormone involved in sleep regulation
Organic Acids: Indicators of B-vitamin status, oxidative stress, and neurotransmitter metabolites
Why the DUTCH Plus Test Stands Out
The DUTCH Plus test provides key advantages over blood and saliva tests alone, particularly in assessing hormone metabolism:
Hormone Metabolite Insights:
Where the DUTCH Plus test truly shines is in its ability to measure hormone metabolites, which are crucial for understanding how your body is processing hormones. Blood tests cannot measure these metabolites, leaving potential imbalances undetected.
Ease of Collection:
The test is done in the comfort of your home using simple dried urine and saliva samples, eliminating the need for inconvenient lab visits or painful blood draws.
Accuracy and Comprehensive Data:
Dried urine provides a more accurate reflection of hormone levels over the course of the day, rather than a single moment in time. This approach captures fluctuations and offers a better overall picture.
Cortisol Testing with Saliva:
The DUTCH Plus test incorporates saliva testing for cortisol, which is the most accurate way to measure the cortisol awakening response (CAR). Measuring CAR is critical for understanding how your body handles stress first thing in the morning when cortisol spikes. This sets DUTCH Plus apart from the "Complete" version, which only uses dried urine for cortisol measurement (a less precise method).
Choosing the Right DUTCH Test
I typically recommend the DUTCH Plus test due to its comprehensive nature, especially for those struggling with stress-related hormonal imbalances. However, there are a few considerations:
If you are confident that cortisol (your stress hormone) is not a factor in your hormonal imbalances, there may be a less expensive option available. Feel free to email me to discuss alternative testing that may better suit your needs.
If fertility concerns such as infertility or miscarriage are part of your health journey, the DUTCH Cycle Mapping option provides a more comprehensive look at your entire cycle. This test tracks hormone fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle, providing invaluable insight. Email me for more details and pricing.
If you're ready to gain deep insights into your hormonal health and get a personalized plan to optimize your well-being, the DUTCH Plus test is an excellent choice.
