Your gut is more than just a place for food to pass through. It plays a critical role in:
- Metabolizing food into energy: The gut breaks down what you eat into fuel for your body.
- Clearing waste products: Efficient digestion is crucial for removing toxins from your system.
- Absorbing nutrients: Without proper absorption, your body can’t get the essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients it needs.
- Supporting immune system health: With most of your immune system housed in the gut, its health directly impacts your body’s defense against illness from infection, allergies, food sensitivities, and more.
- Balancing hormones: The gut is integral to hormone regulation. An imbalanced gut can disrupt hormone levels, affecting everything from mood and energy to metabolism and reproductive health.
When the gut is out of balance, it can lead to inflammation, and a wide range of symptoms affecting how your brain and body function, including how you feel.

Our Testing Approach
In our Gut Restoration Program, we take a comprehensive approach to uncover the root causes of your symptoms, including:
[+] Comprehensive GI Analysis: We evaluate your gut microbiome, looking for signs of bacterial imbalances, infections, and inflammatory markers. This test also helps identify problems with nutrient absorption issues.
[+] Anemia and Infection Screening: By testing for various forms of anemia and infections, including yeast overgrowth, we can identify hidden sources of inflammation that may be driving symptoms.
[+] Stress Physiology and Cortisol Levels: Elevated cortisol can lead to gut dysbiosis, poor microbial health, and inflammation, contributing to both digestive and neurological symptoms.
[+] Glucose Control and Metabolic Health: Stable blood sugar levels are essential for both gut and brain health. We evaluate your glucose control, as fluctuations can impact digestion and increases stress on the body, affecting gut function and mental clarity.
[+] LPS & Autoimmune Disease Evaluation: We assess levels of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which are inflammatory molecules produced by certain gut bacteria. This evaluation also helps us identify markers of gastric autoimmune disease, providing insight into how immune dysregulation may be impacting your digestive health.
[+] Hormone and Thyroid Panels: Hormonal imbalances can affect digestion and gut health. We evaluate thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormone levels to understand how these may be impacting both the gut and brain.
[+] Nutrient Deficiency Testing: Poor gut health often leads to nutrient malabsorption, resulting in deficiencies in key vitamins and minerals essential for brain function and energy.
[+] Environmental and Toxicity Panels: For patients with mold exposure, Lyme disease, or other environmental factors, the presence and impact of these toxins can compromise both gut health and brain function, exacerbating symptoms.
Who Can Benefit?

Here are three examples of patients who could benefit from our Gut Restoration Program:
Case 1: Autoimmune Disease and Gastric Bloat
Meet Sarah. She had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition, and suffered from unpredictable bloating and abdominal pain. Testing revealed both leaky gut and specific food sensitivities, which were exacerbating her immune response. Through gut restoration, we reduced inflammation, managed her sensitivities, and balanced her microbiome, leading to reduced bloating and improved energy levels.
Case 2: Persistent Brain Fog and Fatigue from Mold Toxicity
Meet Tom. Despite seeing various doctors, he couldn’t pinpoint the cause for how he felt. Our environmental toxicity panel showed significant exposures affecting his gut health, hormones & brain. With a tailored gut restoration protocol, including microbiome support and detoxification, Tom experienced improved mental clarity, reduced fatigue, and overall better gut health.
Case 3: Digestive Discomfort and Weight Loss Resistance from SIBO
Meet Lisa. She had tried multiple diets with limited success. After running a complete work up, head to toe, we discovered she had bacterial overgrowth disrupting her digestion shifting her immune and hormone systems. A targeted treatment plan with gut support and lifestyle modifications helped her regain comfort in her digestive health, shed excess weight, and experience fewer health disruptions.
