This video is a Q&A session featuring Dr. Malkowski and Paula from Regenerus Labs, discussing the GI360™ stool test by Doctor's Data. They cover key aspects of the test, including microbiome diversity, dysbiosis, functional markers, testing methodologies (PCR, culture, microscopy), pathogen identification, and clinical applications. They also address commonly asked questions from practitioners to help improve interpretation and clinical use of the GI360™ report.
