True Wellness Begins in the Gut.

Our functional medicine approach to gut health goes beyond managing symptoms. As your trusted gut health specialist in Utah County, we use advanced testing to uncover the root cause of your digestive issues and create a personalized plan to restore balance.

What is Functional Gut Health? 

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, collectively known as your microbiome, which influences everything from your digestion and immunity to your mood, energy, skin clarity, and hormonal balance.

A functional approach to gut health focuses on restoring the optimal balance of this delicate ecosystem. Instead of just prescribing medication for symptoms of conditions like IBS or acid reflux, we investigate the "why" behind them, providing functional health solutions that lead to long-term healing.

Is Your Gut Trying to Tell You Something?

While obvious digestive issues like bloating and IBS are clear signs of an imbalanced gut, the symptoms can often appear elsewhere in the body. An unhealthy gut can be the root cause of skin problems, autoimmune flare-ups like Hashimoto's, chronic fatigue, and even hormonal imbalances.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Addressing the root causes of chronic bloating, gas, constipation, and diarrhea.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

Providing effective SIBO treatment plans to eliminate bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.

Intestinal Permeability (Leaky Gut)

Healing the gut lining to reduce inflammation, food sensitivities, and systemic symptoms.

Dysbiosis (Microbiome Imbalance)

Restoring a healthy balance of gut bacteria to improve overall wellness.

Other Gastrointestinal Symptoms

Acid Reflux, Food Sensitivities, and Chronic Bloating.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gut Health

What is the microbiome?
The microbiome is the community of trillions of bacteria and other microbes that live in your gut. A healthy, diverse microbiome is essential for proper digestion, a strong immune system, and even balanced mental health.
What is SIBO?

SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. It occurs when bacteria that should normally live in the large intestine migrate and grow in the small intestine, causing symptoms like extreme bloating, gas, and abdominal pain.

How is leaky gut diagnosed?
Leaky gut, or intestinal permeability, can be identified through advanced functional testing that measures specific markers in the blood or stool, which can indicate damage to the intestinal lining.
How is this different from seeing a conventional gastroenterologist?
While both are valuable, a conventional approach often focuses on diagnosing diseases and managing symptoms with medication. Our functional approach focuses on identifying and correcting the underlying imbalances in the gut ecosystem to restore its natural, healthy function.
