Functional Wellness Clinic

If you’re bloated after every meal, your body isn’t just “being weird.” Something’s off — and your symptoms are your gut asking for help.

Let’s fix it from the root.

Step 1: Identify the Root Cause

Bloating isn’t random. It usually comes from one of three things:

• Poor digestion (food isn’t breaking down)

• Low stomach acid (very common with stress or inflammation)

• Bacterial imbalance (too much bad bacteria or not enough good)

Step 2:  Support Digestion at Every Meal

If digestion is weak, everything downstream suffers.
Before eating:

• Take 3–5 deep belly breaths

• Eat slowly — not in a rush or stressed

• Add bitter foods (lemon, apple cider vinegar, greens)

• Chew more than you think you need to

These simple habits can greatly reduce bloating. Awareness is the first step to real healing.

Step 3: Rebuild Stomach Acid & Enzymes

Low stomach acid leads to bloating, burping, heartburn, and food just sitting there.

To support your digestive fire:

• Drink less water during meals

• Use apple cider vinegar before eating

• Add quality digestive enzymes (not random blends)

• Eat enough protein

Better stomach acid = better digestion = less bloating.

Step 4: Fix the Bacterial Imbalance

If bloating hits 20–90 minutes after eating, your gut bacteria may be out of balance.
Common culprits include:

• SIBO

• Dysbiosis

• Yeast or pathogen overgrowth

• Low microbial diversity

To heal, your gut needs to:
Remove what doesn’t belong → Replace what’s missing → Repair the lining → Rebuild good bacteria.

This takes more than probiotics — it takes a protocol built for you.

Step 5: Strengthen Your Gut Long-Term

Once digestion is strong and balanced, keep your results by:

• Eating enough calories

• Managing stress

• Prioritizing sleep

• Eating whole foods with protein, fiber & healthy fats

• Avoiding extremes (like skipping meals or overtraining)

A strong gut means better energy, clear skin, balanced hormones, and less anxiety.

You can try every supplement under the sun, but if the root cause runs deeper, you’ll keep hitting a wall.

Functional lab testing removes the guesswork. It identifies:

• Bacterial overgrowths (like SIBO)

• Pathogens or parasites

• Inflammation or gut lining damage

• Low stomach acid or enzyme levels

• Yeast overgrowths

• Food sensitivities

• Microbiome diversity

These are things you can’t guess or Google.

You don’t just get lab results — you get a custom roadmap designed for your body.

Together, we’ll create:

• A step-by-step protocol

• A tailored food plan

• A supplement strategy that removes, replaces, repairs & rebuilds

• Ongoing guidance and support

No more guessing.
No more trying 20 supplements.
No more bloating after every meal.

This is how we help women go from bloated and exhausted to symptom-free — in months, not years.
