Specializes in Preventive Medicine

Complex Issues: Unclear what you mean by "poor digestion". Ingesting raw material from other life, breaking it down to small molecules we can absorb into the blood & lymph system combined with protecting our body from unhealthy things are complex, partially understood issues. A common basis for problems are internalized fears expressed into the intestines, eg "butterfly" sensations prior to test not prepared for.
