Do you struggle with reflux, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea or just feel “yuck”? Unfortunately, many Americans feel this way. Proton pump inhibitor prescriptions sharply increased by 432% between 2007 and 2016 and many of these patients still have not found a solution to their GI distress. Research has proven that the gut is the foundation of wellness – when the gut is inflamed, the rest of the body is inflamed. Our approach to treating digestive complaints centers around addressing four common causes of dysfunction: stress, toxins, food sensitivities and infections of the gut. We utilize advanced stool testing to uncover many chronic infections that, for most, have persisted for years. Based on information we gather from your history and testing, we customize a treatment plan including diet changes, herbal treatments as well as prescription treatments (when necessary). You can learn more about gut health and our approach on our podcast episode here: “Busting Medical Myths: Leaky gut isn’t real.”

Do you refuse to accept that you have to suffer from autoimmunity for life? We do too. Conventional medicine tells us that once you are diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, you will be on those medications forever and that your condition cannot be put into remission. However, research has shown that there are many factors that contribute to immune system dysregulation including gut imbalance and inflammation, food allergies and sensitivities, heavy metal toxicity, mold toxicity, chronic lyme disease, chronic viral infections, hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiency, stress and emotional trauma. When we address the underlying cause of inflammation and immune system dysregulation, we begin to see antibody levels decrease meaning that the body is no longer creating antibodies to its own tissues. You can learn more about autoimmune conditions and our approach on our podcast episode here: “Busting Medical Myths: Autoimmune conditions can’t be reversed.”

Do you feel like your hormones are betraying you? Are you suffering from brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, sleep issues or just feel like you are falling apart?! We completely understand! As we get older and experience life stressors, lack of sleep, growing families et cetera, our hormones shift and sometimes it is not for the better!! Or maybe your situation is a little different and you have struggled with hormonal imbalance your entire life resulting in acne, painful or heavy periods, weight gain, irregular periods, etc.

There are many factors that are involved in hormonal balance including stress, nutrition, thyroid function, proper detoxification, and overall hormone levels. We approach hormonal problems by taking an extensive history and evaluating every aspect that is contributing to hormonal imbalance. We utilize comprehensive urine, salivary and serum testing to analyze your overall hormone balance and detox pathways. And yes! We treat men as well!
