Get on the Path to a Healthier Gastrointestinal (GI) System
Digestive Health Services You Can Depend On
Your Whole Body Health Depends On It
In medicine, the GI system can be referred to as the body’s second brain because it plays an integral role in our health overall. In addition to providing vital nourishment, it supports the nervous system, immune system, and skin. It houses the enteric nervous system that independently controls gastrointestinal functions.
​
At ReDefined Hawaii, our patient screening and digestive system treatments are thorough, scientifically based, and can be life-changing. Many patients first arrive at our offices after years of digestive problems and multiple symptoms. We treat the root cause after targeted testing and carefully listening to a patient’s history.

Risk Factors
Why is your digestive health under siege today?Â
Processed foods, chemical additives, overuse of sugar, stressful lives, and many other dimensions of our modern lives continue put the digestive system under greater stress each year.
​
Antibiotics and pharmaceutical medicines prescribed to treat other conditions can take a heavy toll on the gut and digestive system. All are things that have been introduced to the human body recently and their long-term effects are not completely understood. Depending on your system and how it reacts, the symptoms and side-effects can be significant.
When all of the factors combine your digestive system which is resiliant but delicate can be overwhelmed. The symptoms begin to pile up as one sub-system after another is affected. The specialists of conventional medicine often lack a holistic approach and patients suffer.

Most people with digestive health issues have lived with them for a long time and either self-medicate, try to ignore the symptoms, or learn to live with ongoing discomfort. All of this can be avoided and everyone’s function can be improved.
A personalized dietary modification program that may include challenge testing (eliminating certain foods to understand their effects) will be included for nearly all patients. Treatments also address any underlying infections, support a healthy microbiome (healthy gut bacteria), and work to reduce intestinal inflammation.
