HERE'S WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW...

3 Misconceptions About Gut Health

ALL Disease

Begins In The Gut

Many mystery symptoms are actually GI issues in "disguise"

Patients rarely associate symptoms like brain fog, joint pain or allergies with impaired gut health, but the microbiome and the protective gut lining are our body's first defense!

That's why at Family Functional Medicine, going deeper on possible gut imbalances & stealth infections is part of our integrative approach... so we can dial down inflammation & premature aging.

Your Microbiome

Rules The Body

Have diet or antibiotics wrecked your microbiome?

Sometimes, the gut isn’t actually the problem, it's what you eat and how that affects the billions of bacteria in your GI tract. A poor diet (or frequent use of antibiotics) can kill the good gut bacteria and prevent the body from producing critical vitamins & neurotransmitters essential for balanced mood, calm mind, all-day-energy and a resilient immune system!

Leaky Gut & Inflammation

Could your symptoms be caused by an autoimmune disorder?

Persistent gut issues can spiral into systemic inflammation... which can eventually turn the body against itself. It's no wonder that psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's and type I diabetes are at an all-time high... so we need to address chronic inflammation first before looking into more conventional options to help you reclaim vibrant health + wellness.

Meet Dr. A. Ingram, MD

Alice “Ami” Ingram, MD, is licensed to practice Medicine in North Carolina and Texas. She received her undergraduate degree in Biology from North Carolina State University and her medical degree from Brody – East Carolina University School of medicine in Greenville, N.C.

Dr. Ingram spent several years working in a family practice, as well as in obstetrics. She kept noticing that many of the prescriptions she wrote included side effects that often required additional prescriptions for her patients. This created further side effects.

What was the root cause of their illness, she wondered. Was it possible to get upstream from their malady? Dr. Ingram's research soon took her to the relationship between the body's organs alongside the overlay of genetics, nutrition and lifestyle.

Ready For Amazing Results Like These?

In a medical environment where patients attempt to communicate with physicians in 10 to 15 minute increments, I find Dr. Ingram and her staff to be thoroughly committed to their patients' health. With appointment times based upon patient needs, I have been able to explain my health issues and concerns. In return, Dr. Ingram has listened and responded with health suggestions that are proving to be very effective in fighting a number of my chronic health issues. I am very thankful that I chose Dr. Ingram to guide me on my wellness journey.

Dr. Ingram knows her toxins! She is very thorough during her initial assessment and knows exactly which tests she should order. And she is sensitive to costs. She has options of treatments for you to consider. Some may take a little longer to get you cleaned up, but are very cost effective. Functional Medicine doctors are proactive and want to search out the cause of your issue and treat that.....not just give you a pill. Oh and her staff is terrific also!

Dr. Ingram has been a great blessing on my journey to better health! Her approach to wellness is based on finding the root cause of your illness and then supporting the healing process through diet, exercise, supplements, etc. She not only listens, but genuinely cares and has helped me resolve a lot of my health issues. If you have been feeling run down and not your best self, and are not just looking for modern medicine/pills to mask your symptoms, give Dr. Ingram a chance to help you... you will not be disappointed!
