Digestive health is the foundation of overall wellness. When your gut isn’t functioning properly, it can affect everything from energy and mood to immune strength and skin clarity. Yet, gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are often misdiagnosed, dismissed, or treated only with medications that mask symptoms. If you’re struggling with ongoing digestive issues, you deserve care that looks deeper.
At Genesis Integrative Medicine in Manitowoc, WI, we specialize in identifying and treating the root causes of GI disorders. Under the guidance of Terra Hartman, FNP, APNP, RN, FAAMM, we use advanced diagnostics, functional medicine principles, and regenerative therapies to help patients restore balance, reduce inflammation, and reclaim their health.
Common GI Disorders We Treat
GI disorders can present in many ways. At Genesis, we work with patients experiencing conditions such as:
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
- Leaky gut syndrome
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
- Chronic constipation or diarrhea
- Food sensitivities and intolerances
- Acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Symptoms often overlap, making it difficult to know what’s truly happening without comprehensive testing. That’s why we take the time to investigate, not assume.
Why GI Disorders Develop
Many factors can contribute to gut dysfunction, including:
- Imbalances in the gut microbiome
- Chronic stress or trauma
- Poor diet and nutrient deficiencies
- Food sensitivities or allergies
- Environmental toxins
- Hormonal and immune dysregulation
Instead of addressing just one piece, our integrative approach considers the full picture of your health.
Our Integrative Approach to GI Disorder Treatment
Your journey begins with a 90-minute consultation where we will review your full history and discuss your symptoms. From there, we use advanced testing and a personalized plan that may include:
- Comprehensive lab testing for gut bacteria, parasites, inflammation, and nutrient absorption
- Dietary guidance and herbal support to calm the digestive system and support long-term balance
- IV nutrient therapy to restore energy and correct deficiencies
- Ozone therapy to reduce inflammation and support immune health
- Peptide protocols to repair the gut lining and regulate immune function
Each plan is unique, because no two patients — and no two GI disorders — are the same.
Who Can Benefit From GI Disorder Treatment?
You may be a good candidate for integrative GI care if you:
- Have chronic bloating, pain, or irregular bowel habits
- Experience unexplained fatigue, brain fog, or skin issues linked to digestion
- Suspect food triggers but can’t identify them
- Struggle with flare-ups despite conventional treatments
- Want a holistic alternative or complement to medication-based care
