Digestion & Gut Health

Your digestive health plays a foundational role in your overall wellness, affecting everything from energy levels to immunity and mental clarity. Whether you’re experiencing bloating, heartburn, or other persistent gut issues, I’ll work with you to uncover the root cause and restore balance to your digestive system.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

IBS is a common yet frustrating condition characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation. The causes are often multifactorial, involving gut-brain communication, food sensitivities, or stress.

Testing: Stool analysis, SIBO breath testing, and food sensitivity testing can uncover triggers and gut imbalances.

Treatment: Treatment focuses on calming the gut with dietary strategies like low-FODMAP plans, healing the gut lining, and regulating stress with natural therapies.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

SIBO occurs when bacteria overgrow in the small intestine, leading to bloating, gas, and discomfort after meals. It’s often linked to IBS or previous gut infections.

Testing: SIBO breath testing is the gold standard to diagnose this condition.

Treatment: Targeted antimicrobial protocols, prokinetics, and diet modifications (e.g., low-FODMAP or elemental diets) help resolve symptoms and prevent recurrence.

Acid Reflux & Heartburn

Chronic acid reflux isn’t just uncomfortable—it can lead to long-term damage if untreated. Despite common beliefs, reflux isn’t always caused by too much stomach acid; it’s often due to other digestive dysfunctions.

Testing: Stomach acid levels, food sensitivities, and inflammation markers are assessed to determine the underlying cause.

Treatment: Treatment may involve optimizing stomach acid production, dietary adjustments, and soothing the esophagus with demulcent herbs.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis involve chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, causing pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and nutrient malabsorption.

Testing: Stool tests, inflammatory markers, and nutrient panels can provide insights into inflammation and nutrient status.

Treatment: Anti-inflammatory diets, targeted supplements, and stress management therapies can help reduce flare-ups and support long-term gut healing.

Food Sensitivities & Intolerances

Unidentified food sensitivities can cause digestive distress, skin reactions, or fatigue, making them difficult to pinpoint on your own.

Testing: Food sensitivity testing or elimination diets help identify problem foods.

Treatment: Once triggers are identified, we focus on removing them while healing the gut to reduce sensitivity over time.

Constipation & Bloating

These common but often overlooked symptoms can result from gut motility issues, dehydration, or imbalanced gut bacteria.

Testing: Comprehensive stool testing and motility assessments can uncover the root cause.

Treatment: We address these issues with dietary changes, hydration strategies, herbal laxatives, and gut microbiome support.

Leaky Gut Syndrome

Leaky gut occurs when the gut lining becomes damaged, allowing undigested food particles and toxins to pass into the bloodstream, triggering inflammation.

Testing: Zonulin levels, stool testing, and food sensitivity panels help confirm leaky gut.

Treatment: Healing the gut lining with glutamine, collagen, and anti-inflammatory herbs, alongside lifestyle changes, forms the cornerstone of treatment.
