Why people choose our IBS program

Testing, not guessing

Comprehensive stool analysis, microbiome, food sensitivity and intestinal permeability testing help show what is happening in your gut.

A plan built around you

Your 5 Phase plan pairs a personalized diet with targeted supplements and lifestyle steps chosen from your own results.

Coaches who stay with you

Diet coaches and patient support answer your questions along the way, so you are not left alone with a printout.

Natural options first

We focus on natural alternatives to drugs and surgery. We do not prescribe antifungal drugs or perform procedures.

What an IBS visit looks like here

Many people with IBS are handed a pill for the symptom and sent home. Our approach starts one step earlier: we look for the bacterial, fungal or parasitic imbalances, food reactions and gut lining problems that may sit behind gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea.

Once your lab results come back, Dr. B builds a 5 Phase plan for you. It combines food choices, practitioner-grade supplements and mind-body lifestyle steps, with diet coaches and an online natural pharmacy to support you along the way.

  • Comprehensive stool analysis and gut microbiome testing
  • Food sensitivity and intestinal permeability (leaky gut) testing
  • Heavy metal and toxic element testing when exposure is a concern
  • Candida self-evaluation and at-home test kits
  • Personalized anti-candida diet plans with one-on-one diet coaching
  • Practitioner-grade supplements through the online natural pharmacy
  • CANDISOL vegan fiber-digesting enzymes, $65 per bottle
  • Mind-Body-Biome pre/probiotics and Mind Body Essential Minerals tablets

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an IBS diagnosis before I call?

No. Many people come in with gas, bloating, constipation or diarrhea and no clear answer. We start with a consultation and testing to look at what is going on in your gut.

What does it cost?

Fees depend on the consultation and which lab tests you choose, so we go over the options with you first. Supplement prices are listed in our online pharmacy, for example CANDISOL is $65.00 per bottle.

Do you prescribe medication or do procedures?

No. We offer natural alternatives to drugs and surgery. We do not provide prescription antifungals, colonoscopies, surgery or emergency care.

I do not live in Florida. Can I still work with you?

Yes. Clinic visits are at 101 S. Crystal View, Sanford, FL, and consultations are also available by phone. Supplements and remote support are offered throughout the United States.

What kind of testing do you use?

Comprehensive stool analysis, gut microbiome testing, food sensitivity testing, intestinal permeability testing, heavy metal testing and Candida self-evaluation kits, chosen to match your case.

How long does the program take?

That depends on your results and your situation, so we explain the phases and what is involved during your consultation rather than promising a set timeline.
