Glyphosate

Unit: μg/LID: T007

What This Test Measures

Herbicide (Roundup); gut microbiome disruptor, probable carcinogen

Conventional vs. Functional Optimal Range

Conventional "Normal"

<1 μg/L

Your doctor says you're "fine" anywhere in this range

Functional Optimal

<0.5 μg/L

This is where you actually feel great

The gap between these ranges is why you feel terrible with "normal" labs. Conventional medicine waits for disease. Functional medicine optimizes for health.

Gabriel's Take

Glyphosate (Roundup) is the most widely used herbicide. Disrupts gut microbiome (it's an antibiotic), linked to leaky gut, cancer (NHL), endocrine disruption. Urine glyphosate >1 μg/L = significant exposure. Sources: non-organic grains, soy, oats. Gabriel strongly recommends organic diet to minimize glyphosate. WHO classified it as "probable carcinogen."
