Holiday meals should be enjoyed - but for many, heavy foods and stress can trigger reflux, bloating, or sluggish digestion.

Supporting your gut doesn’t mean avoiding your favorite dishes. It means helping your system handle them better:
✔ Eat slowly and chew thoroughly
✔ Don’t skip meals before the big one
✔ Go for a walk after eating
✔ Manage stress - it affects digestion more than any single food

Travel can throw digestion off balance - disrupted routines, new foods, and stress all affect gut motility and the microbiome.

To keep your gut on track:
✔ Stay hydrated (especially on flights)
✔ Move when you can — gentle stretching helps motility
✔ Keep meal times consistent when possible
✔ Pack probiotics or magnesium if recommended by your provider

Supporting the gut–brain connection during travel helps keep digestion (and mood) steady, wherever you go.

As cold and flu season ramps up, gut health plays a bigger role than you might think.

An imbalanced microbiome or chronic inflammation can weaken immune response and increase susceptibility to illness.

Dr. Buckle helps patients strengthen gut-immune resilience through nutrition, microbiome balance, and evidence-based support.

A healthy gut is your body’s first defense.

Curious about “Leaky Gut”?
Not just a buzzword – it’s a measurable breakdown in the gut barrier that can drive systemic inflammation.

When the intestinal wall becomes permeable, unwanted particles pass into the bloodstream, activating immune and inflammatory cascades that affect far more than digestion – including energy, focus, and immunity.

Dr. Buckle helps patients restore the gut barrier through nutrition, stress regulation, and microbiome repair – rebuilding balance from the inside out.

Not all reflux is acid reflux.
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an immune-driven inflammation of the esophagus that often looks identical to GERD – until the right testing is done.

Without accurate diagnosis, treatment can miss the mark.
Dr. Buckle, ND, FABNO, specializes in identifying and managing EoE through integrative, evidence-based protocols that reduce inflammation and restore comfort long-term.

Accurate testing = effective treatment.

Constipation is rarely simple.
It can stem from thyroid imbalance, medication effects, pelvic floor dysfunction, or microbial shifts – each requiring a different treatment strategy.

Fiber isn’t a cure-all.
Dr. Buckle, ND, FABNO, uses diagnostic insight to identify what’s driving sluggish motility and creates a plan that addresses the cause, not just the symptom.

Recurring bloating, pain, or reflux usually means the underlying cause hasn’t been fully addressed. So when GI symptoms keep returning, we dig deeper.

For many patients, the answer lies deeper than diet: in motility, immune regulation, and the gut microbiome.

Dr. Buckle identifies what’s really driving symptoms through targeted testing and integrative treatment - so relief lasts, not just lingers.

Because managing IBD is about restoring balance, resilience, and quality of life.

Personalized care.

You’ve had normal labs... but you still feel terrible.
That’s often because the right tests haven’t been run.

Many conventional panels miss key digestive markers like bacterial overgrowth, food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, or inflammatory activity in the GI tract. These aren’t always visible in standard bloodwork - but they’re often at the root of ongoing fatigue, bloating, or pain.

Dr. Buckle specializes in diagnostic clarity, combining advanced GI testing with clinical insight to connect what symptoms are saying with what labs may have missed.
