Gut Health

Gut health issues can be hard to pin down. Bloating, discomfort, irregular digestion, food sensitivities, or reactions that seem inconsistent can make eating feel stressful instead of nourishing. When symptoms come and go without a clear pattern, it’s easy to feel unsure about what your body actually needs.

Digestion is where nutrition becomes biology. How well your body breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and interacts with the immune system is influenced by your DNA. Small genetic differences can affect enzyme function, immune signaling in the gut, and how your body responds to certain foods or environmental exposures. When digestion is strained, symptoms often extend beyond the gut, affecting energy, skin, and mental clarity.

If you want to better understand how your genetics may influence digestion and nutrient absorption, the Silver Helix Nutritional Genetics Test can help. It provides insight into genetic patterns related to metabolism and immune balance, helping you and your care team explore more personalized approaches to supporting gut and whole-body health.
