Restoring the Foundation of Wellness
At Camarillo Functional Health, we recognize that gut health is central to overall health. The digestive system influences everything from immunity and inflammation to mood, energy, and brain function. When the gut is out of balance, it can contribute to symptoms across the entire body.
Our Approach to Gut Health
Using a Functional Medicine model, we go beyond symptom relief to uncover the root causes of digestive dysfunction. This may include:
-
Comprehensive stool testing to evaluate the microbiome, pathogens, and digestive function
-
Organic acid and food sensitivity testing for hidden triggers
-
Genetic insights to understand how you metabolize nutrients and manage inflammation
-
Immunology analysis to identify how the immune system is involved in gut dysfunction
We then create a personalized plan to restore balance through nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and targeted therapies.
Conditions We Support
-
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
-
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

Why Choose Our Approach
By integrating Functional Medicine, genetics, and immunology, we address the underlying drivers of gut dysfunction — whether microbial imbalance, immune dysregulation, or impaired detoxification. Restoring gut health not only improves digestion, but also supports mood, immunity, energy, and brain function.
