Gut Health

How the Gastrointestinal Tract Affects the Entire Body

The GI tract is the gateway to the rest of the body; if our GI health is compromised, our overall health is compromised. That is why it is often the best place to start when evaluating treatment strategies to help our patients to feel better.

GI Disorders affect more people in the US than heart disease, AIDS and cancer combined. Over 74% of Americans have lived with some type of GI-related symptoms for more than six months. Next to the common cold, GI discomfort is the most common reason people seek medical advice or use over-the-counter remedies. 

Digestive disorders are the most common problems for which people visit their doctor or Nurse Practitioner. The conventional approach or treatment towards digestive issues often only temporarily suppresses the symptoms and does not treat the root cause(s).

No one is immune from the occasional stomach ache. However, prolonged or irregular issues with your gut and stomach could be the signs of serious digestive problems that require medical attention. Symptoms of these, and many other issues can also include constipation, diarrhea, bloating, belching, gas, abdominal pain, acid reflux, heartburn, GERD, and food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances.

Furthermore, serious stomach issues can reach beyond the digestive tract and lead to issues all over your body if it is not properly regulated.

Heal Your Gut, Heal Your Body

Most people are not aware that uncomfortable GI symptoms can be just the tip of the iceberg. When these symptoms become chronic, they can lead to a myriad of health issues including allergies, inflammation, chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases and neurological disorders, etc. So, when it comes to wellness, Digestive Health is of great importance.

At SYNOLO WELLNESS, our team is expertly trained to use various functional medicine tests to identify the causes of your digestive health problems and establish an effective treatment plan. These issues can be caused by inflammatory foods, structural abnormalities, increased stress, microbiome dysfunction, hormone imbalances, toxins, prescription medications, and a variety of other factors that need to be considered.
