The topic of gut and intestinal health is particularly important to Dr. Heinitz. Now is the time to get past the taboo of talking about our gut feelings

Gut and intestinal health play a crucial role in our overall well-being. The digestive system breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and eliminates waste. When the gut and intestines are not functioning optimally, it can lead to various health issues including poor brain function and mood changes, acne and other skin issues, irritable bowel syndrome, and poor immune system function. Naturopathic medicine offers a holistic approach to promoting gut and intestinal health by addressing the underlying causes.
