At Modern Medicine, we believe the gut is the cornerstone of health. Whether someone is struggling with autoimmune disorders, Candida overgrowth, neurotransmitter imbalances, hormonal issues, heart health, or many other conditions… starting with the gut makes sense. The gut plays a vital role in metabolizing hormones, neurotransmitters, and nutrients that keep our systems balanced. It also houses around 70% of the immune system, making it a critical area to assess for inflammatory or immune-related conditions.
By conducting a comprehensive stool test, we can gain insights into gut health, identify imbalances like dysbiosis (an imbalance in gut bacteria), and assess how well your body is absorbing nutrients. These findings directly impact your mood, stress levels, and even energy production. The gut produces neurotransmitters like serotonin, which affects mood, and is involved in breaking down and detoxifying hormones like estrogen. If there’s inflammation, poor digestion, or an overgrowth of harmful bacteria, this process can be impaired, leading to widespread issues in the body.
This is why, regardless of whether you’re dealing with skin conditions, autoimmune diseases, brain fog, fatigue, or even heart issues, we start in the gut.
Here Are Some Signs You May Need a Gut Health Check:
Candida Overgrowth: Symptoms like yeast infections, thrush, or fungal issues
Digestive Issues: Bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or heartburn
Chronic Fatigue: Constant tiredness or low energy, even after adequate sleep
Mood Swings or Anxiety/Depression: The gut-brain axis plays a role in mental health
Hormonal Imbalances: Irregular periods, PMS, or difficulty with menopause
Skin Problems: Eczema, acne, or unexplained rashes
Autoimmune Conditions: Hashimoto’s, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or other inflammatory diseases
Food Sensitivities: Increasing intolerance to foods like dairy, gluten, or sugar
