Functional Gastrointestinal Repair & Restoration

The gastrointestinal (GI) system is the only system in the body that has a direct effect on the function of every other physiological system in the body.     This is what makes gut health so important and why it is the core starting point in functional medicine when trying to get to the root cause of disease and optimize patient health.   A damaged and imbalanced GI system is commonly the source of inflammation and immune system dysregulation that leads to disease, yet goes undiagnosed in traditional health care.  Age Management's Integrative Medical approach recognizes the importance of gut health and offers functional diagnostic testing and GI programs.   The 17 week GI Repair and Restore Program at Age Management of West Michigan is the most comprehensive program available that treats the entire GI system to repair and restore gut health and function.   

“70% to 80% of our immune system is in our gut… the starting point for functional healing.”
