Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does a Gut Health & Digestive Disorders Evaluation address?
Dr. Matilsky's evaluation is designed to assess a wide range of digestive concerns, including bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel symptoms, food sensitivities, leaky gut, and chronic digestive discomfort. Because gut health is deeply connected to overall wellness, the evaluation also considers how digestive imbalances may be contributing to fatigue, skin issues, hormonal disruption, and immune challenges.
How is a Functional Medicine approach to gut health different from a standard evaluation?
A conventional approach often focuses on diagnosing and managing specific GI conditions. Dr. Matilsky's Functional Medicine approach goes deeper — examining the root causes of digestive dysfunction, including diet, stress, gut microbiome health, inflammation, and systemic imbalances. The goal is to restore true digestive health, not just suppress symptoms.
