Digestive issues affect more than just comfort — they can influence your energy, immunity, mood, and daily quality of life.
At Hudson Integrative Healthcare, our team of naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, osteopathic manual practitioners, a registered psychotherapist, and a BIE practitioner work together to help you understand and address the root causes of your digestive concerns. Whether you are dealing with occasional discomfort or a chronic digestive condition, we are here to guide you toward lasting relief and better gut health.
Understanding Digestive Concerns:
Common Causes and Symptoms
Digestive health is influenced by a wide range of factors, from diet and lifestyle to stress levels and structural alignment. Common contributors to digestive symptoms include:
- Food intolerances and sensitivities
- Imbalances in gut bacteria (dysbiosis)
- Low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria)
- Inflammatory bowel conditions (IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis)
- Gallbladder or liver dysfunction
- Stress and emotional factors
- Musculoskeletal restrictions impacting abdominal organs
Symptoms that may signal an underlying digestive issue include:
- Bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort
- Heartburn or acid reflux
- Irregular bowel movements (constipation, diarrhea, or both)
- Food cravings or aversions
- Unexplained fatigue or nutrient deficiencies
- Nausea or poor appetite
- Skin issues (such as eczema or acne)
Because the digestive system is so interconnected with other body systems, addressing gut health often improves many seemingly unrelated symptoms as well.
How Our Team at Hudson Integrative Healthcare Supports Your Digestive Health
Our multidisciplinary team collaborates to identify root causes and build a holistic care plan to restore balance and comfort.
Naturopathic Doctors
Our naturopathic doctors provide thorough assessments, including functional lab testing when indicated (such as food sensitivity panels, microbiome analyses, or SIBO breath tests). They develop individualized treatment plans that may include:
- Nutrition counseling to identify and eliminate trigger foods
- Digestive support supplements (e.g., probiotics, enzymes, bitters)
- Herbal medicine for gut healing and microbiome balance
- Lifestyle strategies to optimize digestion and bowel regularity
Chiropractors
Digestive function is influenced by the nervous system, particularly the vagus nerve, which can be impacted by spinal health. Our chiropractors offer gentle adjustments that can:
- Support nerve function related to digestion
- Improve posture to relieve abdominal pressure
- Help regulate the body’s rest-and-digest parasympathetic response
Osteopathic Manual Practitioners
Osteopathic manual therapy uses subtle, hands-on techniques to:
- Release tension in the abdominal fascia and surrounding structures
- Promote blood flow and lymphatic drainage to the digestive organs
- Support optimal organ positioning and motility
This can enhance digestive function naturally and reduce discomfort.
Registered Psychotherapist
The connection between the gut and brain is profound. Chronic stress, trauma, and emotional strain can all impact digestive health. Our registered psychotherapist provides supportive counseling that can:
- Help patients manage stress and anxiety related to digestion
- Teach relaxation strategies that promote healthy gut function
- Address emotional patterns that may be contributing to symptoms
BIE Practitioner (BioEnergetics)
Our BIE practitioner uses muscle testing to assess energetic sensitivities to foods, environmental substances, or emotional factors that may be impacting digestion. Through non-invasive frequency-based techniques, BIE may help:
- Reset the body’s response to digestive stressors
- Support gut barrier integrity and overall digestive balance
A Holistic Path to Better Digestion
At Hudson Integrative Healthcare, we recognize that digestive health is fundamental to overall wellness. By addressing not just the symptoms, but the underlying causes — whether nutritional, structural, neurological, emotional, or energetic — we help patients build a healthier gut and a stronger foundation for long-term health.
