It Doesn't Have To Be This Way


Anyone who has suffered from a chronic digestive problem will tell you it can become a serious quality of life issue. When you’re feeling gassy, bloated or have to run to the bathroom at a moment’s notice, everything becomes more difficult: socializing, working, dating, traveling, and showing up for the things you enjoy. Slowly, you become tired and depressed, especially when you’re seeing doctors and getting no answers, and no support. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Gut Health

The Dr. Maura Practice has been treating gut problems at their root cause for years with profound success. Naturopathic philosophy and training focuses on gut health as the cornerstone of overall body wellness. Combining traditional healing modalities such as botanical medicine, probiotic therapy, nutrient repletion, and homeopathy with advances in the science and research on gut health, naturopaths offer their patients the best of both worlds. With rigorous training in nutrition, the diet is never overlooked by our doctors, and how could it be? Our guts are designed to digest and assimilate.

Our goal when working with gut patients is always to determine the why: why are you experiencing gas and bloating, why did the Crohn’s start, why have you had constipation for years? Once we can answer the why, the course back to health becomes clear. Our goal is always to restore your gut to function so that you can go about your daily life without thinking about your digestion and relying on medications or supplements — and isn’t that the whole point? It’s possible. When your naturopath works with you as a gut patient, you have a partner on your path back to digestive wellness.
