What Is Gut Health?
Gut health is something many people ignore, but for those living with conditions like leaky gut syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), it's a major part of everyday life. At Age Less Functional Medicine, we provide gut health support with a focus on understanding what's happening in your body to deliver targeted care and relief from uncomfortable digestive symptoms. We understand the connections between gut health and overall wellness, and we specialize in custom-tailored treatments aimed at bringing your body back into balance. If you're living with frequent bloating, acid reflux, abdominal discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, or other digestive concerns, you can meet with our functional medicine specialists through telehealth from anywhere in the country or schedule a mobile health appointment in North Fort Worth, TX and the surrounding area. Reach out to Age Less Functional Medicine to start getting to the bottom of what's affecting your digestive health.
How Does Gut Health Support Work?
Digestive symptoms often tell only part of the story, which is why your evaluation begins with a detailed discussion about your overall health rather than just your condition. Depending on your symptoms and history, we may recommend comprehensive health labs to get a more in-depth view of what's happening inside your body that might be affecting your digestive health.
Your personalized care plan may include dietary changes, targeted supplementation, support for the digestive tract, and specific treatment recommendations for conditions such as GERD, IBS, SIBO, or leaky gut. Every recommendation is selected based on your individual needs, providing a more personalized approach. Because gut health can change over time, we'll continue monitoring your symptoms and adjusting your care plan to support healthy digestion and better day-to-day comfort.
What Are the Benefits of Gut Health Support?
Your digestive system influences much more than what happens after you eat. It plays an important role in nutrient absorption, immune function, inflammation, and many other processes that contribute to your overall well-being. Improving gut health can help support these functions while addressing the symptoms that may be interfering with your daily life, offering benefits such as:
- Restoring healthier digestive function
- Reducing bloating and abdominal discomfort after eating
- Improving nutrient absorption to help you stay active and energetic
- Supporting a healthier balance within the digestive system
- Enhancing energy and overall well-being
Age Less Functional Medicine Reviews
I wasn’t feeling like myself for the longest time and went to several doctors to see what was wrong, but no one could tell me. I had excessive weight gain, mood swings like no other, menstrual cycles that just disappeared, and was exhausted beyond belief. When I went to see Tommora she listened to me, did some blood work, and was able to confirm I had PCOS which explained all my symptoms. She also still works with me to this day to get those symptoms under control and checks in to make sure I am okay. I am forever grateful to her for not only helping me come up with a plan to keep my condition under control, but for listening to me when no one else would.
If you want results you can see and truly feel, go see the ladies at Age Less Functional Medicine. They will give you all the tools to be the best version of yourself. Very polite and professional staff.
I can't say enough about how amazing Tommora is. I was feeling very fatigued, my hair was thinning and on most days I just didn't want to get out of bed. My previous Doctor told me all my blood work came back normal, and I heard nothing else from them. I knew there was something wrong so I reached out to Tommora and my life has completely changed, she told me that she was going to get to the root of my problems and that she did. I get up every morning full of energy and my hair is looking great. Thank you Tommora for getting to the root of problem and taking the necessary test.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gut Health
Why is gut health important?
Your digestive system does much more than process the food you eat. It absorbs nutrients that fuel your body, supports your immune system, helps regulate inflammation, and plays an important role in your overall health. When your gut isn't functioning properly, the effects can extend to your everyday energy levels, resilience against sickness, and long-term well-being.
What foods are good for gut health?
A healthy gut often benefits from a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and other fiber-rich foods that support healthy digestion. Fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi may also be beneficial for some people. Our providers at Age Less Functional Medicine will provide personalized recommendations based on your specific concerns and health needs.
What is the difference between GERD and acid reflux?
Acid reflux describes the occasional backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus, which can cause heartburn or a sour taste in the mouth. GERD is a chronic condition in which acid reflux happens frequently enough to interfere with daily life or damage the esophagus over time. If left untreated, GERD can lead to scarring, ulcers, and an increased risk of esophageal cancer.
What is leaky gut syndrome?
When your intestines are functioning properly, they allow water and nutrients to pass through the walls and into your blood while keeping toxins from getting out. Leaky gut syndrome is a condition in which toxins and food particles are able to pass through gaps in the intestines, causing inflammation and other health concerns. High stress, heavy alcohol use, and conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have all been linked to leaky gut syndrome.
How do I know if I have IBS?
IBS often causes recurring digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, or alternating bowel habits. These symptoms can overlap with other digestive conditions, which is why it's important to schedule a professional evaluation to rule out other causes.
Take Control of Your Gut Health
Digestive symptoms may be common, but they shouldn't become your normal.
