A Healthier Gut = A Healthier You

In Naturopathic Medicine, we place such strong emphasis on gut health. This is because the gut plays far more roles than just digestion. A healthy gut supports your immune system, energy levels, skin, and even heart health. Emerging research shows that poor gut health is linked to a wide range of conditions, including autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, COPD, and even atrial fibrillation. Moreover, impaired nutrient absorption due to gastrointestinal dysfunction can contribute to health issues like osteoporosis, anemia, hair loss, and fatigue. That’s why having a healthy gastrointestinal system is foundational for overall health, and naturopathic doctors are uniquely trained to assess and manage gut health through a holistic, evidence-informed approach.

Here Are 5 Interesting Facts About Your Gut!

1. The gut has its own “second brain”, the enteric nervous system, which can regulate the digestion process independently

2. The gut houses approximately the same number of bacteria as your own body cells

3. 70% of your immune system is in gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT)

4. 90% of serotonin, the "feel good" neurotransmitter, is produced in the gut

5. The gut lining renews every 3 - 5 days, making it one of the fastest replicating tissues in the body

Our Holistic Healing Approach

We take a holistic and comprehensive approach to health by reviewing your full medical history, presenting symptoms, medications, supplementation, diet, lifestyle factors, and mental health. Many patients come to us feeling confused about what they should eat or whether costly “functional” tests are necessary to finally find that magic solution to their health concerns. Our approach focuses on clear, evidence-based, and practical strategies to relieve uncomfortable symptoms such as constipation, bloating, and excessive gas, without resorting to restrictive diets or unnecessary, expensive testing.

Our treatment plans emphasize preventative screening, improving symptoms, optimizing nutrient absorption, and identifying dietary or pharmaceutical triggers that may be impacting gut function. We use supportive natural therapies, IV therapy, and clinically proven dietary interventions to help restore comfort, enhance quality of life, and allow you to return to normal daily and social activities.
