We are Naturopathic Physicians focused on your Digestive Health
At Aumakua, we know exactly where to look for the digestive culprits. Our team of Naturopathic Physicians works to identify and address symptoms related to:
Decreased Digestive Capacity
Your ability to break down nutrients so they can be assimilated
Stomach and Intestinal Dysbiosis
Overgrowth of microbes: parasites, bacteria, viruses, candida.
Loss or Imbalance of Good Bacteria
Good bacteria play a huge role in barrier function, decreasing inflammation, supporting the immune system and metabolic functions.
Loss of digestive system defenses
From your mouth to your anus there are multiple layers of defense that help to keep your gut in check, when they are insufficient you are more prone to infections in inflammation
Impacts your Nervous system has on Digestion
Our whole digestive system works optimally in a relaxed state- in a constant state of stress our digestion becomes compromised
Food
Sensitivities
When our immune systems are mounting an immune response to the foods we are eating this can create inflammation, digestive discomfort and fatigue
