A Holistic Approach to Addressing Gut Health
Gut health is foundational to overall wellness, impacting digestion, immunity, mood, brain function, and hormone balance. The gut microbiome—home to trillions of microbes—communicates directly with the brain and plays a vital role in regulating inflammation, energy, and emotional well-being. When imbalances occur, symptoms like bloating, fatigue, skin issues, and food sensitivities can arise. At Dr. Lana Wellness, we support naturopathic gut repair through functional stool testing, herbal antimicrobials, acupuncture, targeted supplementation, and personalized nutrition to restore microbial balance and optimize whole-body health
Gut Health Conditions Dr. Lana & the DLW Team Specialize In
Candida is a naturally occurring yeast in the body, but when it grows out of balance, it can trigger a range of symptoms—like digestive issues, skin problems, acne, brain fog, recurrent yeast infections, and oral thrush. Overgrowth is often driven by factors like antibiotics, hormonal birth control, high-sugar diets, stress, and gut dysbiosis.
At Dr. Lana Wellness, we address candida holistically with targeted antimicrobials, personalized nutrition plans, and stress-reducing strategies to restore a healthy microbial balance.
Leaky Gut
Leaky gut, or intestinal permeability, happens when the gut lining becomes damaged, allowing undigested food, toxins, and microbes to enter the bloodstream and trigger inflammation. Common causes include stress, poor diet, medications, and underlying health conditions.
At Dr. Lana Wellness, we use stool testing and food sensitivity panels to assess gut integrity, then support gut restoration with targeted nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle strategies to restore the gut barrier.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects millions and often causes symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, gas, and reflux.
At Dr. Lana Wellness, we take a comprehensive approach to addressing IBS naturally—using stool and breath testing, food sensitivity panels, and lab work—to create personalized nutrition and supplement plans that target the root causes and bring lasting relief.
IBD (Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s)
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis, involves chronic inflammation of the digestive tract and can lead to painful flare-ups and tissue damage.
At Dr. Lana Wellness, we focus on calming inflammation and strengthening gut health through personalized, holistic care to provide holistic relief from IBS.
Dysbiosis
Gut dysbiosis occurs when there's an imbalance in the gut microbiome—often due to poor diet, antibiotics, stress, or lack of microbial diversity.
At Dr. Lana Wellness, we address gut dysbiosis naturopathically by working to restore a healthy gut environment through targeted nutrition, lifestyle support, and supplementation.
H. Pylori
H. Pylori (Helicobacter pylori) is a bacterial infection that colonizes the stomach lining and disrupts gastric acid production, gut mucosal integrity, and the balance of digestive microbes.
Beyond digestive symptoms like bloating, nausea, and reflux, upper abdominal discomfort, burning, and burping, H. Pylori is linked to nutrient deficiencies (especially B12, Iron, and zinc), anemia, and systemic inflammation.
SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) occurs when excess bacteria build up in the small intestine, leading to bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and digestive issues.
At Dr. Lana Wellness, we help SIBO naturopathically through targeted supplements, nutrition therapy, and acupuncture to ease symptoms and support long-term gut health.
Food sensitivities occur when the immune system reacts to certain foods, often causing delayed or vague symptoms like fatigue, headaches, bloating, or skin issues.
At Dr. Lana Wellness, our nutritionist uses antibody testing to identify sensitivities and creates a personalized plan to reduce triggers while keeping your diet enjoyable and balanced.
Celiac
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where the body can’t tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It often leads to poor nutrient absorption and deficiencies.
At Dr. Lana Wellness, we help you navigate a gluten-free lifestyle while supporting gut health and improving nutrient absorption.
