Personalized gut health care from a functional medicine team built for women dealing with bloating, irregular digestion, and low energy that conventional medicine has dismissed as “normal.”
Our care team will review your symptoms and help identify what’s driving your digestion, energy, and gut-testosterone connection.
These symptoms feel separate, but they’re often connected to the same root cause: an imbalanced gut.
Even “healthy” foods leave you uncomfortably full or distended.
Mid-afternoon fatigue that coffee doesn’t fix.
Trouble focusing that seems to come out of nowhere.
Doing everything right but the scale won’t move.
Your gut isn’t just about digestion. It directly influences how your body produces, metabolizes, and clears hormones including estrogen, cortisol, and the neurotransmitters that regulate mood and energy.
When your gut microbiome is imbalanced, it can disrupt hormone metabolism, trigger inflammation, and make it harder for your body to absorb the nutrients it needs, which is why gut symptoms rarely show up alone.
This is why a fragmented approach seeing a GI doctor for bloating and a separate provider for fatigue, so often falls short. At 1st Optimal, we look at the full picture.
