We don't run a dedicated SIBO breath test. Instead, we evaluate your symptoms and available laboratory findings for signs of gut-related imbalances. SIBO and other forms of gut dysbiosis can overlap, but they are not interchangeable diagnoses. If a formal SIBO evaluation is needed, your gastroenterologist can order an appropriate breath test, and we're happy to work alongside them.

Gastroenterologists diagnose and treat gastrointestinal diseases and structural problems, using tools such as endoscopy, imaging, and other appropriate tests. Our functional wellness approach focuses on the broader factors that may influence digestive health, including nutrition, gut-related findings, nutrient status, lifestyle, and connections with other health concerns. We complement, rather than replace, appropriate gastroenterology care.

They can be. The gut participates in estrogen metabolism, and hormonal changes can influence digestion and bowel function. When digestive and hormone-related symptoms occur together, we consider both as part of your evaluation. The connection varies from person to person, so we don't assume that one is always the cause of the other.

Not necessarily. The right approach depends on your symptoms, history, and potential triggers. Some people benefit from targeted dietary changes, while others need further evaluation for an underlying gastrointestinal condition. We aim to make nutrition recommendations that are appropriate for your needs rather than encouraging unnecessary restriction.

Digestive conditions may affect energy through factors such as nutrient deficiencies, inadequate intake, inflammation associated with certain diseases, or disrupted sleep. Persistent fatigue has many possible causes, so we consider your overall health rather than attributing it to the gut alone.
