Digestive health refers to the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum.
It encompasses the following aspects:
Efficient Digestion: The breakdown of food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
Regular Bowel Movements: The elimination of waste products from the body in a timely and comfortable manner.
Healthy Gut Microbiome: A balanced population of beneficial bacteria that support digestion and overall health.
Absence of Gastrointestinal Discomfort: Minimal or no symptoms such as bloating, gas, heartburn, or abdominal pain.
Proper Nutrient Absorption: The absorption of essential nutrients from food into the bloodstream.
Good digestive health is crucial for overall well-being, as it ensures that the body receives the necessary nutrients and eliminates waste effectively. Factors that contribute to digestive health include a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and sufficient hydration.
HRT, or Hormone Replacement Therapy, can involve both bio-identical and synthetic hormones. Both BHRT and HRT aim to alleviate symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, particularly those experienced during menopause or andropause.
BHRT, or Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, is a type of hormone replacement therapy that uses hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced in the human body.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a treatment that aims to restore testosterone levels in individuals who have low testosterone, a condition also known as hypogonadism. TRT involves supplementing the body with testosterone through various methods like injections, gels, patches, or pills, to bring testosterone levels back to a healthy range.
NAD+ therapy involves administering Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+). NAD+ is a coenzyme naturally found in all living cells that plays a vital role in metabolic processes like energy production and DNA repair.
NAD+ levels can decrease with age, stress, and environmental factors, potentially impacting cellular function. The therapy aims to restore these levels to support cellular health.
Potential benefits associated with NAD+ therapy include increased energy, improved mental clarity, pain reduction, support for addiction recovery, potential anti-aging effects, and possible improvements in fertility.
Integrated Lab and Health also offers NAD+ via intramuscular injection in our office by the attending physician or for those more comfortable with a self-dosing option, an intra-nasal product is also available.
