Gut Health

Restore digestive function & whole-body wellness through root-cause care.

Do These Sound Familiar?

Gut dysfunction affects far more than digestion. Many patients experience a combination of these symptoms:

Bloating & gas constipation or diarrhea acid reflux food sensitivities brain fog skin issues (eczema, acne) chronic fatigue joint pain anxiety & depression frequent illness.

Why Gut Health Is the Foundation of Total Wellness

Your gut does far more than digest food. It houses roughly 70% of your immune system, produces key neurotransmitters like serotonin, and plays a central role in hormone metabolism and detoxification. When gut function breaks down, the effects ripple throughout your entire body.

Common gut conditions we address:

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth): Bacteria in the wrong place causing bloating, gas, and malabsorption of nutrients
Leaky Gut (Intestinal Permeability): A compromised gut lining that allows undigested food particles and toxins into the bloodstream, triggering systemic inflammation
Dysbiosis: An imbalance of beneficial and harmful gut bacteria that affects digestion, immunity, and mood
Food Sensitivities: Delayed immune reactions to certain foods that drive chronic inflammation and a wide range of symptoms

Conventional medicine often treats gut symptoms with antacids or fiber recommendations. We look deeper to understand why your gut isn't functioning and address it at the source.

Identify the Root Cause

We investigate what's driving your gut dysfunction—whether it's infections, food sensitivities, stress, toxin exposure, or a history of antibiotic use—so we can address the actual problem, not just mask symptoms.

Patient Success Story

I dealt with bloating, brain fog, and skin breakouts for over a decade. Multiple doctors told me to eat more fiber and take a probiotic. Dr. Amy ran comprehensive GI testing and found SIBO along with significant dysbiosis. Her step-by-step gut restoration protocol changed everything. My bloating is gone, my skin cleared up, and I have more mental clarity than I've had in years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is leaky gut and how do I know if I have it?

Leaky gut, or intestinal permeability, occurs when the tight junctions in your intestinal lining become compromised, allowing undigested food particles, toxins, and bacteria to pass into your bloodstream. This triggers widespread inflammation and can show up as food sensitivities, skin issues, joint pain, brain fog, and autoimmune flare-ups. Advanced GI testing can help us identify markers of intestinal permeability.

Do I need to follow a strict elimination diet?

Not necessarily. While temporary dietary adjustments are often part of the healing process, we tailor recommendations to your specific test results and lifestyle. Some patients benefit from a short-term elimination protocol to identify trigger foods, while others may only need targeted modifications. The goal is always to expand your diet over time as your gut heals—not restrict it permanently.

Can gut health really affect my mood and energy?

Absolutely. Your gut produces about 90% of your body's serotonin and communicates directly with your brain through the gut-brain axis. Gut dysfunction, inflammation, and dysbiosis can significantly impact your mood, anxiety levels, energy, and cognitive function. Many patients are surprised by how much their mental clarity and emotional well-being improve when their gut health is restored.

How long does it take to heal the gut?

Gut healing timelines vary depending on the severity of dysfunction and how long the issue has been present. Many patients experience noticeable improvement in bloating, energy, and digestion within the first 4-6 weeks. More complex conditions like SIBO or significant intestinal permeability may take 3-6 months of consistent work. We monitor your progress closely and adjust your protocol as your gut heals.
