What Is Telemedicine Gut Health?
Telemedicine Gut Health at Nava Health allows you to work with top-tier functional medicine experts to solve chronic digestive issues without leaving your house. We recognize that the gut is the center of your immune system and mental health.
Through secure video consultations, we review your medical history and analyze results from advanced at-home testing kits (like DNA-based stool analysis). We then design a comprehensive protocol to repair your microbiome (“Gut Restore”), treating conditions like IBS, SIBO, and Leaky Gut with the same medical rigor as an in-person visit.
Services
Services by Our Gut Health Doctors
We bring a robust toolkit of integrative therapies to your screen.
Clinical Nutrition Counseling
Our nutritionists work virtually to identify food sensitivities and design personalized eating plans (such as Low-FODMAP, Gluten-Free, or Anti-Inflammatory diets). We don’t just restrict foods; we teach you how to nourish your microbiome for long-term resilience and symptom relief.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Your gut has hormone receptors. Imbalances in estrogen, cortisol, or thyroid hormones can cause constipation or bloating. We virtually analyze your hormone panels and prescribe bioidentical hormones to restore the rhythm of your digestive tract.
Targeted Supplementation
We stop the guessing game of buying random probiotics. Based on your lab data, we prescribe medical-grade supplements including specific probiotic strains, digestive enzymes, and antimicrobials, shipped directly to your door to rebalance your gut ecology.
Leaky Gut Treatment
We utilize a “4R Protocol” (Remove, Replace, Reinoculate, Repair) to heal intestinal permeability. By strengthening the gut lining remotely through targeted nutrients like L-Glutamine, we stop systemic inflammation and calm autoimmune reactions.
Advanced Diagnostic Testing
We utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic kits, such as the stool test and SIBO breath tests, which are mailed directly to your home. These tests detect parasites, bacteria, and fungus that standard doctors often miss, providing the data needed for a cure.
Symptoms
Symptoms That Signal It’s Time to See a Gut Specialist
If you experience these symptoms regularly, your gut needs expert attention:
- Chronic Bloating: Feeling 6 months pregnant after eating a small meal.
- Irregular Bowel Habits: Alternating constipation and diarrhea (IBS).
- Acid Reflux/GERD: Burning sensations that don’t go away with antacids.
- Brain Fog & Anxiety: Mental clarity issues linked to the gut-brain axis.
- Skin Conditions: Eczema, rosacea, or acne that flares with food.
- Food Sensitivities: Suddenly developing reactions to foods, you used to love.
- Autoimmune Disease: Conditions like Hashimoto’s often start in the gut.

What Our Clients Say

Have More Questions?
How do I do a stool test at home?
It is very simple. We mail you a discreet kit with clear instructions and all necessary supplies. You collect a small sample in the privacy of your own bathroom and mail it back to the lab in a prepaid envelope. No hospital visits are required.
Can you treat SIBO via telehealth?
Yes. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is one of the most common conditions we treat. We can order a breath test kit mailed to your home to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the results, we prescribe a protocol of herbal antimicrobials or prescription antibiotics to eradicate overgrowth.
Do I need a referral to see a gut specialist?
No, you do not need a referral to book a telehealth appointment with Nava Health. You can schedule directly with our functional medicine team to start investigating your digestive issues immediately.
Is nutrition counseling included?
We strongly recommend pairing medical visits with nutrition counseling, as diet is the foundation of gut health. Our membership model and care plans often integrate these services to ensure you have daily support in making dietary changes.
Can stress really cause my stomach problems?
Absolutely. The gut and brain are connected by the Vagus Nerve. Chronic stress puts your body in “fight or flight” mode, which shuts down digestion and can cause “Leaky Gut.” Our holistic approach includes stress management techniques to support your physical healing.
Should I stop taking my probiotics before the test?
Yes, typically. To get an accurate baseline of your natural gut flora, we usually recommend discontinuing probiotics for about 2 weeks before completing your stool test. However, you should continue any prescription medications unless your provider advises otherwise. We will give you precise instructions when we mail your kit.
How long does it take to heal a “Leaky Gut”?
Healing intestinal permeability is a process, not a quick fix. While many clients feel significant symptom relief within the first 30 days of removing inflammatory triggers, fully repairing the gut lining and restoring a healthy microbiome diversity typically takes 3 to 6 months of consistent care.
