DIGESTIVE DISORDERS

The state of our gut health is essential to our health. This is the main site for digestion and assimilation of crucial nutrients to remain energized and healthy. However, often it can be an area that requires some attention. Imbalances in digestive function can result in a variety of symptoms including: 

• Fatigue

• Bloating

• Excessive gas

• Abdominal pain

• Indigestion

• Diarrhea

• Constipation

• Depression and anxiety

• Nutrient deficiencies

• Skin disorders

• Immune dysfunction

Alex works with clients in an integrative approach to identify underlying causes of any imbalances with digestion and then form a strategy on how to best resolve them in the simplest way. Often tests are required with chronic and persistent digestion disorders to determine if there are any infections and/or food intolerances present.

Whilst in Hong Kong, I was very fortunate to work with extremely knowledgeable and experienced Naturopaths who shared with me a wealth of knowledge when working with gut health. From here I have been able to develop a strong understanding of this system and effective protocols for treatment.

Specific areas relating to gut disorders that Alex works with include:

• Dysbiosis

• Bacterial, fungal and Parasitic infections

• Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome

• Gastritis and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

• Celiac Disease

• Inflammatory Bowel Disease

• Diverticulitis

• Hemorrhoids

• Gallstones
