IS THIS TREATMENT RIGHT FOR YOU?

Digestive conditions we treat

If your symptoms have lasted for weeks or keep coming back, a gut evaluation is a sensible next step. Your first visit tells us which tests to run and where to start.

HOW TREATMENT WORKS

Our digestive treatment process

We look at the whole digestive system, not one symptom in isolation. Every step is supervised by a physician.

01

Consultation

A detailed review of your symptoms, diet, bowel habits, medications, stress, sleep and health history.

02

Functional gut testing

As appropriate: comprehensive stool and microbiome analysis, SIBO breath testing, food sensitivity testing, inflammation markers, nutrient levels and thyroid function.

Gastrointestinal testing,  Stool testing  

03

Personalized plan

Your physician explains your results and builds a plan that may combine nutrition therapy, targeted supplements, gut repair and stress support.

04

Monitoring & follow-up

Follow-up visits track your symptoms, and retesting when needed lets us adjust the plan as your gut heals.

HOW TREATMENT WORKS

Digestive treatments we offer

Most plans combine two or more of these. Your physician recommends only what your results and symptoms support.

Therapeutic Nutrition & Elimination Diets

Structured eating plans, including elimination diets, guided by your results to find trigger foods and calm symptoms without cutting more than you need.

Microbiome Rebalancing

Targeted probiotics and prebiotics, plus herbal antimicrobial protocols when testing shows overgrowth such as SIBO, to restore a healthier balance of gut bacteria.

Digestive Enzymes & Gut Repair

Enzyme support for poor digestion, plus nutrients that help restore the gut lining in leaky gut and chronic irritation.

Anti-Inflammatory Protocols

Nutrition and targeted nutrients to reduce gut inflammation that can drive pain, bloating and food reactions.

Gut-Brain & Stress Support

Stress affects digestion through the gut-brain axis. We use stress reduction, mind-body practices and acupuncture to support calmer digestion.

Targeted Supplements & Nutrient Repletion

Correcting deficiencies that often follow poor absorption, such as B12, iron, vitamin D and magnesium, based on your lab results.

What to expect

Results patients often report

Individual results vary. Your physician will set realistic goals with you at your first visit.

Why Patients Medical

Sarah's hormone reset

Sarah, 48, came to us with PMS, weight gain, insomnia and brain fog. Testing showed estrogen dominance, low progesterone, suboptimal thyroid function and gut imbalance. Over four months her plan combined low-dose BHRT, thyroid optimization, gut support, anti-inflammatory nutrition and stress-focused mind-body practices. Sarah reported regular cycles, better sleep, improved mood and a 15-pound weight loss, with follow-up labs confirming her progress.

“After struggling with mood swings and fatigue for years, getting my hormones balanced changed everything.”

S.N., 32 Brooklyn

“The testing and treatment were so thorough. My sleep, energy, and focus have all improved dramatically.”

M.K., 50 Manhattan

“Balancing my hormones helped with weight, skin, and anxiety. I feel more in control of my body and mind.”

T.L., 41. Queens
