Gut Health involves the efficient digestion and absorption of food, the right gut bacteria in proper balance, and the removal of toxins from your body by thoroughly eliminating waste products. Digestive Health is critical to your overall health and well-being.
There are many benefits that come with Digestive Health, including:
Depending on the condition being addressed, benefits of improving your Digestive Health could even range from losing weight to improving longevity and slowing the effects of aging.
Some of the conditions that have been addressed with Digestive Health therapies include:
At your initial consultation, we will discuss your medical history, current and past medications, daily stressors, diet, exercise habits, and current health issues. We may explore issues like appetite, sleep, bowel movements, and current emotional state. All of this is designed to fully understand what areas of your health would benefit from improving your Digestive Health.
Our priority in any treatment we offer is to understand your overall health and the specific conditions you wish to treat. At that point, we can then focus on specific type(s) of interventions and treatments that we think would benefit your Digestive Health condition or symptoms.
No two Digestive Health conditions are identical – just like no two people are the same. The first step is to understand what is at the root of your digestive problems. Diagnosis is a key factor in determining which treatments will work. You cannot treat what you do not understand.
That’s why it’s important to work with a Functional Medicine doctor who seeks to understand the underlying root causes of your health issues – so that treatments can be fine-tuned to address your specific health needs.
Conventional medicine usually prescribes an array of pills for digestive complaints. In addition to our full grasp of conventional treatment methods, some of the unique treatments and therapies we use that could help your particular digestive concerns may include:
Vitamin and Nutrient Shots – also known as IM shots or IM injections – involve the delivery of nutrients ranging from amino acids to Vitamin B12 via an intramuscular (IM) injection. Physicians often utilize these shots as a delivery mechanism for various nutrients, vitamins and minerals, especially when oral versions are not being absorbed properly or quickly enough due to digestive issues.
IV Therapy – the Myers’ Cocktail being the most well-known version – involves utilizing IV Therapy as a delivery mechanism for various nutrients, vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream.
Medical Weight Loss – including medication-assisted weight loss with Tirzepatide and Semaglutide – can help with many health-related problems, including digestive concerns.
Peptide Therapy – which has shown remarkable effectiveness with conditions like IBD – can be a gamechanger in terms of Digestive Health.
