Digestive Health
Digestive health is essential to optimal health. 80% of your immune system is found within the gastrointestinal tract; damage to the small intestine or to the integrity of the GI system as a whole can result in a number of various ailments from Inflammatory Bowel Diseases such as Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis to Depression and Weight Fluctuation.
My goal is to determine the quality of your digestive health by completing a comprehensive investigation. This analysis will include: assessing your health history, completing a physical examination and undergoing specific diagnostic testing. I will work with you to re-establish your gut integrity and will educate you on foods and beverages to include or avoid, necessary nutrients and botanical herbs to supplement with and stress-management techniques that are known to have profound effects on digestive functioning.
