Gut Health
Heal Your Gut
Get to the Root of What’s Really Going On
Digestive issues like bloating, sensitivities, or discomfort are often signals, not the whole story. Your gut plays a bigger role than most realize, impacting blood sugar, hormones, mood, and energy. When it’s off, everything feels off.
At REverse, we go deeper. We start with advanced blood chemistry and bring in gut-focused testing if needed. This lets us identify what’s fueling your symptoms, and map out the steps to help you feel balanced again.
Do Any of These Feel Familiar?
- Brain fog after meals
- Bloating or discomfort that won’t go away
- Skin breakouts, rashes, or eczema
- Mood swings tied to digestion
- Frequent infections or low immune resilience
You’re Not Imagining It.
These symptoms aren’t random; they’re signals. Your gut plays a central role in how your body manages energy, immunity, and inflammation. When it’s out of sync, so is everything else.
Unfortunately, many traditional approaches treat these issues like isolated problems or offer short-term relief without ever asking why they’re happening. At REverse, we dig deeper and help you understand what your body’s been trying to say.
Why Standard Gut Fixes Keep Failing
Most treatments just chase symptoms. Fiber for constipation. Antacids for reflux. Creams for skin flares. But none of these explain why your gut is inflamed or out of sync in the first place.
Without understanding what’s really going on inside, through lab work and root-cause analysis, the cycle keeps repeating.
My Approach
Blood Chemistry
Comes First
We begin with your labs, not assumptions. Inflammation, nutrient absorption, immune load… It’s all there when you know how to read it.
Functional Stool Testing (When Needed)
When symptoms call for deeper insight, we test your microbiome, pathogens, and gut lining to uncover what’s disrupting balance.
Gut Repair,
Personalized
Every plan includes the right mix of targeted nutrition, strategic supplements, and lifestyle changes designed to rebuild your gut from the inside out.
It’s Bigger Than
the Gut
Your gut affects hormones, mood, energy, immunity, and blood sugar. That’s why restoring it supports your entire body, not just your digestion.
How It Works
Test & Reveal
We start with advanced blood chemistry and, when needed, functional stool testing to uncover what’s disrupting your gut and triggering symptoms.
Repair & Restore
Your plan follows a proven 5-R framework: remove, replace, repopulate, repair, and rebalance, to calm inflammation and rebuild gut integrity.
Thrive & Maintain
Once balance is restored, we guide you with long-term nutrition and lifestyle strategies to keep your digestion strong and your energy steady.
Why Gut Health Matters
Your gut isn’t just about digestion; it’s the command center for your entire system. When your microbiome is off, or your gut lining becomes inflamed, it sets off a chain reaction: blood sugar spikes, cortisol imbalance, cravings, poor sleep, and low energy.
Gut dysfunction doesn’t stay in the gut. It drives insulin resistance, hormonal swings, immune disruption, and burnout.
That’s why gut health is one of the three pillars of the REverse method. By restoring balance here, we don’t just ease symptoms, we support adrenal recovery, stabilize metabolism, and rebuild the foundation for long-term wellness.

Dr. Stephen Beard is a licensed and board-certified Functional Medicine Practitioner who specializes in gut, adrenal, and metabolic health. His work begins with advanced blood chemistry, a method that reveals what typical lab reviews often miss, and builds with targeted testing when needed.
For Stephen, gut health has never been a side topic. It’s central. It connects to everything: blood sugar, stress, sleep, immunity, mood, and hormones. And after navigating his own healing journey, he understands the frustration of hearing “everything looks fine” when you know something’s off.
He built REverse to change that, to offer a clear path, rooted in science, experience, and real results.
My mission is to give you the clarity and personalized guidance you need to heal from the inside out.
