Our board-certified and functional medicine trained doctors specialize in diagnosing, trying to prevent, and treating leaky gut and intestinal permeability related conditions using a root cause & holistic approach.
From $299/month. Try it for 30 days for $249.
Leaky gut, or increased intestinal permeability, occurs when the lining of the small intestine becomes damaged, allowing undigested food particles, toxic waste products, and bacteria to "leak" through the intestines and flood the bloodstream. It is associated with various chronic diseases. Symptoms can include bloating, gas, cramps, food sensitivities, and aches or pains.
Food allergies or intolerances refer to adverse reactions that occur when the body negatively responds to certain foods. Allergies involve the immune system and can be severe, whereas intolerances generally relate to the digestive system.
Symptoms include:
- Digestive Issues: Bloating, gas, diarrhea, or abdominal pain after consuming the offending food.
- Skin Reactions: Rashes, hives, or eczema.
- Respiratory Symptoms: Wheezing, shortness of breath, or nasal congestion, which are more common in allergies.
Brain fog is a term used to describe feelings of mental confusion, forgetfulness, and lack of focus and mental clarity. It is not a medical condition itself but a symptom of other conditions.
Symptoms include:
- Impaired Concentration: Difficulty focusing or paying attention.
- Memory Problems: Forgetfulness or trouble remembering information.
- Mental Fatigue: Feeling tired or exhausted despite adequate rest, making it challenging to think clearly or make decisions.
Mood imbalances such as anxiety and depression involve persistent changes in emotional state, affecting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These conditions can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life.
Symptoms include:
- Emotional Distress: Persistent feelings of sadness, worry, or fear.
- Physical Symptoms: Changes in sleep patterns, appetite, or energy levels.
- Cognitive Changes: Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering details.
Skin problems like acne and eczema are common conditions that affect the skin's appearance, texture, and overall health.
Symptoms include:
- Inflammation and Redness: Areas of the skin may become red, swollen, and inflamed.
- Itching: Persistent itching, often leading to a desire to scratch affected areas.
- Skin Lesions: Appearance of pimples, pustules, or patches of dry, scaly skin.
