Synergistic Testing with Neural Zoomer

View All Tests

A comprehensive gut–brain test that evaluates microbiome balance, pathogens, inflammation, digestion, permeability, detox-related metabolites, and neurotransmitter patterns.

Gut Zoomer

Gut Zoomer

An environmental health panel that assesses heavy metals, mold toxins, industrial chemicals, and PFAS together with detox capacity.

Toxin Zoomer

Toxin Zoomer

Why it Matters

Gut and brain health are closely linked through the gut–brain axis. Gut Zoomer clarifies whether dysbiosis, barrier stress, digestion issues, or microbial metabolites may be contributing to brain fog, headaches, mood shifts, or post-infection symptoms. Paired with Neural Zoomer, it connects gut “terrain” to neuroimmune signals for clearer clinical direction.

Environmental toxicants like mold toxins, metals, PFAS, and chemicals can add strain to neurological and immune pathways. Toxin Zoomer identifies toxic load and detox capacity, while Neural Zoomer shows how the brain and nerves are reacting. Together, they help differentiate toxin burden, immune activation, and barrier stress in complex neurological presentations.

Key Insights

When Gut Zoomer and Neural Zoomer are reviewed together, providers can see whether GI-driven inflammation, dysbiosis, barrier dysfunction, or microbial metabolites are shaping neuroimmune patterns. This combination connects fatigue, mood variability, head pressure, cognitive changes, or sensory sensitivity to meaningful gut-brain insights

Pairing Toxin Zoomer with Neural Zoomer adds essential context by showing whether toxin exposure, detox genetics, or oxidative stress may be activating or amplifying neurological immune responses. It supports a cleaner, stepwise plan by showing which stressors are upstream and which patterns the nervous system is signaling downstream.

What’s Measured

Microbiome balance, gut pathogens, digestion markers, inflammation markers, intestinal permeability, microbial metabolites (SCFAs, bile acids), neurotransmitter-related metabolites (serotonin, GABA, taurine, glycine, 5-HIAA), immune markers, and GI-related metabolic activity.

Heavy metals, mycotoxins, environmental chemicals, PFAS compounds, detoxification pathway genetics, glutathione-related markers, and oxidative stress indicators involved in toxin handling and clearance.

About the Test

What does the Neural Zoomer measure?

It evaluates immune activity related to the brain, nerves, and blood–brain barrier by measuring antibodies connected to neuroinflammation, neurological autoimmunity, peripheral nerve involvement, and infection-associated immune patterns. This provides a broad view of how neuroimmune activity may relate to symptoms like brain fog, nerve discomfort, mood changes, or cognitive shifts.

What samples are required and how is it collected?

The Neural Zoomer uses a blood sample collected either via standard venipuncture or dried blood spot (DBS), depending on your provider’s preference. Collection is simple and takes only a few minutes, after the sample is processed, results are delivered directly to your ordering provider.

How are results used and who benefits most?

Results organize neuroimmune patterns across multiple systems: brain autoimmunity, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular pathways, blood–brain barrier integrity, and infection-associated antibodies. This helps clarify contributors to symptoms like fogginess, tingling, headaches, or mood changes and offers a clearer starting point for stepwise nervous-system support.

Health Insights

What kinds of patterns can this test highlight?

The Neural Zoomer maps how the immune system interacts with neural proteins, such as myelin components, neurotransmitter receptors, barrier-associated markers, and nerve-related antigens. Seeing these patterns together can help distinguish whether symptoms relate more to neuroinflammatory load, peripheral nerve stress, barrier imbalance, or past infection immune signals that routine labs may not capture.

How do these findings relate to everyday symptoms?

Results place every day experiences into context. For example, neuroinflammatory patterns may relate to brain fog, irritability, or overstimulation; peripheral nerve markers may relate to tingling, burning sensations, or coordination issues; and blood–brain barrier stress may align with headaches, visual strain, or difficulty concentrating. Together, these signals help form a coherent picture of what may be influencing how you feel, without guessing.

Ordering

How do I order the Neural Zoomer and what should I expect?

Your licensed healthcare provider orders the test and determines whether serum or DBS collection is appropriate. You’ll receive an at-home dried blood spot kit (if DBS is used) or complete a quick in-office blood draw. After labeling and returning the kit using the prepaid mailer, the sample is analyzed using Vibrant’s microarray platform. Once processed, a visual report is sent to your provider, who reviews the findings with you and answers questions about what the patterns may mean.
