Gut symptoms are common — but they’re rarely isolated.
Whether you’re dealing with constipation, cramping, reflux, too many bowel movements or not enough… or even symptoms that seem unrelated — like fatigue, brain fog, or autoimmune flares — chances are, your gut is part of the story.
At DIG Nutrition, this is always where we begin.
If we don’t start by supporting the gut, we often end up chasing symptoms instead of resolving what’s driving them.
We begin by getting a full picture — your current symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and food patterns. Then we layer in targeted support while running three foundational labs:
-
A Food Sensitivity Panel
-
A Stool Analysis (GI-MAP)
-
A Comprehensive Wellness Blood Panel (CWP)
Why all three? Because real progress requires real context.
We need to understand not only what’s happening in the gut, but also how it’s impacting your body as a whole — from nutrient status and blood sugar balance to inflammation and detox capacity.
The CWP helps us identify patterns that are often missed, rule out larger concerns, and guide smart next steps that work with your physiology — not against it.
These three labs give us a clear, functional map — so we’re not guessing, and you’re not stuck in the cycle of trial and error.
What to expect when you work with us:
At DIG Nutrition, we follow a proven, step-by-step approach that honors your bio-individuality and builds progress from the inside out — from root function to full-body resilience.
🌱 Phase I: Roots / GI Support
1. Discovery + Initial Consult
We begin with intake forms, a food journal, and initial dietary recommendations while preparing for testing.
2. Report of Findings
You’ll receive a personalized plan based on your GI-MAP, Food Sensitivity Panel (MRT or CSDA), and CWP lab results — including supplement and lifestyle strategies.
3. Support Phase
We work together through the next 2–3 months, with check-ins and adjustments as your system responds.
4. Re-evaluation
We’ll review progress, reassess priorities, and determine your next best step.
🌿 Decision Point: Three Common Outcomes
A. You’re satisfied and feel complete.
You’ve reached your goals and feel confident moving forward on your own.
B. You’re in a good place, but want to go deeper.
We may explore advanced testing for hormone balance, toxin exposure, brain health, or immune resilience.
C. There’s more foundational work to do.
We may enter a second gut-focused phase before advancing to the next tier of support.
🍃 Phase II: Branches / Advanced Systems Support
If deeper layers need attention, we move into Phase II — where we address endocrine function, detox capacity, autoimmune risk, or neurological health using specialized tools and assessments.
✨ A Note on Scope
We know our role — and our limits. If something emerges that's beyond our scope, we’ll help connect you with a practitioner who’s better suited to support that piece of your journey.

Digestive Issues
IBS, bloating, reflux, GERD
Digestive symptoms often mean that food isn’t being broken down or absorbed as well as it should be. This can show up as bloating, reflux, irregular stools, or feeling worse after meals that seem “healthy.”
When we look deeper, we’re often looking for signs of irritation in the gut lining, imbalances in gut bacteria, or low digestive capacity. Tools like comprehensive stool testing help us see patterns of inflammation, insufficiency, or microbial stress that explain why digestion feels fragile — and give us a clearer path forward.
Food Sensitivities, Allergies & Intolerances
If your list of reactive foods keeps growing, it’s usually not because your body is suddenly intolerant to everything. More often, it’s a sign that the gut and immune system are overwhelmed or irritated.
We look for signals that digestion isn’t fully doing its job, that the gut barrier is under strain, or that the immune system is reacting too aggressively. Certain labs help us understand how your immune system is responding to foods and whether the gut environment is contributing. The goal is fewer reactions over time and more confidence around eating.
Hormones, PMS, Menopause & Andropause
Hormonal symptoms can show up as mood changes, cycle issues, sleep disruption, hot flashes, or low energy. While hormones take the spotlight, they’re often responding to stress, blood sugar instability, digestion issues, or nutrient depletion.
When needed, hormone-focused testing allows us to see how your body is producing, using, and clearing hormones — and how stress hormones may be influencing the picture. This helps us support hormone balance in a way that respects the whole system, especially during major life transitions.
Fatigue & Brain Fog
Chronic fatigue and brain fog are often signs that the body is under-resourced, inflamed, or stuck in a stress response. Many people are surprised to learn how much digestion, nutrient status, and blood sugar regulation affect energy and mental clarity.
We often look for patterns in comprehensive blood work that reflect nutrient depletion, inflammation, or metabolic strain. In some cases, gut testing or mineral analysis helps us understand why energy production feels compromised and where support can make the biggest difference.
Blood Sugar, Weight Changes & Metabolic Health
Weight changes, cravings, or feeling shaky or irritable between meals are often tied to how the body manages blood sugar and stress — not willpower.
Blood chemistry testing can reveal early patterns in blood sugar control, insulin response, inflammation, and nutrient balance that don’t always get flagged as “abnormal,” but are still meaningful. While many standard panels only look at fasting blood sugar, we also assess markers like HbA1C and insulin to better understand how the body is handling glucose over time.
Metabolism is also influenced by factors like hormone signaling, gut health, sleep quality, nutrient sufficiency, and chronic stress, which is why we always look at the bigger picture.
Understanding these patterns helps us support steadier energy, fewer cravings, and a more sustainable relationship with food and weight.
Immune, Inflammatory & Toxic Load Patterns
In some cases, symptoms persist not because one system is failing, but because the body is carrying more load than it can comfortably process. This might include environmental exposures, mold-related stress, heavy metals, or chronic low-grade inflammation that keeps the immune and nervous systems on edge. When this happens, the body often shifts into a protective state, prioritizing survival over repair, which can slow healing and amplify symptoms.
When it makes sense, we use targeted tools to look for signs of accumulation, impaired detox pathways, or mineral imbalances that affect how resilient the body feels day to day. This information helps us move thoughtfully and in the right order, supporting drainage, balance, and tolerance rather than pushing the body harder than it’s ready for.
