Gut Health
Why digestion affects everything else
The gut is central to nutrient absorption, immune regulation, inflammation, and even mood and cognition. Digestive symptoms are often connected to fatigue, skin issues, hormone shifts, and immune flares.
We explore food triggers, microbiome balance, motility, reflux, intestinal permeability, and how gut function may be influencing your broader health picture.
Irregularity
Unpredictable bowel patterns.
Reflux & nausea
Upper GI symptoms.
Food reactions
Symptoms tied to eating.
Where We Begin
Comprehensive Root CauseConsultation
A single, unhurried telehealth appointment where your whole history is reviewed: records, prior labs, medications and supplements. We identify what may need further evaluation.

Self-pay telehealth practice. Laboratory testing, supplements, medications and ongoing care are additional. Care complements, and does not replace, your primary care physician.
How It Connects
Systems we evaluate in digestive care
Microbiome balance
Bacterial diversity and overgrowth patterns that may contribute to bloating, irregularity, and systemic inflammation.
Motility & sensitivity
How quickly or slowly the GI tract moves — and whether nerves in the gut are hypersensitive to normal stimuli.
Nutrient absorption
Deficiencies that develop when digestion is impaired, affecting energy, immunity, and hormone production.
Gut–immune axis
Intestinal inflammation and immune activation that can drive symptoms beyond the digestive tract.
Common Concerns
Symptoms we explore in digestive care
You do not need a formal diagnosis before scheduling. These are common patterns patients describe when gut health may be part of the picture.
Distension that limits your day.
Abdominal bloating, gas, or pain — especially after meals — that has not resolved with basic dietary changes alone.
Unpredictable bowel patterns.
Alternating constipation and loose stools, urgency, or incomplete evacuation that persists over time.
Upper GI symptoms.
Heartburn, reflux, early fullness, or nausea — including when standard acid suppression has not fully helped.
Symptoms tied to eating.
Increasing food sensitivities, reactions to previously tolerated foods, or fear around eating due to symptoms.
Our Approach
How we address digestive concerns
Care is individualized. Testing, nutrition, lifestyle, and treatment recommendations depend on your history, goals, and what the evidence supports.
Symptom & diet history
We review eating patterns, triggers, prior elimination diets, and how symptoms relate to stress and sleep.
Targeted diagnostics
Stool testing, breath tests, or other evaluation when clinically indicated — with rationale explained upfront.
Layered healing plan
Nutrition, microbiome support, motility strategies, and stress reduction introduced in a sustainable sequence.
The Difference
Symptom suppression vs. root-cause digestion care
Antacids and restrictive diets alone often miss underlying drivers. We aim to understand why symptoms persist.
TopicConventional CareOur Approach
Starting pointOften requires a diagnosis or referral before deeper evaluationSymptom-focused care — you do not need to know the cause before scheduling
How symptoms are viewedEach concern may be addressed in isolation across separate appointmentsWe explore how hormones, metabolism, gut health, sleep, stress, and lifestyle may connect
TestingRoutine panels that can miss subtle patternsPrior labs reviewed in depth; additional testing suggested only when clinically appropriate
ContinuityBrief appointments with limited time to connect your full story75–90 minute initial telehealth consultation with records reviewed in advance
Our Philosophy
“Digestive symptoms are messages — not inconveniences to silence without understanding the source.”
We help you interpret what your gut may be telling you and build a plan that supports lasting improvement.
Common Questions
Questions patients often ask
Do you replace my primary care physician?
No. Continue routine preventive, screening and acute care with your existing team. This care complements it.
Are supplements or testing required?
No. Recommendations are individualized, and testing is suggested only when clinically appropriate, with purpose and cost discussed first.
Where is telehealth available?
Care is provided by secure telehealth where Dr. Schwartz holds an active license, currently Florida. You must be physically located in Florida at the time of your appointment. Additional states may be added.
Will I need an elimination diet?
Not always. Dietary changes are recommended when clinically appropriate and tailored to your symptoms — not as a default for every patient.
