Functional Gut Program

Individual, customised to you. 5 consults.

This program is structured around functional medicine principles, focusing on personalised care and addressing underlying causes of gut health issues. Each consult builds upon the previous to create a comprehensive and integrative approach.

What to expect from the program.

Below is an overview of what you can expect over the 5 consults in the Functional Fertitily Program.

This program provides a holistic roadmap to restore gut health while addressing systemic impacts such as mental clarity, immunity, and overall vitality.

Initial Consult

Comprehensive Case Taking

 In this session:

  • Objective: Establish a detailed understanding of the patient’s health history and current concerns.

  • Key Components:

    • Detailed medical history, including gastrointestinal symptoms, lifestyle factors, and environmental exposures.

    • Review of previous lab results, supplements and medications.

    • Identification of triggers such as food intolerances, infections, or toxins using functional medicine tools like elimination diets or lab testing (e.g., stool tests, SIBO breath tests).

    • Patient education on the importance of gut health and its systemic impact.

Consult 2

Focus: Nutrition Assessment and Analysis

  • Objective: Evaluate dietary habits and nutrient deficiencies to optimise gut health.

  • Key Components:

    • Comprehensive dietary analysis using tools like microbiome testing or nutrient blood tests.

    • Identification of dietary triggers (e.g., inflammatory foods) and nutrient gaps.

    • Personalised nutrition recommendations, including prebiotic and probiotic foods, fiber intake, and elimination diets.

    • Education on the role of gut microbes in nutrient metabolism and overall health.

Consult 3

Focus: Gut Results and Protocol

  • Objective: Present diagnostic findings and implement a targeted gut healing plan.

  • Key Components:

    • Review results from microbiome analysis, stool tests, or other functional labs.

Consult 4

Focus: Hepatic-Biliary Tree Support

  • Key Components:

    • Assessment of liver function and bile production through lab markers or clinical signs.

  • Addressing gallbladder function with dietary fats, bile salts, or bitters

Consult 5

Focus: Gut-Brain Axis Education

  • Objective: Explore the bidirectional relationship between gut health and mental well-being.

  • Key Components:

    • Explanation of the gut-brain axis mechanisms (e.g., vagus nerve signaling, microbiome metabolites).

    • Role of gut health in mood regulation, cognitive function, and stress response.

    • Lifestyle interventions such as mindfulness practices, exercise for microbial diversity, and stress reduction techniques.
