Gut Health

Gut health is central in functional medicine.

The gut

Why we look here

Every day, our bodies are exposed to toxins — in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the products we put on our skin. These exposures can disrupt the delicate balance of our gut microbiome.

By examining the function and balance of your gut, we can uncover clues that help explain — and address — many aspects of your overall health.

Testing

Testing we use

  1. Step 1 — Comprehensive bloodwork

    Bloodwork is the first viewing pane into your overall health. It tells us what systems need help, how inflamed you are, and whether your body is in an environment that can heal. A lot of gastrointestinal information comes from bloodwork alone, and it's typically more cost-efficient than specialty GI testing.

    Lab Testing & Bloodwork
  2. Step 2 — GI mapping, if it's warranted

    If necessary, GI mapping usually comes later in the sequence — though in severe, debilitating cases it may come first. Ordered case by case. We'll discuss cost and whether it's warranted at your Review of Findings.

Sequencing

Where gut testing fits

We don't stack treatments. We sequence them.

Gut testing is one input among several. Whether it's the right next step depends on what the rest of your picture looks like — and sometimes the answer is that something else comes first.
