Gut Health Consultation
More time to understand your digestive symptoms—and build a personalized plan.
Service Description
Digestive symptoms rarely fit neatly into a rushed appointment. If you are living with bloating, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, reflux, nausea, food-related symptoms, or an existing diagnosis such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), this consultation gives us time to determine whether there may be a straightforward solution—or whether several factors need to be addressed together. During your Gut Health Consultation, we may discuss: • Your symptoms, patterns, triggers, and timeline • How nutrition, medications, supplements, sleep, stress, hormones, and medical conditions may be affecting your digestive health • Previous testing, treatments, dietary changes, and GI evaluations • How your symptoms are affecting eating, work, travel, exercise, and everyday life • Whether additional laboratory testing, imaging, or specialist evaluation may be appropriate • Practical next steps and a personalized plan based on your individual needs Stress and digestive symptoms are often connected through the gut-brain axis—but that does not mean your symptoms are “all in your head.” It also does not mean stress is always the complete explanation. The goal is to consider the full range of possible contributors, identify concerns that need further evaluation, and develop a realistic plan for your life. Depending on your needs, recommendations may include nutrition strategies, medication or supplement review, symptom management, appropriate diagnostic testing, or coordination with a gastroenterologist, pelvic floor physical therapist, or another specialist. This consultation is ideal for adults who want more time with a physician to understand persistent or recurring digestive symptoms, review an existing GI diagnosis, or make sense of previous testing and recommendations. Focused Health & Wellness provides physician-led care in Jefferson City, with telehealth available throughout Missouri. Cost: $249 Membership credit: If you decide membership is the right fit, your consultation fee may be applied to your first month of membership.

Additional testing, medications, procedures, and specialist services are not included in the appointment fee. Seek urgent medical attention for severe or rapidly worsening abdominal pain, vomiting blood, black or bloody stools, fainting, severe dehydration, or other potentially emergent symptoms.
