A Functional Medicine Approach to Everyday Digestive Concerns

Digestive symptoms like constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and gas are common, but that doesn't mean you have to simply live with them.

Our Gut Health Focus Appointment is designed for patients with more straightforward digestive concerns who want to better understand what may be contributing to their symptoms and take a functional medicine approach to improving their gut health.

During your appointment, one of our clinicians will review your symptoms, health history, nutrition, and other factors that may be affecting digestion and develop a personalized plan to help you feel better.

Our Approach

Your digestive symptoms can be influenced by many factors, including what you eat, hydration, stress, medications, supplements, gut bacteria, and overall lifestyle.

Rather than simply treating constipation, diarrhea, or bloating as an isolated symptom, we look for patterns that may help explain why your digestion isn't functioning as well as it should.

When appropriate, your provider may recommend additional testing to better understand your digestive health.

What to Expect During Your Focus Appointment

Your clinician may:

  • Review your digestive symptoms and health history
  • Discuss your nutrition and lifestyle
  • Review medications and supplements
  • Evaluate previous testing
  • Recommend additional testing when appropriate
  • Develop personalized nutrition, lifestyle, supplement, or treatment recommendations

Our Goal

Our goal is to help you understand what's contributing to your digestive symptoms and give you practical, personalized steps to improve your gut health and feel Fully Functional®.

Not sure if a Gut Health Focus Appointment or Comprehensive Care is right for you?

A Gut Health Focus Appointment is intended for more straightforward digestive concerns.

If you have a complex gastrointestinal condition, significant unexplained symptoms, multiple overlapping health concerns, or have undergone extensive testing and treatment without improvement, Comprehensive Care for Complex GI Issues may be a better fit.

Our team can help you determine where to begin if you're unsure.

FOCUS APPOINTMENT

Our Focus Hike™ is a targeted care plan for a specific health concern.

Our Focus Hike™ is designed for patients who know something feels off and want answers around a specific health concern.

This may include hormones, sexual health, GI issues, weight changes, allergies, thyroid concerns, metabolic health, or other targeted symptoms that need a deeper look.

When your symptoms are centered around one specific concern, we'll take the time to identify what's driving that issue and develop a focused, personalized treatment plan.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE

Our Mountain Climb™ is an in-depth care plan for complex or chronic health issues.

Our Mountain Climb™ journey is for patients who need a deeper, more investigative approach.

This is often the right fit for those dealing with chronic health concerns, mold-related illness, autoimmune diseases, complex infections, inflammation, fatigue, neurological symptoms, or years of feeling dismissed, stuck, or without answers.

We take the time to understand your entire health story, identify what's contributing to your symptoms, and create a personalized care plan that helps you restore your health, not just manage your diagnoses.
