Digestive Reset

with Alessandra Ginsburg

Are you struggling with bloating, discomfort, irregular digestion, or fatigue that might be linked to your gut? Digestive Reset program is designed to gently restore balance and harmony in your digestive system, so you can feel energized, light, and fully in tune with your body again.

Why a Digestive Reset?

Your digestive health is at the heart of your overall wellness. When your gut is out of sync, it can affect everything from your energy and immune system to your mood and skin. Modern lifestyles and environmental stressors often disrupt this delicate balance.

This program uses Functional Therapy, a personalized and root-cause-focused approach that goes beyond symptom management to identify and address the underlying imbalances affecting your digestive system.

Functional Therapy Implies:

Focusing on the individual
and taking the time to listen,

Focusing on lifestyle,
individual antecedents, eating habits,

Focusing on providing Individualized support and not a one-fits-all standardized diet.

In this approach, the patient is unique, with a unique footprint requiring a targeted approach.

The nutritionist’s aim is to disclose the patient’s antecedents, both genetic and epigenetic.
It is an accompanied journey, demanding investigation and diving into the patient’s inner self, lifestyle and eating habits. It entails collecting and interpreting the patient’s personal history using tracking tools such as a nutrition matrix, a food-mood-poop journal and a timeline. These tools will help us uncover the root causes and the terrain in which your current symptoms have fed themselves.

“Food is medicine” Hippocrates correctly stated, however certain foods may trigger serious health conditions. Because we are all unique and different, we do not react in the same way to the same foods. We will concentrate on your eating habits, sensitivities, potential deficiencies and how our body reacts and absorbs the different macronutrients. Allergies? Skin rashes? Chronic pain? Constipation? Loose stools?

It’s time to help our body! The relationship between chronic pathological conditions and a healthy gut and microbiote have been scientifically established.

The good news is that the gut is able to regenerate itself, and this is why food is medicine. A healthy and diverse microbiote is key to a healthy body. And we need to nourish it. I can help you track down your offending foods and suggest alternative diets.

Here is an overview of how we will be working together:

  • Filling out a thorough questionnaire for our first appointment.
  • Filling out a timeline and a matrix together including your past and present history.
  • Establishing our action plan including the non-negotiables and potential deficiencies that need to be addressed. Might include further investigations through external lab testing or hair testing.
  • Follow up sessions to assess progress and adapt the initial action plan on the basis of the results obtained.

Before embarking on a journey together, you will be invited to a free 30 minutes’ assessment session. An opportunity to find out more about me and my approach. Am I the person you wish to have next to your side during this healing period?

Feel free to contact me.

Our gut health is fundamental to our global health and it is often overlooked. Food therapy is a powerful approach to restore our microbiote diversity, reducing ongoing inflammation and fighting back your symptoms.

Functional Testing

I use a variety of tests to assess an individual’s nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, gut health, and inflammation levels, among other things. The tests I use and offer include blood tests, urine tests, stool tests, and hair mineral balance testing. With this information, I can design personalized nutrition and lifestyle plans that address specific health concerns and improve overall wellbeing. Functional testing also allows me to track progress over time, adjust interventions as needed, and monitor the effectiveness of treatment plans.

Thus, testing is part of my comprehensive approach to nutrition and health.

The labs that I work with:

  • Blood Test- check your health
  • Stool Test- So Check
  • Hair Test- LifeLineDiag
  • Dnalysis – Nordic Lab
  • Oligo Check – So Check
  • Dutch Test – Nordic Lab
  • Saliva Metabolic Insights Test – Maven Health

DNA Testing

I am excited to present a groundbreaking addition to my services:  DNA testing through my partnership with Nordic Labs.  Genetic testing allows for actionable and personalized treatment strategies based on your individual genetic profile.

The available DNA tests are: Health, diet, sport, mind, skin, active, baby, pain, oestrogen, smile, resilience, risk and medcheck.(pharmacogenomics).

Hair Analysis

Hair analysis is a reliable and effective approach to evaluate the body’s mineral content.

It is a safe and extremely precise method to determine excesses, shortages and the overall balance of 29 elements- dietary and toxic – present in our bodies. Hair analysis gives a more precise picture of imbalances than a blood test which only reflects the state at the precise moment in which blood is drawn.
Most importantly with a hair analysis we will be able to analyse the ratio of the most important mineral pairs that affect each other and thus affect our health. The most important mineral pairs that we will be checking are the following:

Calcium (Ca)- Magnesium (Mg)
Sodium (Na) – Potassium (K)
Calcium (Ca) – Potassium (K)
Sodium (Na) – Magnesium (Mg)
Zinc (Zn) – Copper (Cu)

Stool Test

Valuable diagnostic tool for assessing the health of the gastrointestinal system by analyzing the microbiome, identifying pathogens, and measuring zonulin levels. The microbiome analysis provides insights into the balance of beneficial and harmful bacteria, which is crucial for maintaining digestive health and immune function. Pathogen detection in the stool can help diagnose infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, guiding appropriate treatment. Measuring zonulin levels is particularly important as it serves as a marker for intestinal permeability or “leaky gut,” a condition linked to various health issues including autoimmune diseases, food sensitivities, and chronic inflammation. Stool testing offers comprehensive insights into gut health, aiding in the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal disorders.

Blood Test

Available also a kit to be done at home with a simple prick test and collecting a few drops, to test food intillerances, hormone levels, thyroid health, and more.

Oligo Check

Non-invasive diagnostic tool used to assess the levels of trace elements, heavy metals, and oxidative stress in the body. It employs a technology called spectrophotometry to measure the absorption of light by the skin, providing real-time data about the body’s mineral balance and the presence of toxic elements. This test is particularly useful for detecting deficiencies or excesses of essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and selenium, to mention the most common ones,
as well as identifying harmful levels of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. Oligocheck also provides information about the body’s oxidative stress levels, which can indicate the presence of free radicals and the need for antioxidant support. This tool is often used in integrative and functional medicine to guide personalized treatment plans aimed at improving overall health and preventing chronic diseases.

Dutch Test

Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones is a diagnostic tool that measures hormone levels and their metabolites using dried urine samples. It provides detailed insights into the body’s hormone production, metabolism, and balance, including key hormones like cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and melatonin. The Dutch test is widely used in functional and integrative medicine to assess adrenal and sex hormone function, helping to identify issues like hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, and stress-related conditions. The results are often used to tailor treatment plans for hormone-related health issues.
