What Lives in Your Digestive System

Your gastrointestinal tract is home to a wide variety of organisms, including:

• Yeast, fungus, and candida
• Bacteria (both beneficial and harmful)
• Parasites
• Pathogens
• Protective microbes

This complex ecosystem plays a foundational role in your overall health. When left unbalanced for extended periods, the gut lining can begin to deteriorate, leading to a condition known as leaky gut syndrome. This allows bacteria and biofilms to breach the intestinal barrier and affect other areas of the body, including the arteries and brain.

Symptoms of Gut Imbalance

Disruption in the gut microbiome can lead to a wide range of symptoms, such as:

• Brain fog and forgetfulness
• Allergies and chemical sensitivities
• Fatigue and low energy
• Irritable or inflammatory bowel conditions
• Skin issues and rashes
• Increased risk of autoimmune disorders

These symptoms often stem from an overgrowth of harmful organisms and a weakened intestinal barrier.

Restoring Digestive Health

At Integrative Wellness and Research Center, we offer comprehensive lab testing to identify imbalances in the microbiome. Dr. John evaluates key areas including digestion, gut immunity, inflammation, and signs of leaky gut. Our goal is to:

• Eliminate overgrowth of bacteria, yeast, candida, and parasites
• Improve digestion and reduce inflammation
• Promote healthy microbial growth in the intestinal lining
• Seal the gut barrier and enhance immune function
• Support full gut restoration to reduce disease risk

Call us at 901-763-7006 to schedule your comprehensive GI lab test and begin uncovering the root causes of your symptoms.

Advanced Testing for Digestive Disorders

We utilize GI Effects Stool Profiles, a suite of advanced tests that provide actionable insights into digestive health. These tests assess:

• Digestive function
• Inflammation in the intestines
• Microbiome composition and diversity

The results help prioritize treatment and guide personalized care plans. Research shows that an imbalanced gut microbiome is linked to a wide range of conditions, both within and beyond the digestive system.

Conditions Linked to Gut Imbalance

Gut health affects more than digestion. A disrupted microbiome may contribute to:

• Gas, bloating, and reflux
• Abdominal pain, cramps, diarrhea, or constipation
• Inflammatory and irritable bowel diseases
• Skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis
• Allergies and autoimmune disorders
• Mood changes and depression
• Joint discomfort
• Blood sugar issues and diabetes
• Weight management challenges

The relationship between gut microbes and the human body is deeply interconnected. A healthy microbiome supports overall wellness, while imbalance can lead to chronic health concerns.
