SIBO/IBS Program

The SIBO/IBS program offers targeted interventions for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and irritable bowel syndrome.

We address root causes through comprehensive stool testing, food sensitivity assessments, and tailored supplementation strategies to restore digestive balance and alleviate chronic gastrointestinal symptoms.

Our autoimmune management program focuses on modulating immune responses through nutrition and lifestyle interventions. We implement the autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet alongside stress reduction techniques and sleep optimization strategies. Our specialists help identify food triggers, heal gut permeability issues, and develop personalized plans to reduce inflammation and manage conditions like Hashimoto's thyroiditis and lupus through holistic, evidence-based approaches.

Gut-Hormone Health

The gut-hormone health service addresses hormonal imbalances through digestive system optimization. We specialize in managing conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and thyroid disorders by improving gut microbiome diversity and function. Our approach combines hormone testing analysis with targeted nutritional interventions to enhance metabolic communication between the gastrointestinal tract and endocrine system for improved reproductive and metabolic health.

Outstanding practice. Exceptional customer service from the office reps to the dietician. Dahlia is an absolute gem. I loved being her patient. I felt like a friend more than a patient. She helped me with my SIBO diagnosis. I went on all natural supplements that got me feeling 100%. She continued to help me through out my pregnancy as well. As most pregnant women know, stomach issues are heightened during pregnancy and the diet plan that Dahlia provided made a huge difference! She not only helped me with supplements and my diagnosis but she also provided meal ideas, ingredients, maps of food

I truly cannot say enough about Dahlia and James, they are so incredibly kind and knowledgeable about healthy lifestyle, healthy gut and environmental factors. Throughout my years as a patient, Dahlia has helped me in so many ways. I went to Dahlia with extreme dizziness and awful headaches. Dahlia was able to help me by getting me on a low histamine diet with both supplements and dietary changes.

Not only was this helpful, I also learned so much about my body and important changes that I needed to make. Dahlia has the most kind heart and passion for really helping others to live their best life

WOW! I never imagined what meeting with Dahlia Marin, RDN was going to do for my life. I was having issues with my thyroid and I was having a hard time getting any sort of answers. I got the runaround from my healthcare team who were all suggesting surgery, which ultimately meant I would be taking thyroid medication for the rest of my life. I chose to meet with a dietician to get a different perspective.

Dahlia was incredible! She gave me the tools I needed to optimize my health. She spent quality time sharing her expertise, which ultimately helped me gain the knowledge I was lacking around
