Nutritional Medicine

At Flora Medicine, we believe our microbiomes are ecosystems, best supported by diverse and wholesome nutrition. While there is a time and place for specific or restrictive diets, we believe in finding the root cause of your symptoms, so that eating as diverse a diet as possible, is possible for you.

We understand that food is a central part of identity, and recognize there is no one-size-fits-all meal plan. We work with you, your finances, your preferences, and your strengths when recommending nutritional medicine to you. Some strategies we focus on include:

• Organic foods free of pesticides and antibiotics that harm our microbiota

• Prebiotic and fiber -rich foods

• Fermented and probiotic -rich foods

• Foods that heal the gut lining

• Specific diets like low-FODMAP, elemental, gluten-free or low carb, when necessary

• Food reintroduction support after infection
