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.

I have been a member of NAVA for five years now, and I wanted to take a moment to recognize some truly wonderful people who have made such a difference in my experience. My journey with NAVA began after I discovered that my liver function levels were elevated. Having lost my mother to cirrhosis five years after she was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, I was terrified. I had watched her struggles firsthand and knew I needed to take my health seriously. That is what originally brought me to NAVA, and five years later, I am still here! The wonderful experience starts the moment you walk through the door and are greeted by Romina. She always has a smile on her face, seems to know everyone, and is an absolute wealth of information! Anytime I have had an issue or needed help, Romina has jumped right in and taken care of it quickly. She truly makes you feel welcome and valued. I also want to give a special shout-out to Hugo in the call center! I will admit, there was a time when I absolutely dreaded calling NAVA's call center. It could be frustrating, to say the least. But things have really improved, and Hugo is a big reason why I now feel so much better about calling. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly helpful. Best of all, when Hugo says he will call you back, HE ACTUALLY DOES! I love that he remembers who I am and always makes me feel like I am speaking with someone who genuinely cares. There is also another fantastic young woman in the call center whose name I just cannot recall at the moment. She is another absolute gem! Always friendly, helpful, and a pleasure to speak with. I promise to come back and update this review as soon as I remember her name because she certainly deserves recognition too! NAVA has really come a long way with its call center team, and I appreciate that. Over the years, I have worked with many wonderful people, including my former nutritionist, Nour, who was fantastic! I am currently working with Samantha, and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is focused, thorough, and genuinely invested in helping me improve my health. She takes the time to go through all my lab results, explain what they mean, and discuss what we can do to make improvements. My husband also works with Samantha, and we both think she is wonderful! My current nutritionist, Colleen, is another gem. She is always thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful, and I truly appreciate the time and attention she gives me. And let's not forget the massage therapists! I definitely make good use of my massage credits, and Cara, Andrea, and Lily are all AMAZING! Each brings something special to the table, and you honestly cannot go wrong with any of them. They are all fantastic at what they do! Has everything been perfect over the past five years? Of course not. There have been some bumps along the way, and I have certainly experienced a few frustrations. But what matters to me is seeing improvements and having people who genuinely care about making things right. In my opinion, NAVA has a GOLDEN CREW at its Fairfax location, along with some wonderful people in the call center! These employees deserve recognition for the care, dedication, and personal attention they give their patients every day. Thank you to everyone who has been part of my health journey over these past five years. It truly means more than you know! Five stars for the people who make NAVA Fairfax such a special place! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had an excellent session with Colleen who is a knowledgable and helpful nutritionist. I was able to get feedback that related to my lab tests and gave me direction with the plan designed to help me heal my gut issues. She offered insight and a better understanding of the foods, supplements and strategies needed to make the plan more effective. The results are obvious in the improvements shown on my lab results and in the way I'm feeling. Overall I'm very encouraged and appreciate having her as a partner in healing.

Romina is an absolute gem and an exceptional representative of NAVA in Fairfax. She consistently goes above and beyond to accommodate her customers, even on short notice, and makes every possible effort to find room in the schedule when help is needed. She is always easygoing, gracious, and genuinely pleasant to speak with. What stands out most is that Romina truly lives and breathes the NAVA brand. Her confidence in the products and services she represents is evident in every interaction, and that kind of sincere enthusiasm speaks volumes about both her character and the quality of the company. NAVA is fortunate to have someone as dedicated, personable, and customer-focused as Romina representing them. I have always appreciated the care and professionalism she brings to her work, and I am proud to call her a friend.

Three years in and I’m still the person referring everyone I know. My work demands everything—long days, a packed schedule, people counting on me. Nava is where I actually take care of myself instead of just saying I will. I use their full spectrum: gut restore, IV therapy, acupuncture, massage, supplements, facial services. It’s part of my routine now, not an occasional splurge. What keeps me coming back is their team. They know my name, know my needs, and treat you like you matter. I’m happier and healthier than I’ve been in years. If you give a lot to your work, you need a place that gives back. This is it.

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.
