As an integrative doctor that specializes in functional medicine and treating the body as a whole system and looking to get to the root cause of disease, the digestive system is our bread and butter.

If the digestive system is not healthy and functioning properly, there is NO WAY that you will be healthy and functioning properly. It’s just not possible. No way, no how! PERIOD!

As you may have noticed I like sayings. One that some old-timer alternative medicine practitioners often used to say is, “healing occurs from above down inside out.”

In essence, this means that healing starts in the head or brain. You have to have a positive mental outlook and “be right” in the head. From there, the body will heal from the inside out, starting with the intestines. To read a little more about digestion check out my other page on digestion here.
