Naturopathic Wellness
Our Natural Approach
Gets Results
You should be enjoying life, but instead you’re probably dealing with nausea, painful cramping, acid reflux, diarrhea, or constipation. Digestive problems can be debilitating and keep you away from your social life. You just never know when you’ll need a bathroom or when the pain will be unbearable. We get it.
If you’re on medications like antacids & anti-inflammatories, then you already know that your symptoms are not going to get better. In fact, the medications are making your symptoms worse and causing problems in other areas of the body. The longer you cover up symptoms, the deeper the dis-ease goes into the body. It’ll also take longer to heal. This causes you to have
- deficiencies of some essential nutrients & low energy
- increase in pain and development of new symptoms
- increased inflammation
- more & more medications
No matter how severe your symptoms are, you can get better naturally. We can help you decrease the inflammation and heal your gut without medications. We find the root cause and guide you on how to eliminate it for lasting relief by teaching you how to improve gut health naturally.

General considerations
How To Improve Gut Health Naturally
Optimizing your gut health is about creating a thriving ecosystem for the trillions of good bacteria that call your gut home. These tiny organisms play a major role in digestion, immunity, and overall health, so keeping them happy is key to feeling your best. Here are a few ways on how to improve gut health naturally:
- Eat a whole foods diet rich in good sources of fiber including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes.
- Take probiotics: These live bacteria can promote a healthy balance of gut flora. Probiotic-rich foods include yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi.
- Limit processed foods, sugar, unhealthy fats, and alcohol as they are poor in nutrients and can cause digestive issues.
- Practice mindful eating: Pay attention to your body’s hunger and fullness cues, and eat slowly and savor your food.
- Manage stress: Stress can take a toll on your gut health. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as yoga, meditation, or spending time in nature.
- Regular Exercise: Movement can help alleviate stress and promote healthy digestion. Find an exercise routine that you love like dancing or sports.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of clean water to keep your digestive system functioning properly.
A Holistic Approach
Natural Treatment for GERD (acid reflux)
Certain foods can trigger or worsen GERD symptoms. You must identify and avoid your known triggers while you’re learning how to improve your gut health naturally. Common trigger foods include:
- Spicy foods
- Fatty and fried foods
- Citrus fruits and juices
- Tomatoes and tomato-based products
- Carbonated and caffeinated beverages
- Chocolate
- Peppermint
Smoking can weaken the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and increase the risk of acid reflux. If you smoke and have GERD, quitting smoking is essential for improving symptoms and overall gut health.
Certain herbs have been traditionally used to alleviate GERD symptoms. If you are considering using herbal remedies, consult with a healthcare professional to ensure they won’t interfere with any medications you may be taking. Here are a few herbs used as natural treatment for GERD:
- Slippery elm: This herb forms a protective layer in the esophagus, reducing irritation and inflammation.
- Licorice root: Licorice root has been used to soothe the digestive tract but use with caution if you have high blood pressure.
- Chamomile: Chamomile tea can help relax the muscles in the digestive tract and reduce acid reflux.
- Ginger: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger can help reduce inflammation in the esophagus and alleviate GERD symptoms. It can be eaten fresh, enjoyed as a tea, or in capsule form.
- Aloe vera: Aloe vera juice can soothe the lining of the esophagus and reduce inflammation. Drink a small amount of aloe vera juice before meals to help prevent acid reflux.

Natural Remedies For IBS
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is more complex and needs to be thoroughly evaluated. It can typically be managed naturally, but it’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional for guidance tailored to your specific situation before trying any changes to your lifestyle . Here are some natural approaches that help alleviate IBS symptoms:
- Dietary Changes: Identify trigger foods and consider a low-FODMAP diet. FODMAPs are a type of carbohydrate that can be difficult for some people with IBS to digest. Avoiding or limiting FODMAPs, such as those found in wheat, onions, and garlic, may help to reduce bloating and gas. Also, avoiding dairy and gluten may help relieve symptoms.
- Peppermint oil capsules might relieve IBS symptoms like abdominal pain and bloating. However, some people may experience heartburn as a side effect.
- Reduce stress to help reduce the severity and frequency of symptoms. Meditation, psychotherapy, and counseling are a few options shown to be beneficial.
