Hippocrates once said, “All disease begins in the gut.” Today, science is proving him right. Research shows that your gut affects nearly every part of your health — from immunity and mood to skin issues and autoimmune conditions. That’s because your gut is home to a complex mix of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes called the gut microbiome. These tiny organisms communicate with your brain through what’s called the gut-brain axis. In short: when your gut is out of balance, it can throw off your whole body.

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE FOR
GUT IMBALANCES
At Balanced Healing, we don’t stop at surface-level symptoms. If you’ve been told your gut issues are “just something you have to live with,” it’s time to dig deeper.
Digestive symptoms are often chronic, confusing, and connected to other areas of your health — but they’re never random. If you’ve been dealing with gut-related symptoms for months or years without resolution, functional lab testing may be essential. Using results from tests like the Comprehensive Stool Analysis by Mosaic Dx, the 3-Hour Hydrogen and Methane SIBO breath test, and/or H. pylori testing, Juliann creates a precise, individualized plan to uncover root causes and restore healthy gut function.

-
Increase hydration and reduce alcohol and sugary drink intake
