Gut Health & Digestion
FIND TRUE HEALING
Health Begins In The Gut
Did you know your gut health affects your brain health and vice versa? The microbiome in your gut is made of trillions of bacteria. These tiny organisms play a vital role in digestion, weight issues, immune system function, and mental health. This means you may experience digestion issues when you’re emotionally stressed. Likewise, your mental health can be impacted by issues in your gut.
Many conventional tests misdiagnose gut issues because they ignore the gut-brain connection. At Faithfully Guided, we pay careful attention to this connection and use a collaborative method that combines physical and mental health.
WHAT WE TREAT
Because of the gut-brain connection, we often start with the gut when clients are experiencing multiple symptoms—from stomach problems to mental stress or autoimmune concerns.

OUR APPROACH
Functional Medicine Tests
For most gut health concerns, we start by investigating with lab tests. We use advanced breath tests and comprehensive stool analysis to diagnose and treat IBS, SIBO, and other digestive conditions that conventional doctors often miss.
Nutrition Plan
Food has a huge impact on your microbiome’s health. We want to feed the “good” bacteria more than the “bad” bacteria by consuming adequate fiber, embracing a balanced diet, and avoiding processed foods. Our functional medicine team will help you create a supportive nutrition plan to heal your gut and digestion issues.
Examine Exercise Routines
Research has shown that exercise can support gut health by promoting healthy bacteria diversity and reducing stress. We take an individualized approach to exercise that is tailored to your current health status and lifestyle preferences. Our goal is to keep your body in motion for a lifetime!
Christian Counseling
Chronic stress and unresolved trauma can impact gut health, so we often recommend counseling appointments to improve your outcomes. Your counselor will help you process parts of your story that are still impacting your choices today and integrate stress-reducing practices into your everyday life.
