Your gut is central to your overall health, requiring quality food for optimal function. Maintaining a balanced gut microbiome is crucial, as it affects everything from digestion to mood. I believe that addressing gut health is key to hormonal balance, and often, a healthy diet and lifestyle are more effective than medication for long-term wellness.

Mold and environmental illness
Mold illness presents in a multitude of ways and can affect multiple bodily systems. Approximately 10% of the population is allergic to mold, and 25% is genetically susceptible to mold-related illnesses. A person with mold exposure can live with biotoxin illness for several years and rapidly decline into chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) within a short period.

Autoimmune conditions
Imagine that your body is a fortress, and your immune system is your defense fighting off invaders like bacteria, viruses, or toxins(mold). If your defenses malfunctions and attacks your fortress, you may develop one of the hundred autoimmune diseases out there. Your immune system will accidentally attack your body instead of protecting it. It's unclear why your immune system does this.

Healthy Aging/Detox/ Nutrition
Many factors influence healthy aging. Some of these, such as genetics, are not in our control. Others like physical exercise, healthy diet, good hydration, good mental health, and natural supplementation are within your reach. Regular detox programs are important to your overall health. Toxins, such as poisons, pollutants, mold, and bacteria, are things that negatively affect our health. The body can eliminate these substances on its own through the liver, kidneys, GI system, and skin but our body can become overloaded with these and malfunction or develop diseases.

Bridget’s focus is addressing the root cause of your issues with the end goal to restore your health. Using cutting edge lab testing and customizing the needed interventions, Bridget will focus on your specific needs as an individual. She uses diet, lifestyle changes, and/or natural supplements to restore balance in the body. She has found most illness begin in the gut.
Today most people choose a diet and lifestyle that suppresses their good gut microbes and increases the growth of bad gut microbes. This loss of gut bacteria balance eventually throws off the wellness balance of your whole body causing you to feel ill. A healthy gut contains healthy bacteria and immune cells that prevent overgrowth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. A healthy gut communicates with the brain through nerves and hormones, which is important to maintain general health and well-being.

Functional Medicine
Vs
Integrative Medicine
Functional medicine and integrative medicine are both holistic approaches to healthcare, but they have some distinct differences. while both approaches seek to treat the whole person rather than just symptoms, functional medicine is more focused on uncovering and addressing underlying causes of disease, whereas integrative medicine combines conventional and alternative methods to treat the patient holistically.
Functional Medicine
Identifying and Addressing Root Causes of Diseases
Functional medicine uses a systems-oriented approach, considering how various body systems interact with each other. It involves gathering detailed patient histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease.
Integrative Medicine
Treating The Whole Person—Body, Mind, and Spirit
Integrative medicine is grounded in a philosophy that focuses on a therapeutic relationship between the practitioner and patient. It’s informed by evidence and makes use of all appropriate therapies. Integrative medicine not only treats illnesses but also aims to optimize health, focusing on prevention and development of effective self-care strategies.
