ABOUT DIGESTIVE HEALTH

Many clients come to us because they have not being able to get from results from their GP. They focus on the outward signs and only medicate the obvious issues instead of looking into the hidden causes of the gut malfunction. Several people in the medical field do not realize the overall impact of the gut, particularly the microbiome, which can be the source of problems such as headaches fatigue, and even depression. 

We assist in pinpointing imbalances in the microbiome, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), Candida, and parasites through gut health testing (microbiome testing) and the SIBO breath test. By bringing back the equilibrium to the trillions of bacteria that live in the digestive system, we can significantly improve patients’ lives. Not only do the digestive issues disappear, but the patients also feel more energized, more focused, and in better spirits – proving the effectiveness of healing the gut.

Furthermore, a healthy digestive tract can have far-reaching impacts outside the gut. Studies have revealed that the bacteria present in the gut and other parts of the body have a direct or indirect impact on our physical and mental wellbeing. Disorders such as depression, Parkinson’s disease, anxiety, autism, and others have been associated with the ecosystem within the microbiome.

TREATMENT

With so much conflicting information out there, it can be difficult for the layperson to decipher what nutrition you need, what foods you should eat and other, similar bits of information. We will look to create a customized protocol that takes into consideration your unique needs and challenges. We understand foods aren’t one dimensional and you can get nutrition from different sources and its about looking at sources that provide maximum impact that fits in with your lifestyle, so it becomes part of your health regime.

To evaluate an individual’s microbial balance, we run tests for bacterial overgrowth. Subsequently, we treat the results with appropriate nutrition, herbal remedies, and other dietary supplements where further support is needed.

We can help you optimize your health so you can feel your best again
