Gut Health: The Foundation of Wellness
Did you know that 70–80% of your immune cells reside in your gut? Your gut isn't just responsible for digesting food—it plays a critical role in your immune function, mental health, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.
At Oak Health, we believe optimal health starts in the gut, taking a functional root-cause approach. That's why we offer comprehensive gut health testing that looks beyond the surface, helping you uncover hidden imbalances and pathogens that could be undermining your health.
Why Your Gut Health Matters
Your gut is home to trillions of microbes—including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites—collectively known as your gut microbiome. When balanced, this ecosystem supports:
Immune defense: The majority of your immune system is in your gut, where it acts as a first line of defense against infections.
Nutrient absorption: Your gut breaks down food and absorbs essential vitamins and minerals.
Mood regulation: Around 90% of your serotonin, your "feel-good" neurotransmitter, is produced in the gut.
Inflammation control: A healthy gut helps regulate inflammation throughout your body.
Detoxification: Your gut works in tandem with your liver to eliminate toxins.
When the gut is out of balance, symptoms may include:
- Bloating, gas, or irregular bowel movements
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Food sensitivities
- Skin issues like acne or eczema
- Frequent colds or infections
Our goal is to find the root cause of gut disfunction and correct it in a step-by-step, scientific guided plan. Using drug-free and surgery free methods only.
What We Test For
Many people carry hidden bacterial imbalances, parasites, or viruses without even knowing it. These pathogens can silently disrupt your gut microbiome, contributing to chronic symptoms or weakened immunity.
If you’re struggling with unexplained symptoms or simply want to optimize your health, gut testing offers valuable insights. By identifying the root causes of your issues, we can create a
personalized plan
to restore balance and help you feel your best.
Our advanced gut health testing identifies:
- Harmful bacteria and bacterial overgrowth
- Parasites that may cause gastrointestinal distress or malabsorption
- Viruses that affect digestion and immune health
- Yeast and fungal overgrowth
- Markers of inflammation, leaky gut, and more
