Gut Health & Functional Medicine in Jacksonville, FL
Stop managing symptoms. Find the root cause. Heal the gut — heal the system.
Your gut is talking. Are you listening?
Chronic bloating, IBS, food sensitivities, brain fog, fatigue — these aren't separate problems. They're signals from a digestive system that's struggling. Conventional medicine addresses the symptoms. Functional medicine finds the cause.
At Meridian, we use advanced gut testing, comprehensive case analysis, and targeted functional protocols to identify what's actually wrong and fix it. Not manage it. Fix it.
We address the 5R framework — Remove, Replace, Reinoculate, Repair, and Rebalance — so your gut heals from the inside out, and your whole-body health follows.

Gut conditions we address
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Cramping, bloating, alternating constipation and diarrhea — symptoms that cycle for years without a root cause diagnosis.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
Bacterial imbalance in the small intestine causing bloating, gas, and nutrient malabsorption. Frequently misdiagnosed as IBS.
Leaky Gut Syndrome
Increased intestinal permeability allowing undigested proteins and pathogens into the bloodstream — driving systemic inflammation.
Food Sensitivities
Immune responses to specific foods that cause delayed symptoms — often missed by standard allergy testing.
Chronic Bloating & Gas
Persistent digestive discomfort that signals underlying dysbiosis, enzyme deficiency, or structural dysfunction.
Chronic Fatigue Linked to Gut
The gut-brain axis means that gut dysfunction directly impairs energy production, sleep quality, and cognitive function.
Our functional approach to gut health
Comprehensive Testing
Organic acid testing to map what is actually growing in your gut, with bloodwork alongside it — not just a standard panel. We find what conventional testing routinely misses.
Root Cause Identification
Every symptom has a driver. We trace bloating, IBS, and fatigue back to the actual cause — pathogens, dysbiosis, enzyme deficiency, motility issues, or mucosal damage. Specifically.
Targeted Protocol
Antimicrobial herbs, probiotics, digestive enzymes, gut lining support, dietary modifications — matched to your test results. Not a generic elimination diet that may not apply to you.
Rebuild and Restore
Once we've cleared pathogens and healed the lining, we rebuild a diverse, resilient microbiome. That's the foundation that keeps everything working long-term.
