DIGESTIVE HEALTH

Digestive health

 

“The gut is our center- it controls our immune functioning, mood, mental clarity and overall well being”

It All Starts With The Gut

One of the most agreed upon notions in functional medicine is that you can’t work with anyone to improve their health if their gut is not optimally working. About 80% of our immune system is located in our guts, not to mention the gut is referred to as our second brain due to the amount of neurotransmitters made here. Our diets, stress levels, environmental toxins all influence the diversity of our microbiome (gut flora). When we are not digesting our food properly it can lead not only to digestive problems but also to food sensitivities, allergies, weight gain or weight loss, skin issues, autoimmune reactions, joint pain, brain fog and much more.

Symptom & Signs Of Gut Issues

Figuring out what is wrong with digestion is critical to treating it. A combination of medical history, clinical symptoms, and diagnostic testing are put together to get the whole picture. Once the root cause is discovered we will provide you with a natural based plan to heal your gut.

  • Gas
  • Bloating
  • Acid reflux
  • Abdominal pain: burning, raw, cramping, etc
  • Excessive burping
  • Constipation/Diarrhea
  • Undigested food, blood or mucus in stool
  • Brain fog
  • Headaches
  • Joint pain
  • Sugar cravings
  • Allergies
  • Autoimmune conditions
  • Skin issues: eczema, psoriasis, acne, etc

Diet and Nutrition

Diet is a huge part of supporting digestive health. Like everything else there is no one diet fits all. Through our advanced training and experience, we will help you determine which way of eating is best for you. There is so much controversial information about which “diet” is best. To be honest we don’t like the word diet or put people on them. Instead, we help you find the best eating lifestyle. This way it is easier to follow and stick to. There are times we may need to restrict certain type of foods but once your gut is healed then adding some or most of these foods back in is possible.
