Bridging the gap between conventional and functional medicineā€”so all practitioners can help their patients achieve lasting healing.

GHE was born from the simple but powerful realization that practitioners needed better resources to help their patients truly heal. After building a successful gut health consulting practice serving clients across 20 states and 4 countries, our founder saw firsthand how combining conventional medical wisdom with functional approaches led to remarkable results.

Rather than keeping this knowledge within one practice, GHE emerged as a platform to advance how providers understand and approach gut health. Our comprehensive programs and fellowshipsā€”including select courses qualifying for AMA Category 1 CME creditsā€”provide the advanced training necessary to feel confident and equipped in delivering evidence-based, transformative care.

Our Mission

Setting a new standard in gut health education

We're advancing gut health education by bringing together the best of conventional and functional medicine.

The gut's influence extends far beyond digestion, impacting virtually every system in the bodyā€”and understanding this complexity requires insights from multiple approaches. Yet practitioners often feel forced to choose one path over another. By integrating evidence-based methods from both worlds, we're creating a more complete framework for patient care and expanding what's possible in medicine.
