GUT HEALTH

 

We are learning more and more about how important our digestive health is every day. It is not an understatement to say that our digestive health is key to our overall health and wellness. It is known that the health of our digestive system has an impact on our immune system, hormone health, mental health, and energy just to name a few.

When your digestive system is working properly it should not affect your daily life. You shouldn’t have to worry about where the washroom is or have regular bloating, reflux or excessive gas. By getting to the root cause of your issue we are able to determine what is causing your symptoms and put you in control again.

What and how you eat can have a big impact,  not only on your digestive health but also your overall health. Diet and nutrition is a topic that is reviewed with every patient, especially when they are experiencing digestive disturbances. There are a variety of ways for us to identify foods that may be aggravating your symptoms. 

My goal is to help you understand why you are struggling and how we can use naturopathic medicine to support you. With a comprehensive history and proper investigation, we work to identify the root cause of your concerns. Then by using informed and individualized care plans consisting of nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance (and pharmaceuticals when necessary) we work together to reduce or eliminate bothersome symptoms.
