All Disease Begins in The Gut” - Hippocrates

Gut health is the foundation of good health. If your gut is unhealthy, there’s a good chance that it’s negatively affecting other parts of the body. You may not realize that it’s actually your digestive health that is driving symptoms.

Symptoms such as abdominal pain, reflux, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation are obvious signs of poor gut health. But imbalances in the gut can extend to seemingly unconnected symptoms such as fatigue, lack of energy, brain fog, joint pain, headaches, skin problems (such as eczema or psoriasis), hormonal imbalances, low mood, low immunity, autoimmune conditions, and much more.

From a functional medicine perspective, we know that all systems in the body are interconnected. Imbalances in the gut can affect every part of the body and resolving them can have a significant impact on health and vitality.

When we look at the root cause of chronic symptoms, poor gut health is very often at the heart of it.

Many diseases and conditions are rooted in inflammation and it so often starts in the gut. Inflammation aside, gut health can be impacted by a range of other factors, including nutrition, medications, chronic stress, blood sugar imbalances, poor sleep, and exposure to toxins and heavy metals. Understanding the factors that are driving your symptoms is the first step to restoring health and vitality.
