Why your Dr./Gastro hasn’t helped:

When it comes to gut health, many doctors are still relying on outdated practices and limited testing methods. As a result, many people with gut issues continue to struggle without the proper solutions. Here’s why:

1. Focus on Symptom Management, Not Root Cause

Conventional doctors often focus on managing symptoms rather than uncovering the root causes of gut problems. For example, if you're experiencing bloating, gas, or digestive discomfort, you may be prescribed antacids or other medications to alleviate the symptoms.

2. Limited Testing Options

Traditional tests typically look for obvious infections or diseases but often miss more subtle imbalances like dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria), leaky gut, or food sensitivities.

3. Outdated Understanding of the Microbiome

The gut microbiome is a relatively new field of study. The latest science shows that an imbalanced microbiome can contribute to a wide range of conditions, from autoimmune diseases to mental health struggles. Unfortunately, many doctors are still using outdated models of gut health that don’t account for the complexity of the microbiome or its role in health.

4. Siloed View of the Body

Conventional medicine often treats the gut in isolation, ignoring the interconnectedness of the body. Gut issues don’t exist in a vacuum; they affect and are affected by many other systems, including your immune system, hormones, and mental health.

For example, a leaky gut can contribute to autoimmune diseases or hormonal imbalances, but traditional doctors may only treat these issues separately. A holistic approach, which looks at the gut and other systems as interconnected, is often missing in conventional care.
