GUT HEALTH
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Functional medicine and integrative medicine utilize modern, conventional medicine along with naturopathic modalities to diagnose and treat patients. We seek the ROOT CAUSE of your digestive issues rather than masking them with medications or only treating symptoms. Employing pharmacotherapy, natural medicines, and herbs, we treat underlying inflammation and metabolic conditions and work with you to find a solution.
​
We specialize in gut health (SIBO, SIFO, leaky gut, irritable bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome), digestive health, and related concerns that may impact your overall health and wellness goals.

Unexplained fatigue or brain fog
