Gut Health Specialist at Radiantly Healthy MD

If you are struggling with persistent digestive symptoms such as bloating, IBS, SIBO, food sensitivities, or unexplained inflammation, working with a gut health specialist can make a meaningful difference. At Radiantly Healthy MD, we provide functional medicine gut health care focused on identifying root causes through advanced testing, personalized nutrition, and individualized treatment plans designed for long-term improvement.

Our Functional Medicine Approach to Gut Health

As a gut health specialist practice, we focus on identifying the underlying drivers of digestive symptoms rather than suppressing them. Care begins with a comprehensive review of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and prior treatments, followed by targeted diagnostic testing to clarify what is actually contributing to your gut dysfunction.

We use advanced functional medicine testing to uncover imbalances and guide personalized treatment, including:

Gut microbiome analysis to evaluate bacterial balance, diversity, and markers of dysbiosis
Food sensitivity and allergy testing to identify immune-mediated reactions that may be driving symptoms or inflammation
Inflammation and digestive function markers to assess gut integrity, absorption, and inflammatory burden

These results allow us to develop individualized nutrition and treatment strategies designed to improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and support long-term gut health rather than temporary symptom relief.

Digestive Conditions We Evaluate and Treat

Patients seek care from a gut health specialist when digestive symptoms persist despite standard treatment or when the root cause has never been clearly identified. At Radiantly Healthy MD, we commonly work with adults experiencing a range of chronic or recurrent digestive and inflammatory concerns, including:

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
Chronic bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort
Food sensitivities and intolerances
Reflux and upper gastrointestinal symptoms
Constipation, diarrhea, or alternating bowel patterns
Suspected “leaky gut” and intestinal permeability
Inflammatory or immune-related digestive symptoms

Many patients also present with non-digestive symptoms — such as fatigue, joint pain, skin issues, or autoimmune concerns — that are influenced by underlying gut dysfunction. Our functional medicine approach allows us to evaluate these connections and tailor care accordingly

Who Benefits From Working With a Gut Health Specialist

This approach is intended for adults who want a clearer understanding of the factors contributing to persistent digestive symptoms. Patients who benefit most from working with a gut health specialist are those who have ongoing issues despite prior treatment, want to identify root causes, and are open to personalized strategies that address nutrition, lifestyle, and underlying physiology.

Many patients seek this level of evaluation after feeling rushed through conventional visits or offered symptom-based treatments without deeper investigation. Our process is designed for individuals who value thoughtful assessment, advanced testing, and individualized care aligned with long-term health goals.

How Gut Health Informs Whole-Body Health

Gut health influences more than digestion alone. At Radiantly Healthy MD, microbiome and gut-related testing are often used to help evaluate immune function, inflammation, nutrient metabolism, and systemic contributors to non-digestive concerns — even when gastrointestinal symptoms are minimal or absent.

This information may be incorporated into the assessment of autoimmune conditions, joint and muscle pains, chronic fatigue, brain fog, cognitive changes, and other complex health issues, allowing care to be tailored based on how gut function may be affecting the body as a whole.
