Gut Health Survey

We so often here all about gut health, but somehow its still understated just how important your gut is for your health and wellbeing! 

Your digestive system is made up of trillions of bacteria, these are responsible for creating compounds to boost neurotransmitters for mood and emotional regulation, immune cells, and metabolism! In short, your gut largely dictates mental health, immune health, and metabolic health/ weight management. Unfortunately, many of us suffer from poor gut health, as often times gut issues are simply diagnosed as IBS 

Here at Enhanced we believe this term should not exist, IBS is a term used to describe a set of symptoms that aren't major enough for surgery or medication, but enough to be problematic for everyday life. We believe we should dive deeper, to find the lifestyle strategies and dietary interventions that promote healthy digestion and target the root cause of the IBS. That's why we've created this survey! 

Above are just SOME of the most common causes of IBS we see, and many suffer from a blend of a few. The reality is that many of these problems can be managed through dietary interventions, such as Low Fodmap diets, elimination diets, addressing deficiencies,  or something applicable to your specific needs! 

This survey is designed to help you dig deeper into the underlying causes of your IBS/ digestive symptoms. As someone who has experienced a PLETHORA of digestive issues, from lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance, colitis, SIBO and more, there is nothing more debilitating and painful than going through these issues without truly understanding what foods or supplements may help, and what may make things infinitely worse. It can be a long, costly, and truly mind-boggling process.  That’s why I’ve created this survey, not to diagnose, but to identify POTENTIAL causes, and experiment with dietary interventions that can help manage your symptoms whilst you navigate through finding a genuine diagnosis or root cause. Don’t settle for “its just IBS”, something causes IBS, there is an answer! So, lets look to find yours!

Your results will be examined by a member of the Enhanced team, and with your results we will make recommendations based on our scope of practice, diet and lifestyle interventions. We will also recommend any further testing we may believe is necessary for you to find a diagnosis that you can attempt to attain from your healthcare provider

Please note, any recommendations we make to your diet take time, the gut can do amazing things when given time to adequately heal. This advice should also be monitored by a member of the enhanced team, or considered by a registered healthcare professional.

If any medications have been prescribed to you, DO NOT stop taking them, this is not medical advice, it is dietary advice based on the symptoms your current diet/lifestyle is causing.
