Your digestive system has a brain all its own, called the enteric nervous system (ENS), or more affectionately, the Second Brain. This is a massive network of nerve cells that are responsible for monitoring and managing every aspect of digestion on a second-to-second basis. In short the stomach is the core of good health. All disease starts in the stomach. If you're experiencing digestive issues or are reacting to foods good chance it has to do with the stomach. Even acne and stress could come from poor digestive health.
The immune system is a set of cells, organs and chemicals that fight against disease and keep us healthy. It's common for people to have an over active / under active immune system. Over active immune systems react to the bodies natural components or overreacts to allergens. Under active immune system makes you more vulnerable to infections and diseases. Both cases can be treated naturally by identifying the root of the problem.
Hormones dictate the majority of our lives, the way we feel and how we look is largely governed by hormones. Hormone levels are significantly impacted by our nutritional habits and lifestyle factors. If you think your hormone levels are negatively impacting your day to day life. I will do extensive tests on your hormonal balance and put together a treatment plan that works specifically for you.

Yes, Everyone is welcome.
Treatments vary case by case. There's no cookie cutter approach here. It really depends on your ailment and what I am treating you for. Could be as little as a week - some treatments are ongoing. Best to message me directly and have a chat.
Again this varies case by case.
For severe cases and stomach issues I always recommend testing so that the results give us a clear outline of what the root issue is and roughly how long it will take to fix.
When we don't run appropriate tests we are just throwing things at the wall and hoping that they stick - Knowledge = Results.
Yes SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgowth) is very treatable.
More and more cases of SIBO are becoming common because of the procsessed foods we ingest and the rapid intake of antibiotics. Furthermore, the stress of day to day life loaded with the stress of technology and social media may result in some kind of imbalance in your stomach flora.
In your initial consultaiton we go over your lifestyle, dietary habits, sleep - basically break down your day lifestyle factors and nutritional intake.
We speak about your symptoms and outline your health goals.
The first consultaiton usually lasts for roughly around 60 minutes to go through everything.
After the first consult you will know whether we need to do further testing to make a diagnoses.
GI Map Testing
This test is conducted to diagnose problems with the gut.
The test is designed to assesses your microbiome, as well as immune and digestive markers, from a single stool sample.
This test identifies pathogenic and beneficial
(commensal) bacteria, along with opportunistic pathogens, parasites, fungi, and viruses, using new
technology mainly multiplex, automated, DNA analysis.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
Other lab tests can provide very valuable information such as what foods we are allergic to, the stateof our gut, if we have infections, or if our hormone levels are up to par.
With HTMA, we have something extremely powerful.
From one strang of hair, the test will tell us whether youy're pre-diabetic, depressed, immuno comprimised or if you have too much aluminion that is impacting brain health and cognitive function.
HTMA uses a small hair sample to get up to 3 months of information on the status of your mineral ratios and heavy metal toxicity which gives us insight into what is throwing the body off-balance.
The hair is the ideal testing mechanism because it shows a cumulative pattern of health information
that is safe and non-invasive in nature.
It reveals health data far more accurate than urine or blood sample.
Varies greatly depending on your ailments and lifestyle factors.
The first step is to establish diagnosis.
Once we do that I use a combination of lifestyle factors (Nutrition / Sleep / Exercise) and Herbal Supplements.
