Most people have no idea what a functional medicine gut workup actually looks like. So here is exactly what happens when you work with me.

Step 1️⃣: Discovery Call.
We talk. I want to understand your history, what you have tried, and where you are right now. I want to be honest about whether what I do is actually the right fit for your situation.

Step 2️⃣: Comprehensive Intake.
Before testing, I build a full picture. Birth history (c-section versus vaginal affects initial microbiome seeding), antibiotic history across your lifetime (this matters more than most people know), stress timeline, medications, and a detailed symptom chronology. The gut does not live in a vacuum.

Step 3️⃣: Testing.
This is not a standard panel. Depending on your presentation, we may run a GI-MAP or comprehensive stool analysis, a SIBO breath test, organic acids, cortisol rhythm testing, and targeted bloodwork including hs-CRP, ferritin, homocysteine, and micronutrient status. The testing tells us what we are actually working with.

Step 4️⃣: Results Review.
We go through everything together. Not just "your marker is elevated." What elevated means in the context of your specific symptom picture, your history, and your goals.

Step 5️⃣: Personalized Protocol.
Built from your data. Not from a generic gut healing template. Targeted interventions matched to what your results actually showed.

Step 6️⃣: Monitoring and Adjustment.
Your body responds, and your protocol adjusts with it. This is not a hand-off. It is a process.

🆘Here is what most elimination diets miss.

They reduce your exposure to triggers. They do not address why you have become reactive to so many things in the first place.

Three drivers of food reactivity that have nothing to do with the food itself:

1️⃣Low stomach acid.
When the stomach does not produce enough acid, food is not properly broken down. Larger partially-digested protein molecules make it into the small intestine and trigger immune responses. You blame the food. The issue is the stomach was not doing its job upstream.

2️⃣Intestinal permeability.
When the gut lining is compromised, food proteins you have tolerated your whole life start crossing into circulation and registering as foreign. Your immune system mounts a response. You develop new sensitivities. This is why your list of reactive foods keeps growing every year.

3️⃣Histamine intolerance from dysbiosis. Certain bacteria overproduce histamine. The enzyme that should degrade it, called DAO, gets depleted when those bacteria are overgrown. Fermented foods, wine, leftovers, aged cheese, all of these flood a system that cannot clear histamine properly. Not an allergy. A bacterial balance problem.

Elimination helped you feel better by reducing the load. That is real and it was the right call.
But the load came back because the underlying issue was still there.

✅The goal is to find what is driving the reactivity…
❌Not to keep adding foods to the can't-eat list indefinitely.

Cancer changes everything… not just your health, but your identity, relationships, priorities, and sense of control.

It’s more than a diagnosis. It’s a turning point.

✨ Navigate the emotional and physical toll
✨ Rebuild strength and confidence
✨ Feel more in control of your body and your care
✨ Access therapies that honor your whole self, not just the disease

Wherever you are in the journey, you don’t have to walk it alone. We’re here to support your healing in every way that matters.

1️⃣A comprehensive stool analysis.
Not a culture to look for pathogens. A full GI-MAP or equivalent showing bacterial diversity, opportunistic organisms, inflammation markers like calprotectin and sIgA, and the health of the gut lining itself.

2️⃣ Zonulin.
A direct marker of intestinal permeability. It tells me whether the gut barrier is intact or compromised. You cannot build a personalized gut protocol without knowing this number.

3️⃣Organic acids.
Metabolic byproducts from gut bacteria that give me a window into dysbiosis patterns, mitochondrial function, B-vitamin status, and neurotransmitter metabolism. This single test answers questions that nothing else in a standard panel touches.

4️⃣Cortisol rhythm. Chronic stress physically changes the gut. Motility slows. Stomach acid output drops. Microbiome composition shifts. I cannot address a gut without understanding what the nervous system is doing.

5️⃣Five. SIBO breath testing where indicated. Because up to 60% of IBS diagnoses have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth as an underlying driver. And rifaximin is a very different protocol than a dysbiosis correction.

Two patients with identical symptoms often need completely different approaches.

That is not a theory. That is what the testing shows, every single time.

When someone tells me they have tried everything, the first thing I ask is: what testing told you what everything was supposed to be treating? Usually the answer is none.🙄

🚨Acne
🚨Anxiety
🚨Achy joints
🚨Afternoon crashes

….all might all share the same root.

That sounds like a stretch until you understand what happens when the gut microbiome shifts.

The visible symptoms people expect from gut dysbiosis: bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea.

➠Most people know these.

The invisible ones almost no one connects:
🕸️Morning anxiety that fades by noon.
The gut bacteria that are imbalanced overnight produce metabolites that spike cortisol and dysregulate the HPA axis. By late morning, it settles. It feels like anxiety. It has a gut origin.

🕸️Skin that breaks out in hormonal patterns.
The estrobolome, the community of gut bacteria that metabolize estrogen, directly influences androgen levels. Disrupted gut means disrupted hormones, and disrupted hormones show up on the skin.

🕸️Joint stiffness, especially first thing in the morning.
LPS from gram-negative bacteria can cross a compromised gut lining and trigger systemic inflammation that lands in connective tissue. Inflammatory joint symptoms without a diagnosis often have a gut driver underneath.

🕸️Histamine reactions after wine, leftovers, aged cheese, or fermented foods.
Not an allergy. A sign that bacteria responsible for producing histamine are overgrown, and the DAO enzyme that should degrade it is depleted.

🕸️Flat mood and low motivation through the day.
Your gut produces 90 to 95% of the serotonin precursors in your body. When dysbiosis disrupts the bacteria that regulate tryptophan availability, mood chemistry shifts downstream.

🕸️Blood sugar crashes 2 to 3 hours after eating.
Short-chain fatty acids produced by healthy gut bacteria help regulate insulin sensitivity and blood sugar signaling. When those bacteria are depleted, the regulation goes with them.

None of these are mysterious. Every single one has a mechanism.
