Digestive Problems

Good Health Begins in the Gut

Our digestive system is one of the most important systems in our whole body. It really is the foundation of health. If our body cannot efficiently digest and absorb nutrients and remove waste products, then it’s almost impossible to achieve optimal health. Eighty percent of our immune system is located in and around the digestive system. We have more neurotransmitters in our gut than we do in our brain. The gut and brain connection is heavily underestimated in regards to overall health.

I created Cutler Integrative Medicine to be the most advanced naturopathic clinic around that discovers the root cause of individuals’ symptoms, not just suppress them with a pill-per-day mentality.

Instead of reading a few popular books on natural health or attending a weekend conference on nutrition, Naturopathic Physicians are medically trained from the “ground up” in natural medicine. An ND has the proper training to look at the bigger picture of an individual’s health, and then take that information and use it in a protocol in the proper amount, combinations, and correct therapies, to ultimately lead to unparalleled health.

A holistic MD, for example, might still do five-minute patient visits and give you thyroid medication for your low thyroid performance, but Dr. Cutler will look beyond to see what is causing your thyroid to underperform in the first place.

Known as the experts in natural medicine, naturopathic doctors (NDs) integrate the ancient wisdom of nature with the modern research of science. NDs are medically trained as primary care physicians and undergo medical training that is similar in structure and scope to that of medical and osteopathic doctors. NDs complete an undergraduate degree in pre-medical science, followed by a four-year post-graduate program at one of the accredited medical schools for naturopathic medicine.

An ND’s rigorous academic curriculum incorporates training in the medical sciences that includes anatomy, physiology, immunology, histology, embryology, microbiology, biochemistry, and neuroscience. NDs are trained in clinical diagnosis, differential and laboratory diagnosis, human pathology, pharmacology, and clinical disciplines that include pediatrics, gynecology, endocrinology, rheumatology, oncology, dermatology, and gastroenterology.

Additionally, NDs are trained in naturopathic disciplines that include clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, homeopathic medicine, hydrotherapy, and lifestyle counseling. Therefore, it is important to validate that your naturopathic doctor is qualified and has graduated from an accredited medical school approved by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians.

Instead of tearing off a prescription for a pharmaceutical to suppress a specific symptom, NDs explore the big picture—the physical, emotional, genetic, spiritual, environmental, and social factors that affect overall health. While they do work to identify and alleviate symptoms, they primarily investigate and treat the underlying causes of illness, which are often the combination of factors such as, nutritional or biochemical dysf

Homeopaths and/or acupuncturists use only one modality to help an individual’s problem, whereas Naturopathic doctors use many modalities (including homeopathy and acupuncture), along with proper testing, to get to the root, and tailor a program for your individual health goals and needs. In addition, naturopathic doctors have eight years of extensive medical schooling, which helps to see the big picture of someone’s health and put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
