Digestive Health

RESTORE. REPAIR. REVITALIZE.

"All Disease Begins in the Gut"

While Hippocrates was not 100% correct when he suggested that ALL disease begins in the gut, he wasn’t too far off.

At Duggar Wellness, we believe that a healthy digestive system is the cornerstone of overall well-being. Our functional medicine approach to digestive health focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of various gastrointestinal disorders, rather than just treating the symptoms. By understanding the interconnectedness of the body’s systems, we can help you achieve optimal digestive health and improve your overall quality of life.

Restoring Balance

Root Cause Resolution

We recognize that each individual is unique so we create tailored treatment plans based on your specific needs, health history, and lifestyle factors.

We delve deep into the underlying causes of digestive issues, such as imbalances in gut microbiota, food sensitivities, and poor nutrient absorption, rather than just managing symptoms.

Our holistic approach combines the best of conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies, such as nutritional counseling, stress management, and herbal supplements.

We empower our patients with knowledge and tools to maintain long-term digestive health and prevent future issues.

Personalized Treatments

Functional Testing

Many people are suffering from digestive symptoms but they have been told by their doctor that there’s nothing wrong with them. Traditional testing is great for some problems but often misses the root causes of gut dysfunction. Getting the right testing is the first step toward healing.

Dietary Coaching

Your digestive system is responsible for breaking down the food you eat into the building blocks for your body. That means that there is an intimate relationship between the foods you choose to eat and the function of the organs of digestion. Getting clarity on which foods are beneficial and which ones cause problems will help you heal.

Lifestyle Medicine

Many people don’t realize that the quality of their entire lifestyle plays a direct role in the way their gut works for them. Learning how to manage stress, improve sleep habits, increase activity levels, and utilize some simple bio-hacks gives our clients power to take control of their health and gut function.

Natural Therapies

While conventional approaches often rely on drugs like antacids and antibiotics, these often come with significant long-term side effects. Utilizing time-tested methods- like enzymes, pre and probiotics, and effective herbal medicines – with the focus of returning the gut to its natural function, creates relief and healing without many of the downsides of drugs.

Real People. Real Results.

Over the course of the past few years, I've been noticing a steady decline in my health and energy. My energy was low. Every time I ate, I felt tired and sluggish and I found myself often skipping meals. The skin on my hands and legs became inflamed with eczema and kept me up many nights. I experienced dull headaches every morning and my back was constantly tense. My adrenals were off and I felt like I was either running around in adrenaline mode or burned out on the couch. I struggled with my concentration, I felt foggy and often disconnected. I found I had no reserve to keep pressing forward. My symptoms worsened and I became depressed and extremely anxious. I stopped caring about the things that meant the most to me and found the joy that had always filled my life, slowly slipping away. I knew I couldn't continue to live life this way. I felt empty. I had nothing left to give. I prayed that I would be guided to someone who would help lift me from this downward spiral that I didn't want to continue living in. That's when I felt impressed to attend a class offered by Dr. Duggar and his sweet wife, Tammie. As I sat and listened, I knew they were an answer to my pleading prayers! Dr. Jerry customized a plan for me to help eliminate my gluten and dairy sensitivity, phase III adrenal fatigue, and neck and back pain. Within days of starting the program, I felt calm, like my body took a much-needed deep breath for the first time! My head felt clear and most importantly, I felt happy again! Within a few weeks, I noticed my energy was increasing, even after eating meals! Throughout my journey, Dr. Jerry and Tammie offered a constant flow of encouragement and I found their positive energy contagious! I looked forward to my visits with them. Dr. Jerry's bright smile and warm hugs kept me motivated and made me feel like I was part of the Duggar family! Tammie always lifted my spirits and filled me with ideas and practical tools to help me have a successful pregnancy and continue to work towards my health goals. I KNEW they both genuinely cared for me and wanted me to succeed as much as I did! Today happens to be my 37th birthday and I feel better overall than I have in years! My back pain has been greatly alleviated, my headaches are gone, I feel more energy, my eczema cleared up, I can think clearly, and most importantly, I have found balance and I feel like me again! I am truly so grateful for Dr. Jerry, Tammie, and everyone at the Duggar Wellness family who helped me discover the wonderful blessings of great health! I firmly believe the old saying, "Health is our greatest wealth."
