Nutrition

Gut Health and Nutritional Evaluation “We are what we eat.” Right? Only partly right, it turns out. Actually, and more precisely: We are what we eat and then don’t get rid of.

Did you know that your gut, your gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is one complex mechanism! In addition to the digestion, absorption, metabolism, and excretion of what we take in, our GI tract is also intimately involved in neuroendocrine and immune system regulation as well.

So, if something inside you isn’t working right, if you’re just not feeling right, if you suffer chronic disease, if you are overweight, gut dysfunction may be playing a considerable role.

At Living With Intention, Dr. Elliott can evaluate your body’s:

  • Nutritional status (identifying specific vitamin, mineral, and co factor deficiencies)
  • Amino acid status
  • Organic acid and short chain fatty-acid metabolism
  • Cellular and mitochondrial metabolites
  • Neurotransmitter metabolites
  • Digestion, absorption, pH, metabolism
  • Bacterial balance, yeast and parasite status, and immune function, and
  • Ability to detoxify
Armed with this analysis, Dr. Elliott can than prescribe for you, given your unique biochemical makeup and needs, a plan to restore your gut to optimal health and wellness.

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.” – Mary Anne Radmacher
