Our Microbiome Program
Advanced Microbiome Analysis
Our practice offers expert guidance on cutting-edge whole-genome microbiome sequencing to identify the root causes of digestive issues, inflammation, and overall wellness concerns. By analyzing your gut flora, we provide data-driven insights and personalized treatment strategies to restore balance and optimize gut health.
Bridging traditional medicine with the latest advancements in microbiome research, our team provides comprehensive evaluations, evidence-based dietary recommendations, and targeted interventions, including prebiotics, probiotics, and microbiome-friendly therapies tailored to your unique needs.
A structured six-month program designed to assess, track, and improve microbiome health with expert guidance.
We start by taking a comprehensive look at your medical history to understand your gastrointestinal health in the context of your overall well-being. Next, we perform full-genome sequencing of your gut microbiome, creating a precise, in-depth profile of your microbial makeup. From this, we identify specific imbalances and develop a custom formulation of prebiotics and probiotics, compounded to meet the exact needs of your gut. The six-month program may also include personalized dietary guidance or medication adjustments as needed. At the end of the program, we repeat the sequencing to track your progress. For continued care, a three-month extension is available, with updated sequencing and treatment adjustments every three months.
6-month plan includes:
-
Our clinicians will consider your full medical history and any other health concerns alongside your microbiome data for a more integrated approach.
-
Beginning with a simple sample collection, we send it to a specialized lab for whole-genome sequencing to map your unique microbiome. Once we receive results, we review them with you in detail, identifying key imbalances and insights into your gut health.
-
Advanced testing with detailed analysis done at two separate intervals.
-
Up to 6 months of tailored prebiotic formulations designed to support your unique gut microbiome and restore imbalances.
-
Up to 4 months of tailored probiotic blends (2 formulations).
-
A tailored approach based on your results, your medical history, and your unique microbiome.
-
Continuous expert guidance throughout your treatment plan.
-
The 3-month add-on extends the benefits of our 6-month microbiome program, offering continued support as your gut ecosystem stabilizes and strengthens.
Elemental Diet
The elemental diet is a medical protocol prescribed for certain gastrointestinal conditions including small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), among others. The diet consists of a liquid formula of complete nutrition broken down into its most elemental form and should only be administered under medical supervision.
This carefully formulated diet provides essential nutrients in an easily absorbable form, allowing the gut to rest and heal while maintaining adequate nourishment. By reducing the burden on the digestive system, the Elemental Diet can help alleviate inflammation, rebalance gut bacteria, and support overall microbiome health. Our expert-guided approach ensures that each plan is tailored to your specific needs, with ongoing medical supervision to maximize effectiveness and long-term benefits.

Gastric Alimetry
Gastric Alimetry is a cutting-edge, radiation-free diagnostic tool that helps us analyze stomach function in real-time. This painless, non-invasive test provides crucial insights for patients curious about:
Digestive patterns
Chronic bloating
Chronic stomach pain or nausea
Unexplained indigestion or reflux
Gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying)
Functional dyspepsia or post-infectious gut issues
