The gut is not like Las Vegas, what happens in the gut does not stay in the gut. Dr. Alessio Fasano

Gut dysbiosis is more than digestive distress—it’s a systemic disruptor and can show up as:
• Brain fog
• Skin rashes
• Anxiety or depression
• Chronic pain
• Hormonal shifts
• Even organ dysfunction

Nutrition for gut health supports whole body health.

Schedule your appointment today to discover what your gut needs for better mood and health.

Food first always, but sometimes we need a little boost, especially as we age. The science behind creatine is quite surprising. Personally, I've noticed improved energy and faster muscle recovery after workouts since starting creatine.

Brand and dose matter and there are contraindications, as with any supplement. Contact me if you have questions or want access to my Fullscript supplement catalogue.
