Most of us can remember back to elementary school science when we learned about the role of our digestive tract. We learned how it helps us digest our food so we can utilize those nutrients for energy. However, that’s hardly scratching the surface on how powerful and complex the gastrointestinal system is and why gut health is central to overall health.
“ALL DISEASE BEGINS IN THE GUT.” -HIPPOCRATES
This is especially true when it comes to the potential of our gut microbiome, also known as the gut flora. It is estimated that there are tens of trillions of different microorganisms in the gut, creating a unique blend of microorganisms in each and every individual. Research suggests that many health issues begin as imbalances in the digestive system. In order to help improve health, we have to get to the root of the problem, which often leads us back to resolving imbalances or issues in the digestive tract or gut microbiome. New research is also starting to show a strong connection between the gut and the brain, as well as the ability of the gut bacteria to influence neurotransmitter levels and inflammation in the body. Our diet can also trigger changes in the gut microbiome, for better or for worse. It’s important to determine which foods are best for your body’s digestive system, so you can be sure you’re not doing more harm than good. This means not only looking into food allergies and food sensitivities but also foods that generally create more inflammation in the body. Our goal is to help you get the most out of what you’re consuming, to best fuel and nourish your body.

Gut Health FAQs
1. What symptoms indicate poor gut health?
Common signs include persistent bloating, irregular bowel movements (constipation or diarrhea), food sensitivities, fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, and mood imbalances.
2. What tests do you use to assess gut health?
We offer stool microbiome analysis, breath testing (for SIBO), intestinal permeability testing (leaky gut), and functional blood work to tailor your treatment.
3. How long does gut healing take?
While many clients see improvements in 4–6 weeks, full gut healing (especially for leaky gut or SIBO) often takes 3–6 months of consistent nutrition and lifestyle changes.
4. Can gut health affect my mood or energy?
Yes, the gut-brain axis connects your digestive system to your nervous system—imbalances in gut flora can trigger anxiety, depression, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.
5. Is this treatment right for IBS, IBD, or acid reflux?
Absolutely. We specialize in using functional testing and personalized protocols to address IBS, IBD, acid reflux, and SIBO to rebalance gut function naturally.
