Gut Health and a Functional Medicine Approach

If you have poor gut health, it can lead to weight loss resistance and a number of inflammatory conditions, anxiety, depression, fatigue, autoimmune disease, and many, many more. When your gut health is “off  balance” it offsets many of the processes that take place in your body, including maintaining a healthy weight.  When I say “off balance,” I mean a battle has started in your body.

Normally, your body and your immune system will do anything to protect you, but now it is struggling to maintain balance. Because of this, a cascade of inflammation has taken place in your body and you are feeling the effects.

We need to end this “battle,” begin to repair your gut, help you lose weight, and restore your health.  That’s where I come in.  I will teach you how to give your gut the love and support that it needs. How do we do this?  We work together and take a functional approach to your nutrition and wellbeing, meaning we look for the root cause.

You will be the expert,  after all nobody knows your body better than you.  I’ll teach you the principles and tools you need to regain balance in every part of your body. You will decide where you need the most help and what works best for you.

 

In taking a Functional Medicine approach, we will focus on all of you, meaning these four pillars;

  1. Nutrition and Hydration
  2. Exercise and Movement
  3. Sleep patterns
  4. Stress management

We’ll approach your nutrition in a functional manner which considers that your diet can impact every aspect of your health and wellbeing. You will see that my approach is not a one-size fits all.  Instead, it is a highly customized plan that considers your unique specifications. Whether it’s weight loss resistance, fatigue, or brain fog, we will use these symptoms as clues to determine the root cause.  These could be related to not only diet, but sleep habits, lack of movement, or failing to manage stress.

Your doctor will take care of the medical components of your care. I will help you follow your treatment plan while making it a priority to focus on the four pillars I mentioned above. This will all be done with the goal of helping you to restore BALANCE from the inside out.

 

In taking a functional approach, I will teach you principles that are based on the latest evidence-based practice from some of the most well respected functional medicine practitioners. These principles will take you from feeling sick, frustrated, and hopeless to healthy, vibrant, and in control of your health and life.
