70% Immune in Gut
5R Framework
3 Doctors

Your gut is talking. We listen.

IBS, SIBO, bloating, acid reflux, food sensitivities — we find the root cause, not just manage symptoms.

Recognize the Signs

Do any of these sound familiar?

70%

of your immune system lives in the gut. When it's off, everything is off.

Bloating after meals

Abdomen distends within 30 minutes of eating — even with "safe" foods.

Gas & cramping

Persistent gas, sharp cramps, or gurgling — often bacterial fermentation in the wrong place.

Constipation or diarrhea

Alternating between extremes is IBS — but the label doesn't tell you why.

Acid reflux / heartburn

That burning often isn't too much acid — low stomach acid is frequently the culprit.

Food sensitivities worsening

More foods triggering symptoms points to intestinal permeability — not a lifetime of avoidance.

Brain fog after eating

Mental cloudiness and fatigue after meals. Your gut-brain axis is sending distress signals.

Skin issues

Acne, eczema, rosacea — your skin is a mirror of your gut.

Fatigue despite sleeping

Poor nutrient absorption and chronic inflammation steal your energy before you wake up.

Our Approach

The 5R framework for complete gut restoration.

Most GI doctors focus on diagnosis and suppression. You get a scope, a label, and a prescription. But no one asks why your gut broke down. Our 5R protocol addresses every layer systematically.

1

Remove

Eliminate triggers: infections, pathogenic bacteria, parasites, food sensitivities, and environmental toxins.

2

Replace

Restore digestive factors your body is missing: enzymes, hydrochloric acid, and bile acids.

3

Reinoculate

Rebuild with targeted, strain-specific probiotics and prebiotic fibers from your stool analysis.

4

Repair

Heal the gut lining: L-glutamine, zinc carnosine, aloe vera, DGL, and collagen peptides.

5

Rebalance

Sustain with sleep hygiene, stress management, movement, and mindful eating practices.

95% of serotonin is produced in the gut
60% of IBS patients have SIBO

Advanced Diagnostics

Tests most doctors never order.

Comprehensive Stool Analysis

Full microbiome mapping, parasite detection, inflammation markers (calprotectin, lactoferrin), and digestive function assessment.

Microbiome Parasites Inflammation

SIBO Breath Test

Hydrogen and methane testing to diagnose the hidden driver behind up to 60% of IBS cases.

Non-Invasive At-Home Kit

Food Sensitivity Panel

IgG and mediator release testing (MRT) to identify hidden food triggers behind bloating, migraines, and fatigue.

IgG MRT

Organic Acids

Candida, nutrient deficiencies, neurotransmitter imbalances — one urine test.

Metabolic

Intestinal Permeability

Zonulin and occludin testing to objectively assess "leaky gut" — the gateway to systemic inflammation.

Zonulin Leaky Gut

Full Thyroid Panel

TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. Thyroid dysfunction directly impacts gut motility and digestion speed.

Collaborative Care

Three doctors. One unified plan.

Every gut case is reviewed by all three doctors. Different perspectives, shared expertise, unified plan. That's not something you'll find at a conventional GI practice.
