Gut & Digestive Health
Bloating after meals, unpredictable digestion, food sensitivities that seem to change by the week — I hear this from patients all the time. I use a functional medicine approach to get to the bottom of your gut issues, looking at diet, microbiome balance, stress, and the powerful gut-brain connection. (For more on how I work with digestion, see my Digestive Issues page.)
How I Can Help
- IBS symptoms — identifying your personal triggers and calming an irritated gut through nutrition and acupuncture.
- Bloating — getting to the root of post-meal bloating and discomfort with targeted dietary and lifestyle changes.
- Food sensitivities — uncovering the foods that are working against you and rebuilding a diet that actually nourishes you.
- Gut-brain connection — addressing how stress and anxiety show up in your digestion, and calming both directions of the conversation.
My Approach
I start by listening to your story and mapping out your digestive patterns. With functional medicine testing when it’s useful, I look for root causes — imbalances in gut bacteria, food triggers, stress load, and nutrient gaps. Acupuncture helps settle an overreactive digestive system while we rebuild with nutrition and lifestyle shifts. My goal is a calm, predictable gut that lets you eat and live without constant worry.
Supplements I often suggest
For gut and digestive health, these are the supplements I suggest most often in my practice:
- Mega SporeBiotic (Microbiome Labs) — Spore-based probiotic that supports gut barrier function and microbial diversity.
- EnzymixPro (Apex Energetics) — Broad-spectrum digestive enzymes plus HCl for breaking down meals.
- Fiber Prebiotic Complete (Designs for Health) — Twelve types of fiber to support digestion, glucose, and lipid levels.
