Digestive Health

The health of the gut is the foundation for the health of the body as a whole. Concerns such as diarrhea, constipation, colitis, and reflux are common in today’s society. The food you eat plays a large role in the health and function of the digestive tract. Did you know that there can often be imbalances in bacteria or digestive integrity that can be an underlying reason for symptoms or even chronic health conditions? Natural solutions to many of these common ailments are available.

I work with each person as in individual to determine underlying causes of digestive health concerns, often using specialty testing methods such as comprehensive stool analysis, SIBO breath testing, or food sensitivity testing.

Some of the conditions I work with include:

  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis)
  • Esophageal reflux  (GERD) or heartburn
  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
  • Candida/Yeast Overgrowth
  • Malabsorption
  • Celiac disease
  • Leaky Gut (Increased Intestinal Permeability)
  • Gallbladder health
  • Bloating, cramping, abdominal pain

Dr. Simms and her practice are focused on achieving balance, radiant health and wellness.

The winter blues hit everyone differently. You mig The winter blues hit everyone differently. You might find yourself looking to food or sleep for comfort while the weather changes your sleep and mood.

While you can’t change the weather, here’s some proactive steps you can take to battle the blues: ❄️

🏂 Go Outside. Exercise inside is fantastic, but don’t let that keep you from a brisk walk outside. 

🤗 Keep Social. Social interaction is important for your mood. Make sure to keep your social engagements even if you don’t feel like leaving your house. You will be glad you did.
