Why Gut Health Matters
The gut is often referred to as the “second brain” because of its powerful connection to the rest of the body. An imbalanced gut microbiome or poorly functioning digestive system can lead to a variety of symptoms and chronic conditions.
When your gut is out of balance, you may experience:
-
Bloating, gas, or abdominal pain
-
Irregular bowel movements (constipation or diarrhea)
-
Food sensitivities and intolerances
-
Unexplained fatigue or brain fog
-
Skin issues like acne, eczema, or rashes
-
Frequent colds or lowered immunity
-
Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
Addressing gut health is not just about relieving symptoms—it’s about restoring balance so the entire body can function at its best.
Conditions We Treat at Our San Antonio Gut Health Clinic
Functional medicine looks at the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. At our clinic, Dr. Oliver helps patients with a wide range of gut-related conditions, including:
-
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
-
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis)
-
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
-
Acid reflux and GERD

Our Approach to Gut Health
Dr. Aimee Oliver takes a comprehensive approach to gut health, combining advanced testing, nutritional guidance, lifestyle strategies, and natural therapies to help patients feel their best.
Our approach often includes:
-
Comprehensive Testing – including stool analysis, food sensitivity testing, and microbiome mapping
-
Personalized Nutrition Plans – dietary adjustments to support healing and reduce inflammation
-
Lifestyle Coaching – sleep optimization, stress management, and movement guidance
-
Targeted Supplements – probiotics, enzymes, and other evidence-based therapies to restore balance
-
Integrative Care – working alongside conventional treatments when needed
This holistic model ensures that every patient receives a customized plan designed for their unique needs.
The Gut-Body Connection
Gut health doesn’t exist in isolation—it impacts nearly every system in the body. Poor gut function can contribute to autoimmune disorders, metabolic issues, chronic fatigue, and even mood disorders. By addressing the gut first, many patients see improvements in areas they didn’t realize were connected.
For example:
-
Improving digestion can boost energy levels.
-
Healing the gut can reduce systemic inflammation.
-
Restoring gut balance may enhance skin health and mental clarity.
-
Supporting the microbiome can strengthen immunity.
This is why gut health is considered one of the foundations of functional medicine.
