When you’re considering doing something risky, you often get a feeling in your stomach telling you whether it’s a good idea or not. We call that gut intuition, something that feels almost like a sixth sense in a way. It’s a very obvious feeling that presents as a thought that won’t go away, a pit in your stomach, and tension in your body. We trust our gut intuition to help us make the right decisions regarding morals and life events.
Unfortunately, we can ignore our gut health when it comes to our body’s overall well-being. People may not realize that they need to improve gut health to improve their immune system, mental health, and cardiovascular system.
At Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics, we rely on functional wellness treatments to help you feel better and function optimally. Here’s why you should trust that gut intuition and visit our team.
What causes an unhealthy gut?
Everything from your diet to your hormones can cause an unhealthy gut. Even antibiotics can temporarily cause gut problems because they eliminate good bacteria that make up your gut microbiome. Your mental and physical health rely on the healthy bacteria that live in your gut to break down food and convert it into nutrients for your body.
To figure out the underlying cause of your gut problems, we perform advanced testing. This could involve checking your hormones, nutrient levels, and complete blood count. Based on your results, we may recommend the following treatments to help improve your gut health at our wellness center.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Declining or imbalanced hormones, especially estrogen and progesterone, can take a toll on your gut health. Women especially experience irritable bowel syndrome or other gastrointestinal issues.
We offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to restore and replenish your estrogen and progesterone levels. Using plant-derived sources, these hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced in your body, so they are more readily absorbed and result in fewer side effects than pharmaceutical hormones.
IV Therapy
Your diet should consist of a range of vitamins and minerals for your gut to break down and convert into energy. When you’re deficient in these micronutrients, it can lead to inflammation and malabsorption. With IV therapy and vitamin injections, we can quickly deliver those essential nutrients to your bloodstream for your body to use as efficiently and effectively as possible.
