GUT HEALTH

At Integrative Medical NY, we understand that gut health is pivotal to your overall well-being. Often referred to as your body’s second brain, the gut plays a crucial role in digestion and mental and physical health. Our approach to improving gut health in NYC is rooted in functional medicine, which looks beyond symptoms to address underlying causes of gastrointestinal problems.

● Bloating
● Abdominal pain and cramping
● Diarrhea or constipation
● Flatulence
● Nausea
● Heartburn
● Malabsorption
● Burning tongue
● Dry mouth
● Fatigue
● Joint pain
● Skin problems.

These are some of the most common symptoms of an unhealthy gut. The causes are numerous and can range from overuse of antibiotics to motility disorders. 

In fact there are many causes some of which are overlooked. Even stress, diabetes and anxiety can cause these symptoms. 
Just because your colonoscopy was normal does not mean everything else is normal. Proper testing such as an evaluation of your gut microbiome is often necessary. 
We here at IMNY are experts in the proper testing.

NUTRITION & GUT HEALTH

Nutrition is a cornerstone of gut health. At Integrative Medical NY, we emphasize the importance of gut-healing nutrients. Our recommendations include a balanced intake of essential vitamins and fats, such as Zinc, Vitamin A, B5, E, GLA, and Omega-3 fatty acids, as indicated by the results of blood tests. These nutrients are crucial in maintaining a healthy gut lining and aiding digestion, directly impacting your ability to improve gut health.
