Service Description

GUT HEALTH In the body, we have 3 "minds" or 3 "brains". The first is the one with which all are familiar, the head brain or the body mind. In the past we have marked this brain as the highest and determined it to be superior against other animals as well as king over the body. Recent science has confirmed this folly. The next is the heart brain, which as the latest science has taught us does the majority of the "talking" between the body mind and the heart. What has surprised many people is the knowledge that the heart has its own 'brain'. The heart itself stores memories, modern science is only now just catching up with what our ancestors and ancient civilizations already knew. And finally, the gut-brain, better known as the enteric nervous system. The communication between this system and the first system is typically called the gut-brain axis. This brain has approximately 600 million neurons. Here at Atabey Naturopathy, we recognize that the gut is one of the most important aspects of overall health and well-being. As such, we provide nutritional strategies to support a healthy gut microbiome and address how it connects to the immune system and interacts in that gut-brain axis. We help those with digestive issues or autoimmune conditions, including IBS, SIBO, Celiac disease, Crohn’s, food allergies and sensitivities, leaky gut, and more to address their gut issues naturally. As part of our holistic approach, we also assist those looking to improve their immune system through balancing and harmonizing the gut. WEIGHT LOSS & BODY RECOMPOSITION Getting weight off is one thing but keeping it off is another. One major issue with this approach is the focus on weight, scale, numbers. And while stats are good, they don't give the full story. Body recomposition is another, in my opinion, better, approach as we are not limiting ourselves to the idea of weight loss but rather how you look, feel, move, and function. Muscle weighs more than fat. So, as you strengthen and heal your body into a harmonious state, you may see the loss of excess fat on the back of your arms, the shrinking of excess, stubborn belly fat, and other places while not seeing much of a change on the scale. Our program is curated for sustainable recomp meaning the progress you make is practical and readily maintained according to your lifestyle. In this way, you are not set up for failure, ie your body shifts back to your previous composition, after all your hard work.
