Integrative Gut Health Doctors in Troy

At Restoration Healthcare in Troy, we understand the full role gut health plays in your health. Yes, your gut is more than just your digestive system. It’s a command center for your immune system, a powerhouse for nutrient absorption, and a key regulator of your mood, energy, hormones, and brain health. 

If your gut is out of balance, the rest of your body often follows.

We go beyond band-aid solutions. Using integrative medicine, we address the root cause. So, whether you’re struggling with bloating or battling brain fog, our integrative gut health programs are designed to uncover the root causes and restore your whole-body wellness.

Why Gut Health Matters

Your gut plays a central role in nearly every system in your body. A healthy gut doesn’t just help you avoid digestive discomfort—it also:

  • Regulates immune function and reduces inflammation

  • Supports mental clarity, focus, and mood balance

  • Affects hormone production and detox pathways

  • Protects against chronic illness by helping your body eliminate waste and absorb nutrients efficiently


If your gut isn’t working, nothing else works quite right either. But let’s not forget the symptoms of a dysregulated gut. Bloating, cramps, indigestion, and more – an out-of-whack microbiome or a tense stomach can be miserable on its own. At our Troy clinic, we’ll help you get to the root cause.

Common Gut Disorders We Treat

Characterized by bloating, cramping, diarrhea, or constipation, IBS is often triggered by stress, food sensitivities, or bacterial imbalances. Conventional medicine may dismiss it as a “mystery,” something to treat with medications alone, but our Troy team digs deeper to find the root causes.

When bacteria that normally live in the colon start growing in the small intestine, it can cause bloating, gas, fatigue, and malabsorption. SIBO often overlaps with IBS but requires different treatment.

Also known as intestinal permeability, this condition allows toxins and undigested food particles to enter the bloodstream—triggering immune responses, inflammation, and food sensitivities.

Candida is a type of yeast that naturally lives in your gut, but when it overgrows, it can lead to fatigue, sugar cravings, brain fog, and recurrent infections. Visit our Troy integrative clinic for advanced testing and comprehensive plans.

Acid reflux is often treated with antacids or PPIs, but the real problem may lie in gut motility, stomach acid levels, or microbial imbalances.

These autoimmune-related gut disorders cause severe inflammation in the digestive tract and require a comprehensive, root-cause approach that includes immune regulation and microbiome support.

Our Comprehensive Gut Health Approach

Restoration Healthcare is built upon important Foundations of Health. We apply these areas to all patients, no matter the concern or situation. Autoimmune issues, digestive imbalances, hormone irregularities – it all comes back to these five areas.

Detoxification

We support the body’s natural detox pathways—especially the liver and colon—to reduce the buildup of toxins that inflame the gut lining and disrupt the microbiome.

Hormone Balance

Your gut and hormones are closely linked. Imbalances in estrogen, cortisol, or thyroid hormones can impact motility, digestion, and inflammation. We run comprehensive labs to catch what other providers miss.

Nutrition Therapy

We tailor your food plan to support microbiome diversity, reduce inflammation, and heal the gut lining. Many patients benefit from targeted elimination diets, gut-healing nutrients, and food sensitivity testing.

Fitness

Exercise influences digestion, lymphatic flow, and mental health. We help you find the right level and type of movement to support your gut without overwhelming your system.

Mentorship

You don’t have to do this alone. Our integrative team includes health coaches who walk with you every step of the way—helping you implement changes, manage stress, and stay accountable to your healing journey.

Gut Health: A Cornerstone of Integrative Oncology

Restoration Healthcare is well known in Troy and across the nation for its integrative oncology program. You should know that gut health is a foundation of any comprehensive integrative oncology wellness plan because of the gut’s critical role in immunity, inflammation, detoxification, and nutrient absorption—all of which directly impact cancer development, treatment response, and recovery. Over 70% of the immune system resides in the gut, making a balanced microbiome essential for proper immune surveillance and the body’s ability to fight cancer cells. 

A healthy gut also supports the body’s detox pathways by ensuring effective elimination of toxins, including those generated by chemotherapy and radiation. In fact, new research shows the microbiome can even influence how well someone responds to immunotherapy. That’s why in integrative oncology, gut health is never overlooked—it’s addressed from the start to help patients restore internal balance and support the body’s ability to heal.

What Happens if You Ignore Your Gut?

A bit of indigestion or a slight dairy reaction might be unpleasant, but you might think you don’t need to look at your gut. While every situation is different, a lot can go wrong when you ignore mild gut symptoms. 

Untreated gut issues can quietly create long-term damage. You may start with occasional bloating or indigestion, but over time, this can lead to:

  • Autoimmune disorders

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Skin issues like eczema or acne

  • Hormone imbalances

  • Mood disorders such as anxiety and depression

  • Increased toxic burden on the liver and brain

The longer you wait, the more complex the picture becomes. But the good news? The gut can heal. And when it does, the rest of your body often follows.
