WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO OPTIMIZE GUT HEALTH?
Digestive health is important for overall health. Whether you suffer from inconvenient symptoms like gas, bloating, reflux or abdominal pains, or are diagnosed with IBD (Crohn's or Colitis), IBS or other functional disease, it's important to dig into things deeper.
WHO SHOULD I SEE AT ABSOLUTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS?
Naturopaths work regularly with digestive diseases. We look to identify the root cause of your conditions.
HOW WE COMMONLY WORK ON GUT HEALTH
- Supplements (Herbs, Vitamins, Minerals): many natural substances have strong human research showing they can be effective in treating various digestive issues - from indigestion, to bloating to inflammatory bowel diseases
- Lifestyle and Behavior Modification: the things we do everyday such as diet, exercise and sleep have huge impacts on gut health
- Specialized Testing: Depending on your case, specialized testing may be helpful
- Acupuncture: naturopaths in Ontario are licensed to administer acupuncture, which has been shown in research to be highly effective managing many different functional digestive concerns
- Nutrition and Diet: the food we eat plays a role in our health, including our gut health
Every person is different, and gut health presents differently for everyone, so we always take an individualized approach to treating your concerns.
