Assessment first. Here is what it includes.
Gut care starts with finding the cause. Here is each step and how it is priced.
15 minutes with a KOI clinician to talk through your goals and whether gut care could fit.
A full visit with your provider, plus the labs chosen for you. Lab costs depend on the panels.
Testing-guided nutrition, supplements and microbiome care. Your provider walks through the cost with you before you start.
What the assessment includes
- A full visit with a KOI clinician, focused on your history, symptoms and goals.
- Labs chosen for you, with your results explained in plain English.
- A plan built with you, with your options laid out.
Your gut is your second brain.
Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms, a living ecosystem called the microbiome, that does far more than digest food. Through the gut-brain axis, it shapes mood, focus and emotional wellbeing. It regulates immune function, helps keep toxins out of your bloodstream, and influences everything from hormone levels to skin health, hormones and mental clarity.
When that ecosystem is thrown off balance, often by poor diet, stress, antibiotics or lifestyle factors, the effects can ripple through nearly every system in the body. That's why so many seemingly unrelated issues can be traced back to, and resolved through, the gut, and why no two guts, or treatment plans, are alike.
Common signs your gut may be out of balance
- Brain fog, fatigue or anxiety
- Bloating, constipation or IBS
- Acne, redness or skin inflammation
- Food intolerances or chronic cravings
- Poor immunity or frequent allergies
- Stubborn weight gain or weight loss
Root-cause care, from day one.
We treat the why behind your symptoms, not just the what, blending naturopathic and integrative medicine with functional lab testing to guide every decision. Here's exactly what working with us looks like.
A real conversation first
We start with a full consultation, your health history, symptoms, lifestyle and goals, before any testing begins.
Testing that gets specific
Blood, stool, breath and food-sensitivity testing map exactly what's happening in your gut, so nothing is left to guesswork.
A plan built from your results
We translate your results into a personalized, actionable plan: herbal remedies, probiotics, nutrition and lifestyle changes, chosen for what your testing shows.
Ongoing follow-up
We track your progress, fine-tune your plan and re-test to confirm what's working, never a set-and-forget protocol.
Four ways we find your root cause
“Testing” shouldn't be a mystery. Here's exactly what each one involves and what it looks for, so you know what you're walking into before you book.
Food Sensitivity Testing
A blood draw, no fasting or prep needed, checked against dozens of common foods for both major types: IgG (delayed sensitivities) and IgE (immediate allergies). It tells us precisely which foods are working against you, so we're never guessing at your diet.
Blood Testing
A standard blood panel that goes beyond routine labs, inflammatory markers, nutrient deficiencies like B12, vitamin D and iron, and metabolic and hormonal function, all of which can show up as gut symptoms.
Stool Testing
An at-home collection kit you mail to a specialized lab (GI Effects, powered by Genova Diagnostics). It maps your microbiome, digestion, inflammation levels and any gut infections in real detail, far beyond what a standard doctor's visit checks.
Breath Testing
A simple breath sample taken after a prep drink, the standard way to check for SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). No blood draw, no discomfort, just breathing into a collection tube at set intervals.
This is the full range of testing available to you, not a checklist everyone needs. Your provider recommends only what's necessary to find your root cause, and exactly what that involves, and what it costs, is mapped out clearly at your free consultation, before anything is ordered. Already have recent labs from elsewhere? Bring them: we're glad to review outside results rather than repeat a test you've already had.
If your gut is struggling, we can map it
We identify the specific imbalance behind your symptoms, then target it precisely.
IBS & IBD
Calm inflammation and identify triggers behind chronic digestive distress.
SIBO & Dysbiosis
Test for and correct bacterial overgrowth and microbial imbalance.
Leaky Gut
Repair intestinal lining to restore proper barrier function.
Food Sensitivities
Pinpoint reactive foods and build a plan your body tolerates.
Food Intolerances
Identify the foods quietly working against you, so your gut can finally calm and heal.
The Total Gut Restore
Our signature path to a calmer, healthier gut. There is no fixed timeline; your plan follows your test results.
- Comprehensive microbiome testing
- A one-on-one consultation with a trained clinician
- Your own personalized treatment plan
Gut health packages
We're finalizing our gut health packages. In the meantime, every plan starts with a free consultation and is based on your testing and your goals.
What a visit looks like
Three steps, whichever service you start with.
1. Arrive and talk
A clinician goes over your history, your symptoms and your goals. Bring recent labs if you have them.
2. Review and decide
We look at your results together, explain what they mean in plain English and lay out your options.
3. Leave with a plan
You leave with your next step and a date to check in, so progress is measured, not guessed.
Licensed clinicians lead your care.
A licensed KOI clinician reviews your results, builds your plan with you and oversees your treatment from start to finish.

Questions, answered.
We use advanced functional lab testing, including microbiome and stool analysis, to identify overgrowth, sensitivities, leaky gut and motility issues, rather than guessing.
A structured, data-led program that removes triggers, rebalances the microbiome, repairs the gut lining and re-tests to confirm progress.
Yes. The gut microbiome influences immune function, mental clarity, emotional wellbeing and skin health, which is why we treat it as a foundation.
Yes. Your treatment is based on your test results, symptoms and lifestyle.
