Get Right with the Gut Microbiome

The Center for Integrative Wellness, the office of Dr. Nicholas Morgan, provides naturopathic
and functional medicine health care to Lansing residents, as well as nationwide via Telehealth. His
safe, effective, affordable and personalized naturopathic medicine approach treats the whole person without using a one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter approach to wellness. It combines science-based approaches like nutrition, dietary intervention, herbal/botanical medicine, advanced testing and lifestyle modifications with conventional medicine for a truly functional approach.

He states, “Functional medicine practitioners focus on balancing gut health with
a whole foods nutrition plan, gut-healing supplements and lifestyle adjustments. My
patients know that I’m not very big on probiotics—not because I don’t think they work,
but because you can’t trump a poor diet by taking a probiotic. That’s because you have
literally tens of trillions of gut bacteria, and your probiotic consists of tens of billions. Plus,
your diet determines what those tens of trillions of bacteria have to eat, so as long as you’re
eating the wrong foods, your gut bacteria will continue to give you problems.”
