Frequently Asked Questions

What does the gut health quiz template assess?

This template evaluates digestive symptoms, food sensitivities, antibiotic history, stress-gut interactions, bowel movement patterns, and dietary habits. The 8 questions are designed to differentiate between three gut health archetypes: Gut Barrier Compromised, Microbiome Dysbiosis, and Stress-Driven Gut Dysfunction.

Can I modify the gut health questions?

Yes. The template is a starting point — you can add, remove, or rephrase questions to match your clinical approach. The archetype mapping framework is flexible enough to accommodate adjustments while preserving clinical relevance.

How are the archetypes mapped from patient responses?

Each response option contributes weighted points toward one or more archetypes. For example, bloating and irregular bowel movements point toward Gut Barrier Compromised, while antibiotic history and processed food consumption correlate with Microbiome Dysbiosis. The result is a multi-dimensional profile, not a single score.

How do I use this template in my practice?

Download the PDF, copy the questions into your existing quiz tool, or deploy through Brevlix for an automated solution. The template works as a pre-appointment screening tool, giving you structured digestive health data before the first consultation.
