Your Gut: The Foundation of Your Health
Did you know that over 70% of your immune system lives in your gut? It’s true—your digestive system plays a much bigger role than just breaking down food. From your energy levels to your mood, skin, and even hormone balance, gut health impacts nearly every system in your body.
In functional medicine, we see the gut as a “root cause” area of health. Instead of only addressing symptoms like bloating, fatigue, or brain fog, we ask: What’s happening in the gut that could be causing these issues?
Signs your gut may be out of balance include:
-
Food sensitivities or frequent bloating
-
Constipation, diarrhea, or irregular digestion
-
Fatigue or “brain fog”
-
Skin conditions like acne, eczema, or rosacea
-
Autoimmune flare-ups
How Functional Medicine Can Help
Functional medicine takes a personalized approach to restoring gut health. We look at nutrition, stress, sleep, lifestyle, and advanced testing when needed. Often, healing involves:
-
Reducing inflammation with the right foods
-
Identifying food triggers
-
Supporting digestion with key nutrients
-
Rebalancing the gut microbiome with probiotics and lifestyle shifts
-
Addressing stress, since it directly affects your gut
