Heal Your Gut, Heal Your Body
Your gut health problems can interfere with life in a big way. If you have to plan your life around bathroom locations, always carry antacids with you, or take days off of work, we want you to know – you don’t have to live this way! Gut healing is possible and is critical for overall health. Our gut health protocols are effective at reversing gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in over 75% of people in 30 days.
What is the Gut Health Program?
Using GlowSpring Health’s unique 5-Point Model System, we approach gut health from a holistic perspective. Our experience is that the body heals itself if we optimize: 1) Mind/Heart, 2) Body, 3) Hormones, 4) Nutrition, and 5) Detoxification. All symptoms and diseases come from imbalances in these 5 areas. When they’re optimized, the body turns on innate self-healing and over 85% of all conditions resolve.
We have found that the main driver of GI symptoms is the Chronic Stress Response. When you address the mind-body connection, you not only say goodbye to your gut symptoms, but you enjoy living a life with more joy and peace.
Why is Gut Health Important?
The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates made a profound claim thousands of years ago – all disease begins in the gut. Modern research is proving this to be true. Thousands of scientific papers published yearly support the gut health connection with virtually every organ in the body. That’s why we work on gut health with all our patients, no matter what conditions or symptoms they have.

Gut Health Starts HereOur Approach - Healing the Gut at GlowSpring Health
Begin with an initial consultation with one of our functional medicine practitioners. During this visit, we will discuss your health goals, medical history, laboratory testing, and current health status. Because of how important the gut is to overall health, we recommend our gut protocol to everyone.
This protocol offers a holistic approach to gut health. The focus is on calming the nervous system, dietary recommendations, and supplements to restore the beneficial gut bacteria. After 30 days on this protocol, most patients experience relief from their GI symptoms and do not have to continue on.
We believe in a holistic approach to health. Incorporating nutrition, lifestyle changes, and other complementary therapies helps to achieve optimal results. Our 5-Point Model System addresses all the realms that influence overall health. These include (1) natural hormones, (2) nutrition, (3) toxins, (4) mind/heart, and (5) body. Your health coach offers exceptional patient education on health maintenance and preventative strategies.
Coaching programs are not a magic pill. But they will help you with self-awareness to achieve real and long-lasting results – if you put the work in. And your coach will support you every step of the way. Most people successfully reach their health goals after the 3-month program. We set you up for long-term success even after you complete the program. You not only maintain the progress you’ve made, but can set and achieve new goals moving forward.
Using the 5-Point Model System we address the 5 areas that impact overall health, because they can also impact your GI tract. Balancing hormones, optimizing nutrients, removing toxins, increasing oxygenation, and managing stress all help the gut function the way it’s supposed to. Many gut protocols you’ll find online may recommend several supplements sworn to heal all your symptoms. Our comprehensive holistic approach is unlike other approaches and addresses true root causes.
Functional Medicine Gut Health ProgramFAQ
The gut protocols at GlowSpring Health have been tested over 20 years in over 15,000 patients. Our protocols are effective at reversing gut symptoms in over 75% of people in 30 days. The best treatment for gut health is to address the underlying causes rather than only treating symptoms. That’s why our program is so effective.
Yes, when necessary. We order functional medicine stool tests and other GI tests to look for underlying root causes of digestive issues. We also order nutritional testing to see if you are depleted in nutrients needed to support a healthy gut.
Volumes of books and scientific articles have been written on this very topic! One mechanism involves disruption to your microbiome, the bacterial population that normally lives in your gut. These good bacteria produce helpful substances that protect your gut lining and decrease inflammation. When your microbiome is altered by antibiotics, toxins, stress, or a poor diet, that protection can be lost. Once your gut barrier is breached, things pass through unregulated and circulate throughout your body to distant sites, causing disease.
