Healing Your Gut with Functional Medicine at Hygenia Medicine in Grand Rapids, MI
The health of your gut plays a central role in your overall well-being, influencing everything from digestion to mood, immunity, and energy levels. At Hygeia Medicine, we specialize in Functional medicine to address gut issues holistically and effectively, helping you achieve optimal health.
The Functional Medicine Approach to Gut Health
Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on managing symptoms, Functinoal Medicine delves into the root causes of your gut problems. By running labs we can assess what's going on in your microbiome, which attributes to 80% of your immune system!
Common Gut Issues We Address
At Hygeia Medicine, we treat a wide range of gut-related conditions, including:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Alleviating discomfort, bloating, and irregular bowel movements.
- Leaky Gut Syndrome: Repairing the intestinal lining to reduce inflammation and food sensitivities.
- Acid Reflux: Identifying triggers and restoring balance for lasting relief.
- Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): Addressing imbalances in gut bacteria to enhance digestion and absorption.
- Food Intolerances and Sensitivities: Uncovering dietary triggers to support optimal gut function.
- Chronic Constipation or Diarrhea: Restoring regularity through personalized interventions.
Personalized Gut Health Assessment
Our approach begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. We use advanced diagnostic tools, such as:
- Comprehensive stool testing to evaluate your microbiome.
- Food sensitivity testing to identify potential dietary triggers.
- Hormonal and metabolic assessments to uncover underlying imbalances.
