Heal your gut
Problems with digestion?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome | Ulcerative Colitis | Acid Reflux | Constipation | Diarrhea | Autoimmune Disease | Skin Problems
Problems with your digestion can lead to issues such as skin problems, autoimmune conditions, type 1 diabetes and more. The natural place to begin healing chronic symptoms is with an elimination diet meant to identify food triggers.
We follow the 5R framework for restoring gut health. In many cases, you may have already begun this process yourself. Schedule a consultation to discuss how we can help you apply this framework to heal from the inside out.
When the gut lining is compromised, molecules enter your bloodstream that would normally be blocked. This causes increased inflammation, overactive immune responses, and compromised health in the long term. By healing your gut lining, we can begin to restore proper functioning of the immune system, decrease overall inflammation, and eliminate many symptoms of fatigue, skin issues, and more.
5R Framework
-
1. Remove
We start by eliminating anything that interferes with proper digestion. This could be a food trigger, stress, or problematic microbes such as bacteria or yeast.
-
2. Replace
Using foods and supplements, we add necessary substances for proper digestion. These could be enzymes, acids, and anything that supports enhanced digestion and restores normal digestive function.
-
3. Repopulate
In this step, we help build back the natural microbiome of the gut by adding beneficial bacteria using probiotic foods and supplements.
-
4. Repair
By repairing the gut lining, we can improve digestive function, increase energy, and improve elimination. This step is where using an expert herbalist offers the best advantage over other functional medicine providers.
-
5. Rebalance
This is where Healthcare Harmonics thrives. Stress and lack of sleep compromises your digestive system lining. By offering mindfulness options, movement classes, and lifestyle support, you can maintain your digestive health.
