How I Can Help You
I will work with you to naturally manage the cause of your gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea, cramping, flatulence, bloating, general discomfort, abdominal/GI discomfort, unpredictable/frequent bowel movements and constipation.
Addressing digestive dysfunction does vary based on the root cause, however dietary factors, stress, sleep and environmental toxins all play a role in treating the full picture. Individualized testing allows us to determine the root cause together.
I also have a passion for supporting patients with autoimmune diseases. Approximately 80% of our immune system is in the gut, therefore a healthy gastrointestinal tract is integral in supporting a robust immune system.
Autoimmune Disease Causes
Autoimmune diseases occur when the body creates cells that attack its own tissue. While the exact cause of autoimmune disease is often unknown and poorly understood, contributing factors to autoimmunity include stress, infections, poor diet and poor gut health.
Support for Autoimmune Diseases
The root cause of many different autoimmune diseases is often related to an abnormal immune system response. Treatment plans are customized for each individual person and condition. Through supplementation, stress management, toxin elimination and healthy eating, we’ll aim to improve your gut health and minimize the side effects of prescription drugs.
Specific Areas of Focus
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (Heartburn)
- Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis)
- Hyperthyroidism (Graves’ Disease)
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Psoriasis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
- Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
- Symptoms of Gut Dysfunction: diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, bloating
- Symptoms of Autoimmune Disease: muscle pain, joint pain, inflammation
Coordinated Care
Together we will focus on a naturopathic approach to your gastrointestinal health or autoimmunity but I encourage patients to utilize their primary care doctor for acute care and routine screening needs (mammogram, Pap test, vaccinations, etc.). As needed, we can work alongside your primary care doctor and specialists for highly coordinated care.
The best outcomes are seen in patients that are committed to making lifestyle changes. To achieve successful results, you will need to put in time and effort to improve your health. I am happy to discuss more on a free phone consultation.
