Welcome to the Healthy Gut Microbiome
What is Gut Health?
Gut health refers to the balance and function of the gastrointestinal system, including the microbiome - the trillions of bacteria residing in your digestive tract. A healthy gut is crucial for digestion, immune function, and even mental well-being. When this balance is disrupted, it can lead to various health issues, including gut dysbiosis and leaky gut syndrome.

Managing the Delicate Balance
Gut Health Program Recovery
While our gut health program doesn't require recovery in the traditional sense, it does involve a period of adjustment as your body responds to probiotic supplements and dietary changes like fermented foods. Over 4-6 weeks, this elimination diet will remove most offending foods so we can reintroduce them later and determine what (if any) foods cause negative gut reactions. This also gives the gut the chance to heal, which can help with improving the effectiveness of pre/probiotics, supplements, and other nutrient therapies. Most patients start noticing improvements within a few weeks, but full benefits may take several months to manifest.
Restoring the Microbial Balance
Gut Health Program Results
Many patients report feeling better within 2-4 weeks of starting the program, with significant improvements in digestive symptoms, energy levels, and overall well-being typically seen within 3-6 months. The results of our gut health program can be long-lasting, especially when combined with ongoing healthy lifestyle choices. We provide you with the tools and knowledge to maintain your improved gut health for the long term.

Many patients experience increased energy and reduced joint discomfort as their gut health improves, due to better nutrient absorption and reduced inflammation.
Diet plays a crucial role in gut health. We provide personalized nutrition plans that typically involve increasing fiber intake, reducing processed foods, and identifying potential food sensitivities.
While controversial in some medical circles, we recognize leaky gut syndrome as a condition where the intestinal lining becomes more permeable, potentially leading to various health issues. Our program addresses the underlying factors contributing to this condition.
We use a combination of symptom assessment, medical history review, and advanced diagnostic tests, including comprehensive stool analysis, food sensitivity testing, and the Thorne Gut Health Test.
