Digestive Health

Chronic bloating? Acid reflux? Changes in bowel habits? Abdominal pain? When our digestion is not functioning optimally, we feel it. The discomfort may not only put a damper on your day, but poor digestive function can also seriously impact other aspects of health - from poor nutrition to improper immune function, decreased mood and cognition, and aggravation of inflammatory conditions elsewhere in the body .

Our digestive system plays a central role in our health and digestive disturbances are often the first sign that there is something afoot. Issues in the gut that go unresolved can trigger or aggravate skin conditions, allergies, autoimmune diseases, thyroid issues, and so much more. Addressing the gut will not only help alleviate the digestive symptoms, but will also contribute to correcting other concomitant health problems.

Testing for nutrient levels, food allergies and sensitivities, SIBO, or other microbial dysbiosis is often a first step and will provide clarity on which treatments would be most effective. If there are significant nutrient deficiencies present, IV therapy can be an efficient way to replenishing the body and helping you feel better sooner.
